Abstract

We study the McKean-Vlasov equation for weakly coupled oscillators for the Sakaguchi-Kuramoto model. While the original Kuramoto model with purely sinusoidal coupling provides a good description for small densely connected networks, time delays in large networks generate symmetry-breaking phase offsets. Sakaguchi and Kuramoto proposed the simplest extension that captures this effect by incorporating a mean-field frustration parameter into a single-mode interaction. We establish a continuous global phase transition from incoherence to a unique non-equilibrium traveling-wave state that takes the form of a rotating exponentially modified circular normal distribution. This is a novel skew extension of the von Mises distribution family that is parametrized by location parameter, concentration parameter, and skewness parameter that arises through exponential filtering of its Fourier spectrum. The extension is natural in that it preserves the fragile Bessel moment hierarchy, which ensures that the family remains globally identifiable, a property not shared by existing skew extensions. The equation for traveling waves reduces to a mean-field self-consistency condition for the concentration parameter and the skewness parameter. The latter plays a dual role, statistically as a skewness parameter and dynamically as the effective frustration in that it is the wave speed. Existence and uniqueness are proven by showing that the normalized mean resultant map (the asymmetric deformation of the normalized Bessel ratio)is strictly monotone along the isogones, rendering it a globally invertible map between natural (bare) and mean (effective) parameters. The proof combines tools from geometric function theory and analytic combinatorics.

Blow-Up Dynamics for the $L^2$ critical case of the $2$D Zakharov-Kuznetsov equation

We study blow-up dynamics for the $L^2$-critical cubic Zakharov--Kuznetsov equation in two dimensions, \[ \partial_tu+\partial_{x_1}(Δu+u^3)=0 \qquad\text{on }\mathbb R^2. \] For a class of localized $H^1$ perturbations of the ground state $Q$, we establish a trichotomy near the soliton manifold: exit from a small $L^2$-tube, global asymptotic stability, or finite-time blow-up. In the stable blow-up regime, the solution concentrates a single bubble and \[ λ(t)\sim \ell_0(T-t)^{1/(3-c)}, \] where $\ell_0>0$ depends on the initial datum and $c\in(1,2)$ is an explicit constant determined by the transverse tail of the first-order approximate profile. Consequently, \[ \|\nabla u(t)\|_{L^2} \sim \frac{\|\nabla Q\|_{L^2}} {\ell_0(T-t)^{1/(3-c)}}. \] After subtraction of the concentrating soliton, the radiation converges strongly in $L^p(\mathbb R^2)$ for every $2\leq p<\infty$ to a common nonzero profile $u^*$, while \[ u^*\notin H^s(\mathbb R^2) \qquad\text{for every }s\geq\frac c2. \] The stable blow-up branch is open in the relative $H^1$ topology of the localized class. Finally, every non-soliton datum in this class with non-positive energy blows up in finite time. Interval-arithmetic computer-assisted proofs certify the numerical inputs to the virial coercivity argument. They also yield a rigorous enclosure of $c$, justifying the polynomial moment of order $21$ imposed on the initial data.

Propagation of wave packets close to conical intersections

In this paper, we study the propagation of wave packets close to conical intersections with respect to a system of two Schr{ö}dinger equations presenting a codimension 2 crossing. We focus on the dynamics that occur when the wave packets pass through an area close to the crossing, and our main results provide an explicit formula for the outgoing wave packet in terms of the incoming one, with a complete description of its phase and of the classical trajectories it follows, including a drift.

A Volterra Calculus for Lie Groupoids

A pseudodifferential Volterra calculus for inverting parabolic differential equations on Lie groupoids is introduced. This enables the study of fundamental solutions of various cases of heat flows on singular manifolds with corners with non-resonant boundary indicial symbols, such as the $b$-manifolds, as well as other geometric bisection covariant heat flows. We also establish the short time asymptotic expansion for the heat kernel of a positive, elliptic differential operator on a Lie groupoid that acts on suitable Sobolev Hilbert modules and is positive definite with respect to the appropriate $L^2$ inner product.
