On the analyticity and Gevrey class regularity up to the boundary for the Euler Equations

We consider the Euler equations in a three-dimensional Gevrey-class bounded domain. Using Lagrangian coordinates we obtain the Gevrey-class persistence of the solution, up to the boundary, with an explicit estimate on the rate of decay of the Gevrey-class regularity radius

Hilbert Expansion from the Boltzmann equation to relativistic Fluids

We study the local-in-time hydrodynamic limit of the relativistic Boltzmann equation using a Hilbert expansion. More specifically, we prove the existence of local solutions to the relativistic Boltzmann equation that are nearby the local relativistic Maxwellian constructed from a class of solutions to the relativistic Euler equations that includes a large subclass of near-constant, non-vacuum fluid states. In particular, for small Knudsen number, these solutions to the relativistic Boltzmann equation have dynamics that are effectively captured by corresponding solutions to the relativistic Euler equations.Comment: 50 page

Blow-up of the hyperbolic Burgers equation

The memory effects on microscopic kinetic systems have been sometimes modelled by means of the introduction of second order time derivatives in the macroscopic hydrodynamic equations. One prototypical example is the hyperbolic modification of the Burgers equation, that has been introduced to clarify the interplay of hyperbolicity and nonlinear hydrodynamic evolution. Previous studies suggested the finite time blow-up of this equation, and here we present a rigorous proof of this fact

Semiclassical Propagation of Coherent States for the Hartree equation

In this paper we consider the nonlinear Hartree equation in presence of a given external potential, for an initial coherent state. Under suitable smoothness assumptions, we approximate the solution in terms of a time dependent coherent state, whose phase and amplitude can be determined by a classical flow. The error can be estimated in $L^2$ by C \sqrt {\var}, \var being the Planck constant. Finally we present a full formal asymptotic expansion

The analytic structure of 2D Euler flow at short times

Using a very high precision spectral calculation applied to the incompressible and inviscid flow with initial condition $\psi_0(x_1, x_2) = \cos x_1+\cos 2x_2$, we find that the width $\delta(t)$ of its analyticity strip follows a $\ln(1/t)$ law at short times over eight decades. The asymptotic equation governing the structure of spatial complex-space singularities at short times (Frisch, Matsumoto and Bec 2003, J.Stat.Phys. 113, 761--781) is solved by a high-precision expansion method. Strong numerical evidence is obtained that singularities have infinite vorticity and lie on a complex manifold which is constructed explicitly as an envelope of analyticity disks.Comment: 19 pages, 14 figures, published versio

On a stochastic partial differential equation with non-local diffusion

In this paper, we prove existence, uniqueness and regularity for a class of stochastic partial differential equations with a fractional Laplacian driven by a space-time white noise in dimension one. The equation we consider may also include a reaction term

Derivation of the Cubic Non-linear Schr\"odinger Equation from Quantum Dynamics of Many-Body Systems

We prove rigorously that the one-particle density matrix of three dimensional interacting Bose systems with a short-scale repulsive pair interaction converges to the solution of the cubic non-linear Schr\"odinger equation in a suitable scaling limit. The result is extended to $k$-particle density matrices for all positive integer $k$.Comment: 72 pages, 17 figures. Final versio

Internal Anisotropy of Collision Cascades

We investigate the internal anisotropy of collision cascades arising from the branching structure. We show that the global fractal dimension cannot give an adequate description of the geometrical structure of cascades because it is insensitive to the internal anisotropy. In order to give a more elaborate description we introduce an angular correlation function, which takes into account the direction of the local growth of the branches of the cascades. It is demonstrated that the angular correlation function gives a quantitative description of the directionality and the interrelation of branches. The power law decay of the angular correlation is evidenced and characterized by an exponent and an angular correlation length different from the radius of gyration. It is demonstrated that the overlapping of subcascades has a strong effect on the angular correlation.Comment: RevteX, 8 pages, 6 .eps figures include

A Note on the Regularity of Inviscid Shell Model of Turbulence

In this paper we continue the analytical study of the sabra shell model of energy turbulent cascade initiated in \cite{CLT05}. We prove the global existence of weak solutions of the inviscid sabra shell model, and show that these solutions are unique for some short interval of time. In addition, we prove that the solutions conserve the energy, provided that the components of the solution satisfy $|{u_n}| \le C k_n^{-1/3} (\sqrt{n} \log(n+1))^{-1}$, for some positive absolute constant $C$, which is the analogue of the Onsager's conjecture for the Euler's equations. Moreover, we give a Beal-Kato-Majda type criterion for the blow-up of solutions of the inviscid sabra shell model and show the global regularity of the solutions in the ``two-dimensional'' parameters regime

Resonance-free Region in scattering by a strictly convex obstacle

We prove the existence of a resonance free region in scattering by a strictly convex obstacle with the Robin boundary condition. More precisely, we show that the scattering resonances lie below a cubic curve which is the same as in the case of the Neumann boundary condition. This generalizes earlier results on cubic poles free regions obtained for the Dirichlet boundary condition.Comment: 29 pages, 2 figure
