Analysis of PDEs (math.AP)

Abstract: In this paper, we consider an isothermal Euler-Poisson system with self-gravitational force, modeling a compact star such as strange quark star. We prove that there exists a global entropy solution with spherically symmetry outside a ball, through the fractional Lax-Friedrichs scheme and the theory of compensated compactness.

Abstract: We consider a 2D incompressible and electrically conducting fluid in the domain $\mathbb{T}\times\mathbb{R}$. The aim is to quantify stability properties of the Couette flow $(y,0)$ with a constant homogenous magnetic field $(\beta,0)$ when $|\beta|>1/2$. The focus lies on the regime with small fluid viscosity $\nu$, magnetic resistivity $\mu$ and we assume that the magnetic Prandtl number satisfies $\mu^2\lesssim\mathrm{Pr}_{\mathrm{m}}=\nu/\mu\leq 1$. We establish that small perturbations around this steady state remain close to it, provided their size is of order $\varepsilon\ll\nu^{2/3}$ in $H^N$ with $N$ large enough. Additionally, the vorticity and current density experience a transient growth of order $\nu^{-1/3}$ while converging exponentially fast to an $x$-independent state after a time-scale of order $\nu^{-1/3}$. The growth is driven by an inviscid mechanism, while the subsequent exponential decay results from the interplay between transport and diffusion, leading to the dissipation enhancement. A key argument to prove these results is to reformulate the system in terms of symmetric variables, inspired by the study of inhomogeneous fluid, to effectively characterize the system's dynamic behavior.

Abstract: We obtain the global-in-time and uniform in Knudsen number $\epsilon$ energy estimate for the cutoff and non-cutoff scaled Vlasov-Maxwell-Boltzmann system for the soft potential. For the non-cutoff soft potential cases, our analysis relies heavily on additional dissipative mechanisms with respect to velocity, which are brought about by the strong angular singularity hypothesis, i.e. $\frac12\leq s<1$. In the case of cutoff cases, our proof relies on two new kinds of weight functions and complex construction of energy functions, and here we ask $\gamma\geq-1$. As a consequence, we justify the incompressible Navier-Stokes-Fourier-Maxwell equations with Ohm's law limit.

Abstract: We consider the $3d$ energy critical nonlinear Schr\" odinger equation with data distributed according to the Gaussian measure with covariance operator $(1-\Delta)^{-s}$, where $\Delta$ is the Laplace operator and $s$ is sufficiently large. We prove that the flow sends full measure sets to full measure sets. We also discuss some simple applications. This extends a previous result by Planchon-Visciglia and the second author from $1d$ to higher dimensions.

Abstract: We extend several fundamental estimates regarding spectral multipliers for the free Laplacian on $R^3$ to the case of perturbed Hamiltonians of the form $H=-\Delta+V$, where $V$ is a scalar real-valued potential. Results include sharp endpoint bounds for Mihlin multipliers, confirming a conjecture made in [BeGo3] about intertwining operators, a characterization of the twisted Hardy spaces that correspond to these perturbed Hamiltonians, upgrading previous Strichartz estimates from [BeGo2] and [BeGo3], and maximum principles.

Abstract: We consider the 2D incompressible Euler equation on a bounded simply connected domain $\Omega$. We give sufficient conditions on the domain $\Omega$ so that for all initial vorticity $\omega_0 \in L^{\infty}(\Omega)$ the weak solutions are unique. Our sufficient condition is slightly more general than the condition that $\Omega$ is a $C^{1,\alpha}$ domain for some $\alpha>0$, with its boundary belonging to $H^{3/2}(\mathbb{S}^1)$. As a corollary we prove uniqueness for $C^{1,\alpha}$ domains for $\alpha >1/2$ and for convex domains which are also $C^{1,\alpha}$ domains for some $\alpha >0$. Previously uniqueness for general initial vorticity in $L^{\infty}(\Omega)$ was only known for $C^{1,1}$ domains with possibly a finite number of acute angled corners. The fundamental barrier to proving uniqueness below the $C^{1,1}$ regularity is the fact that for less regular domains, the velocity near the boundary is no longer log-Lipschitz. We overcome this barrier by defining a new change of variable which we then use to define a novel energy functional.

Abstract: In this paper we present the following result on regularity of solutions of the second order parabolic equation $\partial_t u - \mbox{div} (A \nabla u)+B\cdot \nabla u=0$ on cylindrical domains of the form $\Omega=\mathcal O\times\mathbb R$ where $\mathcal O\subset\mathbb R^n$ is a uniform domain (it satisfies both corkscrew and Harnack chain conditions) and has uniformly $n-1$ rectifiable boundary. Let $u$ be a solution of such PDE in $\Omega$ and the non-tangential maximal function of its gradient in spatial directions $\tilde{N}(\nabla u)$ belongs to $L^p(\partial\Omega)$ for some $p>1$. Furthermore, assume that for $u|_{\partial\Omega}=f$ we have that $D^{1/2}_tf\in L^p(\partial\Omega)$. Then both $\tilde{N}(D^{1/2}_t u)$ and $\tilde{N}(D^{1/2}_tH_t u)$ also belong to $L^p(\partial\Omega)$, where $D^{1/2}_t$ and $H_t$ are the half-derivative and the Hilbert transform in the time variable, respectively. We expect this result will spur new developments in the study of solvability of the $L^p$ parabolic Regularity problem as thanks to it it is now possible to formulate the parabolic Regularity problem on a large class of time-varying domains.
