Abstract: The incompressible Navier-Stokes equations are considered. We find that these equations have symplectic symmetry structures. Two linearly independent symplectic symmetries form moving frame. The velocity vectors possess symplectic representations in this moving frame. The symplectic representations of two-dimensional Navier-Stokes equations hold radial symmetry persistence. On the other hand, we establish some results of radial symmetry either persistence or breaking for the symplectic representations of three-dimensional Navier-Stokes equations. Thanks radial symmetry persistence, we construct infinite non-trivial solutions of static Euler equations with given boundary condition. Therefore the randomness and turbulence of incompressible fluid appear provided Navier-Stokes flow converges to static Euler flow.

Abstract: The Minneart resonance is a low frequency resonance in which the wavelength is much larger than the size of the resonators. It is interesting to study the interaction between two adjacent bubbles when they are brought close together. Because the bubbles are usually compressible, in this paper we mainly investigate resonant modes of two general convex resonators with arbitrary shapes to extend the results of Ammari, Davies, Yu in [4], where a pair of spherical resonators are considered by using bispherical coordinates. We combine the layer potential method for Helmholtz equation in [4,5] and the elliptic theory for gradient estimates in [26,30] to calculate the capacitance coefficients for the coupled $C^{2,\alpha}$ resonators, then show the leading-order asymptotic behaviors of two different resonant modes and reveal the dependance of the resonant frequencies on their geometric properties, such as convexity, volumes and curvatures. By the way, the blow-up rates of gradient of the scattered pressure are also presented.

Abstract: It is an interesting and important topic to study the motion of small particles in a viscous liquid in current applied research. In this paper we assume the particles are convex with arbitrary shapes and mainly investigate the interaction between the rigid particles and the domain boundary when the distance tends to zero. In fact, even though the domain and the prescribed boundary data are both smooth, it is possible to cause a definite increase of the blow-up rate of the stress. This problem has the free boundary value feature due to the rigidity assumption on the particle. We find that the prescribed local boundary data directly affects on the free boundary value on the particle. Two kinds of boundary data are considered: locally constant boundary data and locally polynomial boundary data. For the former we prove the free boundary value is close to the prescribed constant, while for the latter we show the influence on the blow-up rate from the order of growth of the prescribed polynomial. Based on pointwise upper bounds in the neck region and lower bounds at the midpoint of the shortest line between the particle and the domain boundary, we show that these blow-up rates obtained in this paper are optimal. These precise estimates will help us understand the underlying mechanism of the hydrodynamic interactions in fluid particle model.

Abstract: In this paper we derive three new asymptotic models for an hyperbolic-hyperbolicelliptic system of PDEs describing the motion of a collision-free plasma in a magnetic field. The first of these models takes the form of a non-linear and non-local Boussinesq system (for the ionic density and velocity) while the second is a non-local wave equation (for the ionic density). Moreover, we derive a unidirectional asymptotic model of the later which is closely related to the well-known Fornberg-Whitham equation. We also provide the well-posedness of these asymptotic models in Sobolev spaces. To conclude, we demonstrate the existence of a class of initial data which exhibit wave breaking for the unidirectional model.

Abstract: In this paper we study the following nonlinear fractional Hartree (or Choquard-Pekar) equation \begin{equation}\label{eq_abstract} (-\Delta)^s u + \mu u =(I_\alpha*F(u)) F'(u) \quad \hbox{in}\ \mathbb{R}^N, \tag{$*$} \end{equation} where $\mu>0$, $s \in (0,1)$, $N \geq 2$, $\alpha \in (0,N)$, $I_\alpha \sim \frac{1}{|x|^{N-\alpha}}$ is the Riesz potential, and $F$ is a general subcritical nonlinearity. The goal is to prove existence of multiple (radially symmetric) solutions $u \in H^s(\mathbb{R}^N)$, by assuming $F$ odd or even. We consider both the case $\mu>0$ fixed (and the mass $\int_{\mathbb{R}^N} u^2$ free) and the case $\int_{\mathbb{R}^N} u^2 =m>0$ prescribed (and the frequency $\mu$ unknown). A key point in the proof is given by the research of suitable multidimensional odd paths, which was done in the local case by Berestycki and Lions [ARMA, 1983]. For equation \eqref{eq_abstract}, the nonlocalities play a special role in the construction of such paths. In particular, some properties of these paths are needed in the asymptotic study (as $\mu$ varies) of the mountain pass values of the unconstrained problem: this asymptotic behaviour is then exploited to describe the geometry of the constrained problem and detect infinitely many normalized solutions for any $m>0$. The found solutions satisfy in addition a Pohozaev identity: in this paper we further investigate the validity of this identity for solutions of doubly nonlocal equations under a $C^1$-regularity.

