Abstract: In this talk I will show how chemotaxis can be modeled by using a nonlinear Schrödinger equation with well-known quantum dissipative mechanisms. This relation will allow us to find explicit new solitary wave solutions.

Abstract: We study high-order fractional Sobolev regularity for fully nonlinear, uniformly elliptic equations, in the presence of unbounded source terms. Our techniques are based on touching the solution with C1,α cone-like functions to produce a decay rate of the measure of certain sets.

Abstract: We consider some nonlinear extremal integral operators that approximate the, so called, degenerate truncated Laplacians. For these operators we obtain representation formulas that lead to the construction of “fundamental solutions” and to Liouville type results. Differences with respect to both the local case and the uniformly elliptic framework will be emphasized.
Abstract: An optimization problem with volume constraint involving the \(\Phi\)-Laplacian in Orlicz-Sobolev spaces is considered for the case where \(\Phi\) does not satisfy the natural condition introduced by Lieberman. A minimizer \(u_\Phi\) having non-degeneracy at the free boundary is proved to exist and some important consequences are established like the Lipschitz regularity of \(u_\Phi\) along the free boundary, that the set \(\{u_\Phi >0\}\) has uniform positive density, that the free boundary is porous with porosity \(\delta>0\) and has finite \((N-\delta)\)-Hausdorff measure. Under a geometric compatibility condition set up by Rossi and Teixeira, it is established the behavior of a \(\ell\)-quasilinear optimal design problem with volume constraint for \(\ell\) small. As \(\ell \to 0^+\), we obtain a limiting free boundary problem driven by the infinity-Laplacian operator and find the optimal shape for the limiting problem. The proof is based on a penalization technique and a truncated minimization problem in terms of the Taylor polynomial of \(u_\Phi\).

Abstract: The fruitful relationship between physics and integrability has been widely tested by different approaches. They appear, for example, in areas like gravitation and condensed matter physics using holographic or generating solution techniques. In this talk I will review some recent developments connecting integrable models, gravitation, non-Hermitian physics and field theories. The relationship between the AKNS hierarchy and anti-de Sitter three dimensional gravity will be discussed as well as the stability of complex solitons having real conserved quantities.

Abstract: In this talk, we will discuss minimizers and almost-minimizers of Alt-Caffarelli-Friedman type functionals. In particular, we will consider branch points in their free boundary. This is based on recent joint work with Guy David, Max Engelstein, and Tatiana Toro.

Abstract: In this talk, we prove the existence of an extremal function in the Hardy-Littlewood-Sobolev inequality for the energy associated with an stable operator, via a concentration-compactness principle for stable processes. This result can be seen as the first step to study existence of positive solutions of the corresponding nonlocal equations with critical nonlinearities perturbed by lower order terms.

Abstract: In the last twenty years, there have been significant advances in the study of the blow-up phenomenon for the critical generalized Korteweg-de~Vries (gKdV) equation, including the determination of sufficient conditions for blowup,the stability of blowup in a refined topology and the classification of minimal mass blowup. Exotic blow-up solutions with a continuum of blow-up rates and multi-point blow-up solutions were also constructed. However, all these results, as well as numerical simulations, involve the bubbling of a solitary wave going at infinity at the blow-up time, which means that the blow-up dynamics and the residue are eventually uncoupled. Even at the formal level, there was no indication whether blowup at a finite point could occur for this equation.

Abstract: We consider the 1+1 dimensional vector valued Principal Chiral Field model (PCF) obtained as a simplification of the Vacuum Einstein Field equations under the Belinski-Zakharov symmetry. PCF is an integrable model, but a rigorous description of its evolution is far from complete. Here we provide the existence of local solutions in a suitable chosen energy space, as well as small global smooth solutions under a certain non degeneracy condition. We also construct virial functionals which provide a clear description of decay of smooth global solutions inside the light cone. Finally, some applications are presented in the case of PCF solitons, a first step towards the study of its nonlinear stability.
