A vector field method on the distorted Fourier side and decay for wave equations with potentials

We study the Cauchy problem for the one-dimensional wave equation

\partial_t^2 u(t,x)-\partial_x^2 u(t,x)+V(x)u(t,x)=0.

The potential

V

is assumed to be smooth with asymptotic behavior

V(x)\sim -\tfrac14 |x|^{-2}\mbox{ as } |x|\to \infty.

Codimension one stability of the catenoid under the vanishing mean curvature flow in Minkowski space

Joachim Krieger, Roland Donninger, Willie Wai Yeung Wong

We study time-like hypersurfaces with vanishing mean curvature in the (3+1) dimensional Minkowski space, which are the hyperbolic counterparts to minimal embeddings of Riemannian manifolds. The catenoid is a stationary solution of the associated Cauchy pro ...

Nondispersive Decay For The Cubic Wave Equation

Roland Donninger

We consider the hyperboloidal initial value problem for the cubic focusing wave equation (-partial derivative(2)(t) + Delta(x))nu(t, x) + nu(t, x)(3) = 0, x is an element of R-3 Without symmetry assumptions, we prove the existence of a codimension-4 Lipsch ...

Stable self-similar blowup in energy supercritical Yang-Mills theory

Roland Donninger

We consider the Cauchy problem for an energy supercritical nonlinear wave equation that arises in -dimensional Yang-Mills theory. A certain self-similar solution of this model is conjectured to act as an attractor for generic large data evolutions. Assumin ...

Nonscattering solutions and blowup at infinity for the critical wave equation

We consider the critical focusing wave equation (−∂2t+Δ)u+u5=0 in R1+3 and prove the existence of energy class solutions which are of the form u(t,x)=tμ2W(tμx)+η(t,x) in the forward lightcone {(t,x)∈R×R3:|x|≤t,t≫1} where W(x)=(1+13|x|2)−12 is the ground st ...