Abstract: In this work we obtain boundedness results for fractional operators associated with Schr\"odinger operators $\ \mathcal{L}=-\Delta+V$ on weighted variable Lebesgue spaces. These operators include fractional integrals and their respective commutators. Particularly, we obtain weighted inequalities of the type $L^{p(\cdot)}$-$L^{q(\cdot)}$ and estimates of the type $L^{p(\cdot)}$-Lipschitz variable integral spaces. For this purpose, we developed extrapolation results that allow us to obtain boundedness results of the type described above in the variable setting by starting from analogous inequalities in the classical context.

Abstract: We study a dissipative variant of the Gross-Pitaevskii equation with rotation. The model contains a nonlocal, nonlinear term that forces the conservation of $L^2$-norm of solutions. We are motivated by several physical experiments and numerical simulations studying the formation of vortices in Bose-Einstein condensates. We show local and global well-posedness of this model and investigate the asymptotic behavior of its solutions. In the linear case, the solution asymptotically tends to the eigenspace associated with the smallest eigenvalue in the decomposition of the initial datum. In the nonlinear case, we obtain weak convergence to a stationary state. Moreover, for initial energies in a specific range, we prove strong asymptotic stability of ground state solutions.

Abstract: In this paper we consider fractional Sobolev spaces equipped with weights being powers of the distance to the boundary of the domain. We prove the versions of Bourgain--Brezis--Mironescu and Maz'ya--Shaposhnikova asymptotic formulae for weighted fractional Gagliardo seminorms. For $p>1$ we also provide a nonlocal characterization of classical weighted Sobolev spaces with power weights.

Abstract: The work deals with the Ericksen-Leslie System for nematic liquid crystals on the whole space. In our work we suppose the initial condition of the orientation field stays on an arc connecting two fixed orthogonal vectors on the unit sphere. Thanks to this geometric assumption, we prove through energy a priori estimates the local existence and the global existence for small initial data of a solution in low regularity Sobolev spaces.

Abstract: Consider an exterior space-time domain where the incompressible Navier-Stokes equation and continuity equation hold with no bodies or force fields present, and smooth velocity at initial time. This is equivalent to the velocity being impulsively instantaneously started into motion and further assume that this force impulse is bounded. A smooth solution with a Stokeslet far-field decay for all subsequent time is sought and found, demonstrating existence and smoothness. This is given by a space-time boundary integral velocity representation by a single layer potential linear distribution of Navier-Stokes fundamental solutions called NSlets. This is obtained by extending the theory of hydrodynamic potentials to also include a non-linear potential that subsequently drops out of the formulation. Zero initial velocity gives the null solution and so there can be only one smooth solution demonstrating uniqueness in smooth space, but this is not to say that there are not other possible solutions in the wider class of non-smooth spaces.

Abstract: We discuss several seemingly assorted objects: the umbral calculus, generalised translations and associated transmutations, symbolic calculus of operators. The common framework for them is representations of the Weyl algebra of the Heisenberg group by ladder operators. Transporting various properties between different implementations we review some classic results and new opportunities.

Abstract: In this paper, we develop a Galerkin-type approximation, with quantitative error estimates, for weak solutions to the Cauchy problem for kinetic Fokker-Planck equations in the domain $(0, T) \times D \times \mathbb{R}^d$, where $D$ is either $\mathbb{T}^d$ or $\mathbb{R}^d$. Our approach is based on a Hermite expansion in the velocity variable only, with a hyperbolic system that appears as the truncation of the Brinkman hierarchy, as well as ideas from $\href{arXiv:1902.04037v2}{[Alb+21]}$ and additional energy-type estimates that we have developed. We also establish the regularity of the solution based on the regularity of the initial data and the source term.
