Abstract

On a two-dimensional flat torus, Laplacian eigenfunctions admit explicit trigonometric representations. It is known that every first eigenstate on a rectangular or square torus is stable under the incompressible Euler dynamics modulo translations. We extend this result to flat tori of arbitrary shape and thereby obtain, to the best of our knowledge, the first family of orbitally stable sinusoidal Euler flows on a hexagonal torus. The proof uses a Burton-type stability criterion and has two main ingredients: (i) a variational characterization of each equimeasurable class in the first eigenspace and (ii) the finiteness of the number of translational orbits contained in each such class. The second ingredient is particularly delicate in the hexagonal case, where it reduces to the analysis of a polynomial system reflecting both the symmetry of the torus and the structure of its first eigenspace.

Large friction limit of compressible Navier--Stokes equations with Navier boundary conditions in a half-space

We study the large-friction limit for the three-dimensional barotropic compressible Navier-Stokes equations in a half-space. The velocity satisfies a Navier boundary condition with friction coefficient $α>0$, while the limiting problem satisfies the no-slip boundary condition. We establish estimates for local-in-time smooth solutions that are uniform in $α$ and prove strong convergence of the density and velocity as $α\to\infty$. For weak solutions, we use the Lagrangian flow maps associated with the two velocities to compare the densities and construct suitable transported test functions. This yields weak convergence to the no-slip solution. Our results provide a compressible counterpart of the large-friction limit for incompressible flows.

Bochner-Riesz means for critical magnetic Schrödinger operators in ${\mathbb R^2}$

We study $L^p$-boundedness of the Bochner-Riesz means for critical magnetic Schrödinger operators $\LL_{\A}$ in ${\mathbb R^2}$, which involve the {physical} Aharonov-Bohm potential. We show that for $1\leq p\leq +\infty$ and $p\not= 2$, the Bochner-Riesz operator $S_λ^δ(\LL_{\A})$ of order $δ$ is bounded on $L^p(\R^2)$ if and only if $δ>\max\big\{0, 2\big|1/2-1/p\big|-1/2\big\}$. The new ingredient {in} the proof is to obtain the localized $L^4(\R^2)$ estimate of $S_λ^δ(\LL_{\A})$, whose kernel is heavily affected by the physical magnetic diffraction, and more singular than the classical Bochner-Riesz means $S_λ^δ(Δ)$ for the Laplacian $Δ$ in ${\mathbb R}^2$.

Solitons, scattering and blow-up for the nonlinear Schrödinger equation with combined power-type nonlinearities on $\mathbb{R}^d\times\mathbb{T}$

We investigate the long time dynamics of the nonlinear Schrödinger equation (NLS) with combined powers on the waveguide manifold $\mathbb{R}^d\times\mathbb{T}$. Different from the previously studied NLS-models with single power on the waveguide manifolds, where the non-scale-invariance is mainly due to the mixed nature of the underlying domain, the non-scale-invariance of the present model is both geometrical and structural. By considering different combinations of the nonlinearities, we establish both qualitative and quantitative properties of the soliton, scattering and blow-up solutions. As one of the main novelties of the paper compared to the previous results for the NLS with single power, we particularly construct two different rescaled families of variational problems, which leads to an NLS with single power in different limiting profiles respectively, to establish the periodic dependence results.
