We consider two-dimensional quasilinear wave equations with standard null-type quadratic nonlinearities. In 2001 Alinhac proved that such systems possess global in time solutions for compactly supported initial data with sufficiently small…
We study large traveling surface waves within a two-dimensional finite depth, free boundary, homogeneous, incompressible and viscous fluid governed by Darcy's law. The fluid is bound by a gravitational force to a flat rigid bottom and meets…
The immersion of the string world sheet, regarded as a Riemann surface, in $R^3$ and $R^4$ is described by the generalized Gauss map. When the Gauss map is harmonic or equivalently for surfaces of constant mean curvature, we obtain…
We consider wave maps from $(1+d)$-dimensional Minkowski space, $d\geq3$, into rotationally symmetric manifolds which arise from small perturbations of the sphere $\mathbb S^d$. We prove the existence of co-rotational self-similar finite…
This article represents the first installment of a series of papers concerned with low regularity solutions for the water wave equations in two space dimensions. Our focus here is on sharp cubic energy estimates. Precisely, we introduce and…
We investigate the problem of finding smooth hypersurfaces of constant mean curvature in hyperbolic space, which can be represented as radial graphs over a subdomain of the upper hemisphere. Our approach is variational and our main results…
The existence of co-rotational finite time blow up solutions to the wave map problem from R^{2+1} into N, where N is a surface of revolution with metric d\rho^2+g(\rho)^2 d\theta^2, g an entire function, is proven. These are of the form…
We consider the Schr\"odinger map initial value problem into the sphere in 2+1 dimensions with smooth, decaying, subthreshold initial data. Assuming an a priori $L^4$ boundedness condition on the solution, we prove that the Schr\"odinger…
We analyse an algorithm of transition between Cauchy problems for second-order wave equations and first-order symmetric hyperbolic systems in case the coefficients as well as the data are non-smooth, even allowing for regularity below the…
This paper is devoted to the 2D gravity-capillary water waves equations in their Hamiltonian formulation, addressing the general question of proving Morawetz inequalities. We continue the analysis initiated in our previous work, where we…
We investigate the statistical properties of a piecewise smooth dynamical system by studying directly the action of the transfer operator on appropriate spaces of distributions. We accomplish such a program in the case of two-dimensional…
We consider Wave Maps into the sphere and give a new proof of small data global well-posedness and scattering in the critical Besov space, in any space dimension $n \geq 2$. We use an adapted version of the atomic space $U^2$ as the single…
We develop a Hamiltonian description of point particles in (2+1)-dimensions using connection and frame-field variables for general relativity. The topology of each spatial hypersurface is that of a punctured two-sphere with particles…
The primary goal of this paper is to find a homotopy theoretic approximation to moduli spaces of holomorphic maps Riemann surfaces into complex projective space. There is a similar treatment of a partial compactification of these moduli…
An important result in the theory of harmonic maps is due to Benoist--Hulin: given a quasi-isometry $f:X\to Y$ between pinched Hadamard manifolds, there exists a unique harmonic map at a finite distance from $f$. Here we show existence of…
In this article, we first prove quantitative estimates associated to the unique continuation theorems for operators with partially analytic coefficients of Tataru, Robbiano-Zuily and H\"ormander. We provide local stability estimates that…
We present a method for converting a time record of turbulent velocity measured at a point in a flow to a spatial velocity record consisting of consecutive convection elements. The spatial record allows computation of dynamic statistical…
In this paper, we show almost global existence of small solutions to the Cauchy problem for symmetric system of wave equations with quadratic (in 3D) or cubic (in 2D) nonlinear terms and multiple propagation speeds. To measure the size of…
This paper is concerned with the global stability of the plane wave solutions to the relativistic string equation with non-small perturbations. Under certain decay assumptions on the plane wave, we conclude that the perturbed system admits…
We review recent progress on the long-time regularity of solutions of the Cauchy problem for the water waves equations, in two and three dimensions. We begin by introducing the free boundary Euler equations and discussing the local…
