Abstract

This work investigates time-harmonic electromagnetic scattering governed by the Maxwell system, where bounded anisotropic scatterers are embedded in a homogeneous electromagnetic background. We focus on the localized enhancement of the gradients of the total electric and magnetic fields in small boundary-attached neighborhoods of finitely many prescribed points near boundaries of anisotropic electromagnetic scatterers. We show that, through a suitable construction of incident electromagnetic waves, the gradients of both the total electric field and the total magnetic field can be made arbitrarily large in these neighborhoods. The main strategy is based on the introduction of auxiliary boundary-attached electromagnetic neighborhoods and the associated electric and magnetic fields, which exhibit strong gradient variation near the prescribed points. Using the approximation property of Maxwell Herglotz wave functions, these auxiliary fields are then approximated by physically admissible incident waves in the neighborhood of the scatterers. Together with the well-posedness and continuous dependence of the anisotropic scattering problem, this implies that the corresponding scattered field can be controlled to be sufficiently weak in the relevant region. Consequently, the total field is dominated by the incident field near the prescribed points and inherits its large-gradient behavior. The result provides a theoretical mechanism for localized gradient enhancement in anisotropic electromagnetic scattering and may have implications for field concentration, high-resolution probing, and sensitivity analysis of electromagnetic responses in complex media.

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.
