Abstract

The Immersed Boundary Method has long served as a robust computational framework for fluid-structure interactions, yet the rigorous analysis of 1D Peskin filaments anchored to rigid boundaries remains sparse. In this paper, we generalize the classical Peskin problem to the half-plane by considering an elastic filament whose endpoints are anchored to a no-slip wall. Moving beyond the algebraic complexity of the traditional Blake image system, we utilize the boundary-symmetric formulation of Gimbutas, Greengard, and Veerapaneni. This representation allows for a transparent decomposition of the hydrodynamic interactions into a free space principal part and a regularizing reflected component without resorting to hypersingular integral operators. Through this framework, we prove that the leading-order evolution of the anchored filament is governed by a fractional Laplacian equipped with homogeneous Dirichlet boundary conditions. We characterize the stationary states of the system, proving that all equilibria are circular arcs connecting the anchor points, a result that holds for a broad class of elastic energy densities. By framing the non-local dynamics in weighted little Hölder spaces, we establish local well posedness and prove that the filament exhibits instantaneous $C^\infty$ regularization in both space and time. This work provides a rigorous analytical foundation for anchored filaments in bounded domains and suggests a spectrally accurate numerical path for simulating tethered biological structures.

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.
