Lp theory for the multidimensional aggregation equation

We consider well‐posedness of the aggregation equation ∂_tu + div(uv) = 0, v = −▿K * u with initial data in \input amssym ${\cal P}_2 {\rm (\Bbb R}^d {\rm )} \cap L^p ({\Bbb R}^d )$ in dimensions 2 and higher. We consider radially symmetric kernels where the singularity at the origin is of order |x|^α, α > 2 − d, and prove local well‐posedness in \input amssym ${\cal P}_2 { (\Bbb R}^d {\rm )} \cap L^p ({\Bbb R}^d )$ for sufficiently large p < p_s. In the special case of K(x) = |x|, the exponent p_s = d/(d = 1) is sharp for local well‐posedness in that solutions can instantaneously concentrate mass for initial data in \input amssym ${\cal P}_2 { (\Bbb R}^d {\rm )} \cap L^p ({\Bbb R}^d )$ with p < p_s. We also give an Osgood condition on the potential K(x) that guarantees global existence and uniqueness in \input amssym ${\cal P}_2 { (\Bbb R}^d {\rm )} \cap L^p ({\Bbb R}^d )$ . © 2010 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.     

Large Deviations for Brownian Intersection Measures

We consider p independent Brownian motions in \input amssym ${\Bbb R}^d$ . We assume that p ≥ 2 and p (d ? 2) < d. Let ?_t denote the intersection measure of the p paths by time t, i.e., the random measure on \input amssym ${\Bbb R}^d$ that assigns to any measurable set \input amssym $A \subset {\Bbb R}^d$ the amount of intersection local time of the motions spent in A by time t. Earlier results of X. Chen derived the logarithmic asymptotics of the upper tails of the total mass \input amssym $\ell _t \left({{\Bbb R}^d } \right)$ as t → ∞. In this paper, we derive a large‐deviation principle for the normalized intersection measure t^?p?_t on the set of positive measures on some open bounded set \input amssym $B \subset {\Bbb R}^d$ as t → ∞ before exiting B. The rate function is explicit and gives some rigorous meaning, in this asymptotic regime, to the understanding that the intersection measure is the pointwise product of the densities of the normalized occupation times measures of the p motions. Our proof makes the classical Donsker‐Varadhan principle for the latter applicable to the intersection measure. A second version of our principle is proved for the motions observed until the individual exit times from B, conditional on a large total mass in some compact set . This extends earlier studies on the intersection measure by König and Mörters. © 2012 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.     

Area‐minimizing projective planes in 3‐manifolds

Let (M,g) be a compact Riemannian manifold of dimension 3, and let ? denote the collection of all embedded surfaces homeomorphic to \input amssym ${\Bbb R}{ \Bbb P}^2$ . We study the infimum of the areas of all surfaces in ?. This quantity is related to the systole of (M,g). It makes sense whenever ? is nonempty. In this paper, we give an upper bound for this quantity in terms of the minimum of the scalar curvature of (M,g). Moreover, we show that equality holds if and only if (M,g) is isometric to \input amssym ${\Bbb R}{ \Bbb P}^3$ up to scaling. The proof uses the formula for the second variation of area and Hamilton's Ricci flow. © 2010 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.     

Euler‐lagrange equation and regularity for flat minimizers of the Willmore functional

Let \input amssym $S\subset{\Bbb R}^2$ be a bounded domain with boundary of class C^∞, and let g_ij = δ_ij denote the flat metric on \input amssym ${\Bbb R}^2$ . Let u be a minimizer of the Willmore functional within a subclass (defined by prescribing boundary conditions on parts of ∂S) of all W^2,2 isometric immersions of the Riemannian manifold (S, g) into \input amssym ${\Bbb R}^3$ . In this article we derive the Euler‐Lagrange equation and study the regularity properties for such u. Our main regularity result is that minimizers u are C³ away from a certain singular set Σ and C^∞ away from a larger singular set Σ ∪ Σ₀. We obtain a geometric characterization of these singular sets, and we derive the scaling of u and its derivatives near Σ₀. Our main motivation to study this problem comes from nonlinear elasticity: On isometric immersions, the Willmore functional agrees with Kirchhoff's energy functional for thin elastic plates. © 2010 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.     

Periodic and solitary traveling wave solutions for the generalized Kadomtsev–Petviashvili equation

This paper is concerned with traveling waves for the generalized Kadomtsev–Petviashvili equation \input amssym.tex $(w_{t}+w_{\xi\xi\xi}+f(w)_{\xi})_{\xi}=w_{yy},(\xi,y)\in{\Bbb R}^{2}, t\in{\Bbb R}$ , i.e. solutions of the form . We study both, solutions periodic in and solitary waves, which are decaying in x, and their interrelations. In particular, we prove the existence of a sequence of k‐periodic solutions, \input amssym.def $k\in{\Bbb N}$ , which is uniformly bounded in norm and converges to a solitary wave in a suitable topology. This result also holds for the corresponding ground states, i.e. solutions with minimal energy. Copyright © 1999 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Regularity of minimizers of semilinear elliptic problems up to dimension 4

