Planar pulsating traveling wave solutions of non-cooperative Fisher--KPP systems in space-time periodic media

Abstract

Non-cooperative Fisher-KPP systems with space-time periodic coefficients are motivated for instance by models for structured populations evolving in periodic environments. This paper is concerned with entire solutions describing the invasion of open space by a persistent population at constant speed. These solutions are important in the understanding of long-time behaviors for the Cauchy problem. Adapting methods developed for scalar equations satisfying the comparison principle as well as methods developed for systems with homogeneous coefficients, we prove, in each spatial direction, the existence of a critical speed such that: there exists no almost planar generalized transition waves with a smaller speed; if the direction is rational, each rational speed not smaller than the critical speed is the speed of a planar pulsating traveling wave with time and transverse space periodicity; if the coefficients are homogeneous in space, each speed not smaller than the critical speed is the speed of a planar pulsating traveling wave with time periodicity.

Renormalized Lambert-W Cascade and Finite-Time Amplification and Blowup for reconstructed b Dynamics on T^3 for the 3D Navier Stokes Equations

This article extracts and consolidates the renormalized Lambert-$W$ branch-point cascade, its distinguished phase reduction, the exact characteristic invariant and finite-time amplification mechanism, and the extended reconstructed $b_i$ equation on $\mathbb T^3$. Repeated historical derivations are removed while the principal proofs and terminal reconstruction estimates are retained. The presentation separates exact finite-depth statements from coupled-depth asymptotics and records the hypotheses required for the extended PDE reconstruction. This paper further supports a recent paper \cite {moschandreou2026exploration} published by the corresponding author which claims that the Navier Stokes equations lose smoothness in finite time from initial smooth data.

Global harmonic analysis for $Φ^4_3$ on closed Riemannian manifolds

Following Parisi \& Wu's paradigm of stochastic quantization, we constructed in \cite{BDFT} a $Φ^4$ measure on an arbitrary closed, compact Riemannian manifold of dimension $3$ as an invariant measure of a singular stochastic partial differential equation. This solves a longstanding open problem in quantum fields on curved backgrounds. In the present work, we build all the harmonic and microlocal analysis tools that are needed in \cite{BDFT}. In particular, we extend the approach of Jagannath--Perkowski to the vectorial $Φ^4_3$ model by introducing a new Cole-Hopf transform involving random bundle maps.

Unconditional uniqueness for the derivative nonlinear Schrödinger equation by normal form approach

We prove uniqueness of solutions to the Cauchy problem for the derivative nonlinear Schrödinger equation in $L^\infty_tH^{1/2}_x$. Our proof is based on the method of normal form reduction (NFR), which has been employed to obtain the uniqueness in $C_tH^s_x$, $s>1/2$. To overcome logarithmic divergences at the $H^{1/2}$ regularity, we exploit the $B^{0+}_{\infty,1}$ control of solutions provided by a refined Strichartz estimate. Our NFR argument consists of two stages: we first use NFR finitely many times to derive an intermediate equation in which the main cubic nonlinearity is restricted to a certain type of frequency interaction; we then apply the infinite NFR scheme to the intermediate equation. Moreover, we modify the usual NFR argument relying on continuity in time of solutions so that the uniqueness in the class $L^\infty_tH^{1/2}_x$ can be obtained directly.
