Abstract

We prove that every bounded stable entire solution $v$ of the Allen--Cahn equation in $\R^3$ is one-dimensional. As a consequence, the full De Giorgi conjecture in $\mathbb{R}^4$ is true. We also obtain local curvature estimates for stable solutions. The proof strategy is inspired by the recent breakthrough work of Chan, Fernández-Real, Figalli and Serra [J. Amer. Math. Soc. 2026], by reducing the stabilty condition for the Allen-Cahn equation to a weak stability condition on a surface (the zero set) and then utilizing Gauss-Bonnet formula. For this purpose, we first use the stability condition to get a sublinear bound for a weighted integral that controls the zeros where the solution is far from planar. If such zeros exist, we isolate a bounded set of them and join $1-v^2$ near this set to derivatives of one-dimensional transitions farther away. By controlling the interaction between these transitions, we derive the weak stability condition on the zero set, which is then used to bound a weighted integral of the squared curvature on the regular part of the zero set by a cutoff gradient integral and a controlled error. We use this inequality to bound the intrinsic area and construct logarithmic cutoffs. The resulting compactly supported test function has a negative contribution near this set that exceeds all joining and cutoff errors, contradicting stability.

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.