We consider the class of semistable solutions to semilinear equations ?Δu = f(u) in a bounded smooth domain Ω of \input amssym $\Bbb R^n$ (with Ω convex in some results). This class includes all local minimizers, minimal, and extremal solutions. In dimensions n ≤ 4, we establish an a priori L^∞‐bound that holds for every positive semistable solution and every nonlinearity f. This estimate leads to the boundedness of all extremal solutions when n = 4 and Ω is convex. This result was previously known only in dimensions n ≤ 3 by a result of G. Nedev. In dimensions 5 ≤ n ≤ 9 the boundedness of all extremal solutions remains an open question. It is only known to hold in the radial case Ω = B_R by a result of A. Capella and the author. © 2010 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.     

Bounded solutions of the Golab—Schinzel equation

Summary. Let \Bbb K {\Bbb K} be either the field of reals or the field of complex numbers, X be an F-space (i.e. a Fréchet space) over \Bbb K {\Bbb K} n be a positive integer, and f : X ? \Bbb K f : X \to {\Bbb K} be a solution of the functional equation¶¶f(x + f(x)ⁿ y) = f(x) f(y) f(x + f(x)^n y) = f(x) f(y) .¶We prove that, if there is a real positive a such that the set { x ? X : |f(x)| ? (0, a)} \{ x \in X : |f(x)| \in (0, a)\} contains a subset of second category and with the Baire property, then f is continuous or { x ? X : |f(x)| ? (0, a)} \{ x \in X : |f(x)| \in (0, a)\} for every x ? X x \in X . As a consequence of this we obtain the following fact: Every Baire measurable solution f : X ? \Bbb K f : X \to {\Bbb K} of the equation is continuous or equal zero almost everywhere (i.e., there is a first category set A ì X A \subset X with f(X \A) = { 0 }) f(X \backslash A) = \{ 0 \}) .     

A Seidel-Walsh theorem with linear differential operators

Assume that {S_n}₁^￥ \{S_n\}_1^\infty is a sequence of automorphisms of the open unit disk \Bbb D{\Bbb D} and that {T_n}₁^￥\{T_n\}_1^\infty is a sequence of linear differential operators with constant coefficients, both of them satisfying suitable conditions. We prove that for certain spaces X of holomorphic functions in the open unit disk, the set of functions f ? Xf \in X such that {(T_n f) °S_n:  n ? \Bbb N}\{(T_n\,f) \circ S_n: \, n \in {\Bbb N}\} is dense in H(\Bbb D)H({\Bbb D}) is residual in X. This extends the Seidel-Walsh theorem together with some subsequent results.     

A Characteristic Property of Injective Holomorphic Germs

Let X ₀ be the germ at 0 of a complex variety and let f: X₀? \Bbb Cⁿ₀f:\ X_0\rightarrow {\Bbb C}^n_0 be a holomorphic germ. We say that f is pseudoimmersive if for any g: \Bbb R₀? X₀g:\ {\Bbb R}_0\rightarrow X_0 such that f °g ? C^￥ f \circ g \in C^{\infty} , we have g ? C^￥g\in C^{\infty} . We prove that f is pseudoimmersive if and only if it is injective. Some results about the real case are also considered.     

Bulk universality for Wigner matrices

We consider N × N Hermitian Wigner random matrices H where the probability density for each matrix element is given by the density ν(x) = e^?U(x). We prove that the eigenvalue statistics in the bulk are given by the Dyson sine kernel provided that U ∈ C⁶( \input amssym $\Bbb R$ ) with at most polynomially growing derivatives and ν(x) ≥ Ce^?C|x| for x large. The proof is based upon an approximate time reversal of the Dyson Brownian motion combined with the convergence of the eigenvalue density to the Wigner semicircle law on short scales. © 2010 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.     

A General Fractional Porous Medium Equation

We develop a theory of existence and uniqueness for the following porous medium equation with fractional diffusion: \input amssym $$\left\{ {\matrix{ {{{\partial u} \over {\partial t}} + \left( { ‐ \Delta } \right)^{\sigma /2} \left( {\left| u \right|^{m ‐ 1} u} \right) = 0,} \hfill & {x \in {\Bbb R} ^N ,\,\,t > 0,} \hfill \cr {u\left( {x,0} \right) = f\left( x \right),} \hfill & {x \in {\Bbb R} ^N .} \hfill \cr } } \right.$$ We consider data \input amssym $f\in L^1(\Bbb{R}^N)$ and all exponents $0<\sigma<2\;and\;m>0$ . Existence and uniqueness of a strong solution is established for $ m > {m_\ast}={(N-\sigma)_+}/N$ , giving rise to an L¹‐contraction semigroup. In addition, we obtain the main qualitative properties of these solutions. In the lower range ${0 < m} \le {m_\ast}$ existence and uniqueness happen under some restrictions, and the properties of the solutions are different from the ones for the case above m_*. We also study the dependence of solutions on f, m, and σ. Moreover, we consider the above questions for the problem posed in a bounded domain. © 2012 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.     

