We prove that wave maps that factor as $\mathbb{R}^{1+d} \overset{\varphi_{\text{S}}}{\to} \mathbb{R} \overset{\varphi_{\text{I}}}{\to} M$, subject to a sign condition, are globally nonlinear stable under small compactly supported…

We study wave maps from $(1+d)$-dimensional Minkowski space into the $d$-sphere without any symmetry assumptions. There exists an explicit self-similar blowup solution and we prove that this solution is asymptotically stable under small…

In this paper we show a structural stability result for water waves. The main motivation for this result is that we would like to exhibit a water wave whose interface starts as a graph and ends in a splash. Numerical simulations lead to an…

In this paper we show the existence of a large class of spherically symmetric data $d$ (on a spacelike hypersurface $S$), from which a perfect fluid spacetime (surrounded by vacuum) develops. This spacetime contains an event horizon (with…

We prove global well-posedness of the initial value problem for a class of variational quasilinear wave equations, in one spatial dimension, with initial data that is not-necessarily small. Key to our argument is a form of quasilinear null…

Parabolic geometric flows are smoothing for short time however, over long time, singularities are typically unavoidable, can be very nasty and may be impossible to classify. The idea of [CM6] and here is that, by bringing in the dynamical…

We study wave maps from the circle to a general compact Riemannian manifold. We prove that the global controllability of this geometric equation is characterized precisely by the homotopy class of the data. As a remarkable intermediate…
