We will discuss the mean curvature flow of $n$-dimensional submanifolds in $\mathbb{R}^{n+k}$ satisfying a pinching condition $|A|^2 c|H|^2$ introduced by Andrews and Baker (2010). For suitable constants $c$, these flows resemble flows of convex...

Our study is motivated by earlier results about nodal count of Laplacian eigenfunctions on manifolds and graphs that share the same flavor: a normalized nodal count is equal to the Morse index of a certain energy functional at the critical point...

We consider systems of $N$ particles interacting through a repulsive potential in the Gross-Pitaevskii regime. We prove complete Bose-Einstein condensation and we determine the form of the low-energy spectrum, in the limit of large $N$. Our results...

The rigorous calculation of the ground state energy of dilute Bose gases has been a challenging problem since the 1950s. In particular, it is of interest to understand the extent to which the Bogoliubov pairing theory correctly describes the ground...

The Stefan problem, dating back to the XIX century, aims to describe the evolution of a solid-liquid interface, typically a block of ice melting in water. A celebrated work of Luis Caffarelli from the 1970's established that the ice-water interface...

We will discuss recent developments of the theory of a-contraction with shifts to study the stability of discontinuous solutions of systems of equations modeling inviscid compressible flows, like the compressible Euler equation.

For the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations, classical results state that weak solutions are unique in the so-called Ladyzhenskaya-Prodi-Serrin regime. A scaling analysis suggests that classical uniqueness results are sharp, but current...

An extension of Gromov compactness theorem ensures that any family of manifolds with convex boundaries, uniform bound on the dimension and uniform lower bound on the Ricci curvature is precompact in the Gromov-Hausdorff topology. In this talk, we...

In the theory of turbulence, a famous conjecture of Onsager asserts that the threshold Hölder regularity for the total kinetic energy conservation of (spatially periodic) Euler flows is 1/3. In particular, there are Hölder continuous Euler flows...
