We consider solutions to the Euler equations in the whole space from a certain class, which can be characterized, in particular, by finiteness of mass, total energy and momentum. We prove that for a large class of right-hand sides,…

For Schr\"odinger maps from $\R^2\times\R^+$ to the 2-sphere $\S^2$, it is not known if finite energy solutions can form singularities (``blowup'') in finite time. We consider equivariant solutions with energy near the energy of the…

In deformations of polynomial functions one may encounter ``singularity exchange at infinity'' when singular points disappear from the space and produce ``virtual'' singularities which have an influence on the topology of the limit…

We exhibit a family of graphs that develop turning singularities (i.e. their Lipschitz seminorm blows up and they cease to be a graph, passing from the stable to the unstable regime) for the inhomogeneous, two-phase Muskat problem where the…

We consider 1-equivariant wave maps from \R \times (\R^3 \setminus B) to S^3 where B is a ball centered at 0, and the boundary of B gets mapped to a fixed point on S^3. We show that 1-equivariant maps of degree zero scatter to zero…

This work is a companion to [EJE1] and its purpose is threefold: first, we will establish local well-posedness for the axi-symmetric $3D$ Euler equation in the domains $\{(x_1,x_2,x_3) \in \mathbb{R}^3 : x_3^2 \le \mathfrak{c}(x_1^2 +…
