The Euler-Maxwell two-fluid system in 3D

The fundamental "two-fluid" model for describing plasma dynamics is given by the Euler-Maxwell system, in which compressible ion and electron fluids interact with their own self-consistent electromagnetic field. We prove global stability of a constant neutral background, in the sense that irrotational, smooth and localized perturbations of a constant background with small amplitude lead to global smooth solutions in three space dimensions for the Euler-Maxwell system. Our construction applies equally well to other plasma models such as the Euler-Poisson system for two-fluids and a relativistic Euler-Maxwell system for two fluids. Our solutions appear to be the first nontrivial global smooth solutions in all of these models.

On the global well-posedness of energy-critical Schrödinger equations in curved spaces

In this paper we present a method to study global regularity properties of solutions of large-data critical Schrodinger equations on certain noncompact Riemannian manifolds. We rely on concentration compactness arguments and a global Morawetz inequality adapted to the geometry of the manifold (in other words we adapt the method of Kenig-Merle to the variable coefficient case), and a good understanding of the corresponding Euclidean problem (in our case the main theorem of Colliander-Keel-Staffilani-Takaoka-Tao). As an application we prove global well-posedness and scattering in $H^1$ for the energy-critical defocusing initial-value problem (i\partial_t+Δ_\g)u=u|u|^{4} on the hyperbolic space $H^3$.

Global Smooth Ion Dynamics in the Euler-Poisson System

A fundamental two-fluid model for describing dynamics of a plasma is the Euler-Poisson system, in which compressible ion and electron fluids interact with their self-consistent electrostatic force. Global smooth electron dynamics were constructed in Guo due to dispersive effect of the electric field. In this paper, we construct global smooth irrotational solutions with small amplitude for ion dynamics in the Euler-Poisson system.

The linear profile decomposition for the fourth order Schrödinger equation

In this paper, we establish the linear profile decomposition for the one dimensional fourth order Schrödinger equation $$ iu_t-μΔu+Δ^2u=0, t\in\mathbb{R}, x\in\mathbb{R}, u(0,x)=f(x)\in L^2, $$ where $μ\ge 0$. As an application, we establish a dichotomy result on the existence of extremals to the symmetric Schrödinger Strichartz inequality.

The mass-critical fourth-order Schrodinger equation in high dimensions

We prove global wellposedness and scattering for the Mass-critical homogeneous fourth-order Schrodinger equation in high dimensions n>4, for general L^2 initial data in the defocusing case, and for general initial data with Mass less than certain fraction of the Mass of the Ground State in the focusing case.

Scattering for the Beam equation in low dimensions

In this paper, we prove scattering for the defocusing Beam equation u_{tt}+D^2u+mu+ |u|^{p-1}u=0 in the energy space in low dimensions 1< n <5 for p>1+8/n. The main difficulty is the absence of a Morawetz-type estimate and of a Galilean transformation in order to be able to control the Momentum vector. We overcome the former by using a strategy of Kenig and Merle derived from concentration-compactness ideas, and the latter by considering a Virial-type identity in the direction orthogonal to the Momentum vector.

The cubic fourth-order Schrodinger equation

We investigate the cubic defocusing fourth order Schrödinger equation $iu_t + Δ^2u + |u|^2u=0$ in arbitrary space dimension $\mathbb{R}^n$ for arbitrary $H^2$ initial data. We prove that the equation is globally well-posed when $n \le 8$ and ill-posed when $n \ge 9$, with the additional important information that scattering holds true when $5 \le n \le 8$.