A Lagrangian Approach for the Incompressible Navier‐Stokes Equations with Variable Density

We investigate the Cauchy problem for the inhomogeneous Navier‐Stokes equations in the whole n‐dimensional space. Under some smallness assumption on the data, we show the existence of global‐in‐time unique solutions in a critical functional framework. The initial density is required to belong to the multiplier space of \input amssym $\dot {B}^{n/p‐1}_{p,1}({\Bbb R}^n)$ . In particular, piecewise‐constant initial densities are admissible data provided the jump at the interface is small enough and generate global unique solutions with piecewise constant densities. Using Lagrangian coordinates is the key to our results, as it enables us to solve the system by means of the basic contraction mapping theorem. As a consequence, conditions for uniqueness are the same as for existence. © 2012 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.     

A topological degree counting for some Liouville systems of mean field type

Let A = (a_ij)_{n × n} be an invertible matrix and A⁻¹ = (a^ij)_{n × n} be the inverse of A. In this paper, we consider the generalized Liouville system (0.1) where 0 < h_j ∈ C¹(M) and \input amssym $\rho_j \in \Bbb R^+$ , and prove that, under the assumptions of (H₁) and (H₂) (see Introduction), the Leray‐Schauder degree of (0.1) is equal to if ρ = (ρ₁, …, ρ_n) satisfies Equation (0.1) is a natural generalization of the classic Liouville equation and is the Euler‐Lagrangian equation of the nonlinear function Φ_ρ: The Liouville system (0.1) has arisen in many different research areas in mathematics and physics. Our counting formulas are the first result in degree theory for Liouville systems. © 2010 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.     

Covering and packing in \Bbb Zn{\Bbb Z}^n and \Bbb Rn{\Bbb R}^n, (I)

Given a finite subset A{\cal A} of an additive group \Bbb G{\Bbb G} such as \Bbb Zⁿ{\Bbb Z}^n or \Bbb Rⁿ{\Bbb R}^n , we are interested in efficient covering of \Bbb G{\Bbb G} by translates of A{\cal A} , and efficient packing of translates of A{\cal A} in \Bbb G{\Bbb G} . A set S ì \Bbb G{\cal S} \subset {\Bbb G} provides a covering if the translates A + s{\cal A} + s with s ? Ss \in {\cal S} cover \Bbb G{\Bbb G} (i.e., their union is \Bbb G{\Bbb G} ), and the covering will be efficient if S{\cal S} has small density in \Bbb G{\Bbb G} . On the other hand, a set S ì \Bbb G{\cal S} \subset {\Bbb G} will provide a packing if the translated sets A + s{\cal A} + s with s ? Ss \in {\cal S} are mutually disjoint, and the packing is efficient if S{\cal S} has large density. In the present part (I) we will derive some facts on these concepts when \Bbb G = \Bbb Zⁿ{\Bbb G} = {\Bbb Z}^n , and give estimates for the minimal covering densities and maximal packing densities of finite sets A ì \Bbb Zⁿ{\cal A} \subset {\Bbb Z}^n . In part (II) we will again deal with \Bbb G = \Bbb Zⁿ{\Bbb G} = {\Bbb Z}^n , and study the behaviour of such densities under linear transformations. In part (III) we will turn to \Bbb G = \Bbb Rⁿ{\Bbb G} = {\Bbb R}^n .     

About weak‐strong uniqueness for the 3D incompressible Navier‐Stokes system

This article studies the problem of L² stability and weak‐strong uniqueness of solutions of the incompressible Navier‐Stokes on the whole space \input amssym ${\Bbb S}^3$ constructed by Kato's approach in spaces coming from Littlewood‐Paley theory and using the L¹ smoothing effect for the heat flow. © 2011 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.     

Dilation of Newton Polytope and <Emphasis Type="Italic">p</Emphasis>-adic Estimate

Let f(X) be a polynomial in n variables over the finite field  \mathbbF_q\mathbb{F}_{q}. Its Newton polytope Δ(f) is the convex closure in ℝ ⁿ of the origin and the exponent vectors (viewed as points in ℝ ⁿ ) of monomials in f(X). The minimal dilation of Δ(f) such that it contains at least one lattice point of $\mathbb{Z}_{>0}^{n}$\mathbb{Z}_{>0}^{n} plays a vital pole in the p-adic estimate of the number of zeros of f(X) in  \mathbbF_q\mathbb{F}_{q}. Using this fact, we obtain several tight and computational bounds for the dilation which unify and improve a number of previous results in this direction.

Zeros of Generalized Holomorphic Functions

Let f be a generalized holomorphic function on a connected open set . It is proved that f equals zero if and only if there exists a smooth curve and a set A of positive (one-dimensional) measure such that f takes zero value on A. Also, a holomorphic generalized function different from zero on the disc, which takes zero values on a dense G _δ-set of the disc, is constructed. The generalized zero set of a holomorphic function is introduced and studied in an analogous way.
