We have extended our previous work [1] on rotating holographic superfluids to include Lifshitz scaling. Presence of this scaling breaks relativistic invariance of the boundary superfluid system and indicates the existence of a Lifshitz…
We consider the following exponential reaction-diffusion equation involving a nonlinear gradient term: $$\partial_t U = \Delta U + \alpha|\nabla U|^2 + e^U,\quad (x, t)\in\mathbb{R}^N\times[0,T), \quad \alpha > -1.$$ We construct for this…
In this paper we consider the Cauchy problem for the 3D Navier-Stokes equations for incompressible flows. The initial data are assumed to be smooth and rapidly decaying at infinity. A famous open problem is whether classical solutions can…
We prove rigidity for hypersurfaces with boundary in the unit $(n+1)$-sphere with scalar curvature bounded below by $n(n-1)$. Under appropriate boundary conditions, the hypersurfaces are shown to be part of the equatorial spheres. The lower…

After recalling the Dirichlet problem at infinity on a Cartan-Hadamard manifold, we discuss what is known and the difference between the two-dimensional and higher-dimensional cases. Turning our attention to the two-dimensional case, we…
We study the Cauchy problem for a system of semi-linear coupled fractional-diffusion equations with polynomial nonlinearities posed in $% \mathbb{R}_{+}\times \mathbb{R}^{N}$. Under appropriate conditions on the exponents and the orders of…
We give multiplicity results for the problem of prescribing the scalar curvature on Cauchy- Riemann spheres under Beta-flatness condition. To give a lower bound for the number of solutions, we use Bahri methods based on the theory of…
This paper is devoted to the prescribed scalar curvature under minimal boundary mean curvature on the standard four dimensional half sphere. Using topological methods from the theory of critical points at infinity, we prove some existence…
Under mean curvature flow, a closed, embedded hypersurface $M(t)$ becomes singular in finite time. For certain classes of mean-convex mean curvature flows, we show the continuity of the first singular time $T$ and the limit set "$M(T)$",…
Using the method of blow-up analysis, we obtain two sharp Trudinger-Moser inequalities on a compact Riemann surface with smooth boundary, as well as the existence of the corresponding extremals. This generalizes early results of Chang-Yang…
We consider asymptotically self-similar blow-up profiles of the thin film equation consisting of a stabilising fourth order and destabilising second order term. It has previously been shown that blow up is only possible when the exponent in…
We study critical phenomena in the gravitational collapse of a radiation fluid. We perform numerical simulations in both spherical symmetry and axisymmetry, and observe critical scaling in both supercritical evolutions, which lead to the…
We investigate the problem of finding complete strictly convex hypersurfaces of constant curvature in hyperbolic space with a prescribed asymptotic boundary at infinity for a general class of curvature functions.

Given a strictly pseudoconvex CR manifold $M$ of dimension three and positive CR Yamabe class, and a positive smooth function $K:M\to\mathbf{R}$ verifying some mild and generic hypotheses, we prove the compactness of the set of solutions of…
Application of "complete scaling" [Kim et al., Phys. Rev. E 67, 061506 (2003); Anisimov and Wang, Phys. Rev. Lett. 97, 25703 (2006)] to the interfacial behavior of fluids shows that Tolman's length, a curvature correction to the surface…
