Abstract

We revisit the homogeneous and inhomogeneous Dirichlet problem for the Laplacian on Lipschitz domains. This is motivated by the recent postings by Amrouche and Moussaoui which purport to contradict known area integral estimates of Dahlberg and known Sobolev space estimates of Jerison and Kenig. We explain the fatal gap in the reasoning in these postings and give a self-contained proof of a special case of the results of Dahlberg. We then show that this is sufficient to disprove the central conclusions of these postings. We also provide two further proofs of the results of Dahlberg, adapted from work of Kenig and of Dahlberg-Kenig-Pipher-Verchota. Other proofs are in the original paper by Dahlberg and in work by Fabes-Mendez-Mitrea.

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.
