In the first part of this paper, we investigate the sharp threshold of blow-up and global existence for the focusing nonlinear Schr\"{o}dinger equation with combined nonlinearities of mass-critical and mass-subcritical power-type.…
We establish a new fundamental class of varieties in nonnoetherian algebraic geometry related to the central geometry of dimer algebras. Specifically, given an affine algebraic variety $X$ and a finite collection of non-intersecting…
We give sufficient conditions on the initial data so that a semilinear wave inequality blows-up in finite time. Our method is based on the study of an associated second order differential inequality. The same method is applied to some…
Non-perturbative quantum geometric effects in Loop Quantum Cosmology predict a $\rho^2$ modification to the Friedmann equation at high energies. The quadratic term is negative definite and can lead to generic bounces when the matter energy…
In this paper we consider a star-shaped hypersurface flow by mean curvature. Without any assumption on the convexity, we give a new proof of gradient estimate for a short time. As an application, we also give a lower bound for the blowing…
We define Type I singularities for the mean curvature flow associated to a density $\psi$ ($\psi$MCF) and describe the blow-up at singular time of these singularities. Special attention is paid to the case where the singularity come from…
We propose a new approach to the question of prescribing Gaussian curvature on the 2-sphere with at least three conical singularities and angles less than $2\pi$, the main result being sufficient conditions for a positive function of class…
We study the problem of prescribing the Gaussian curvature on the disk and the geodesic curvature on its boundary via a conformal change of the metric. In this paper the case of negative Gaussian curvature is treated, a regime for which the…
We study how different types of blow-ups can occur in systems of hyperbolic evolution equations of the type found in general relativity. In particular, we discuss two independent criteria that can be used to determine when such blow-ups can…
The blow-up rates of derivatives of the curvature function will be presented when the closed curves contract to a point in finite time under the general curve shortening flow. In particular, this generalizes a theorem of M.E. Gage and R.S.…
We analyze finite-time blowup scenarios of locally self-similar type for the inviscid generalized surface quasi-geostrophic equation (gSQG) in $\mathbb{R}^2$. Under an $L^r$ growth assumption on the self-similar profile and its gradient, we…
We consider the Schr\"odinger equation in dimension two with a fixed, pointwise, focusing nonlinearity and show the occurrence of a blow-up phenomenon with two peculiar features: first, the energy threshold under which all solutions blow up…
In this paper we study the problem, posed by Troyanov, of prescribing the Gaussian curvature under a conformal change of the metric on surfaces with conical singularities. Such geometrical problem can be reduced to the solvability of a…
It is known that there is a class of semilinear parabolic equations for which interior gradient blow-up (in finite time) occurs for some solutions. We construct a continuation of such solutions after gradient blow-up. This continuation is…
It has previously been shown [W. Rudnicki, Phys. Lett. A 224, 45 (1996)] that a generic gravitational collapse cannot result in a naked singularity accompanied by closed timelike curves. An important role in this result plays the so-called…
In this paper we discuss models satisfying the limiting curvature condition. For this purpose we modify the Einstein-Hilbert action by adding a term which restricts the growth of curvature. We analyze cosmological solutions in such models.…
Raynaud and Gruson developed the theory of blowing-up an algebraic variety $X$ along a coherent sheaf $M$ in the sense that there exists a blow-up $X'$ of $X$ such that the "strict transform" of $M$ is flat over $X'$ and the blow-up…
We prove a blow-up criterion in terms of an $L_2$-bound of the curvature for solutions to the curve diffusion flow if the maximal time of existence is finite. In our setting, we consider an evolving family of curves driven by curve…
We study exactly self-similar blow-up profiles fot the generalized De Gregorio model for the three-dimensional Euler equation: $w_t + auw_x = u_xw, \quad u_x = Hw$ We show that for any $\alpha \in (0, 1)$ such that $|a\alpha|$ is…
Let (M,g) be a compact n-dimensional Riemannian manifold with boundary. This article is concerned with the set of scalar-flat metrics on M which are in the conformal class of g and have the boundary as a constant mean curvature…
