We discuss the $(1+1)$-dimensional wave maps equation with values in a compact Lie group. The corresponding Gibbs measure is given by a Brownian motion on the Lie group, which plays a central role in stochastic geometry. Our main theorem is…

We study the initial value problem for the wave maps defined on the cyclic spacetime with the target Riemannian manifold that is responsive (see definition of the self coherence structure) to the parametric resonance phenomena. In…

We announce a result on the existence of a unique local solution to a stochastic geometric wave equation on the one dimensional Minkowski space $\mathbb{R}^{1+1}$ with values in an arbitrary compact Riemannian manifold. We consider a rough…

We study wave maps with values in S^d, defined on the future light cone {|x| <= t}, with prescribed data at the boundary {|x| = t}. Based on the work of Keel and Tao, we prove that the problem is well-posed for locally absolutely continuous…

In this article we consider large data Wave-Maps from $\mathbb{R}^{2+1}$ into a compact Riemannian manifold $(\mathcal{M},g)$, and we prove that regularity and dispersive bounds persist as long as a certain type of bulk (non-dispersive)…

In this article we initiate the study of 1+ 2 dimensional wave maps on a curved spacetime in the low regularity setting. Our main result asserts that in this context the wave maps equation is locally well-posed at almost critical…

We prove local and global existence from large, rough initial data for a wave map between 1+1 dimensional Minkowski space and an analytic manifold. Included here is global existence for large data in the scale-invariant norm $\dot L^{1,1}$,…

This paper aims to establish the local and global well-posedness theory in $L^1$, inspired by the approach of Keel and Tao [Internat. Math. Res. Notices, 1998], for the forced wave map equation in the ``external'' formalism. In this…

This is a survey of the inverse spectral problem on (mainly compact) Riemannian manifolds, with or without boundary. The emphasis is on wave invariants: on how wave invariants have been calculated and how they have been applied to concrete…

We construct a gauge theoretic change of variables for the wave map from $R \times R^n$ into a compact group or Riemannian symmetric space, prove a new multiplication theorem for mixed Lebesgue-Besov spaces, and show the global…

We consider stochastic wave map equation on real line with solutions taking values in a $d$-dimensional compact Riemannian manifold. We show first that this equation has unique, global, strong in PDE sense, solution in local Sobolev spaces.…

We study the local existence of strong solutions for the cubic nonlinear wave equation with data in $H^s(M)$, $s<1/2$, where $M$ is a three dimensional compact riemannian manifold. This problem is supercritical and can be shown to be…

We consider the collisions of plane gravitational and electromagnetic waves with distinct wavefronts and of arbitrary polarizations in a Minkowski background. We first present a new, completely geometric formulation of the characteristic…

We show the local wellposedness of biharmonic wave maps with initial data of sufficiently high Sobolev regularity and a blow-up criterion in the sup-norm of the gradient of the solutions. In contrast to the wave maps equation we use a…

Given a compact manifold equipped with a volume element and a Riemannian metric, we formulate and study a dual pair of optimization problems: one concerning smooth maps from the manifold into the Hilbert space $l^2$ and the other concerning…

We consider the following inverse problem: Suppose a $(1+1)$-dimensional wave equation on $\mathbb{R}_+$ with zero initial conditions is excited with a Neumann boundary data modelled as a white noise process. Given also the Dirichlet data…

In this article, we study the narrow capture problem on a Riemannian 2-manifold. This involves the derivation of the mean first passage (sojourn) time of a surface-bound ion modelled as a Brownian particle. We use a layer potential argument…

We prove sharp local smoothing estimates for wave equations on compact Riemannian manifolds in $n+1$ dimensions for odd $n$ and obtain improved estimates in even dimensions. This is achieved by deriving local smoothing estimates for certain…

A method is presented for solving the characteristic initial value problem for the collision and subsequent nonlinear interaction of plane gravitational or gravitational and electromagnetic waves in a Minkowski background. This method…

We use geometric microlocal methods to compute an asymptotic expansion of mean first arrival time for Brownian particles on Riemannian manifolds. This approach provides a robust way to treat this problem, which has thus far been limited to…
