Global dynamics for the 1d quartic Klein-Gordon equation with an internal mode

We study a one dimensional nonlinear Klein-Gordon equation with a potential, a localized quadratic nonlinearity, and a non-localized quartic nonlinearity. We assume that the linearized operator has a single discrete eigenvalue below the continuous spectrum, corresponding to an ''internal mode''. This eigenvalue generates localized, time-periodic solutions for the linear equation. Assuming the natural Fermi Golden Rule, we give a global description of the dynamics of the amplitude of the internal mode through the radiation damping mechanism, and prove scattering for the radiation. Our approach is based on the distorted Fourier transform and a collection of refined dispersive decay and smoothing estimates. The corresponding cubic problem is closely related to the question of global-in-space dispersive asymptotics for perturbations of kink solutions in the classical $ϕ^4$ model, which remains a challenging open question. From the perspective of nonlinear estimates, a quartic (non-localized) interaction is essentially sharp for our analysis, and closing the estimates with such a low degree nonlinear term requires a careful and delicate treatment. As a direct application of our analysis, we prove a result on the asymptotic stability of kinks for classes of scalar field models that can be seen as perturbations of the $ϕ^4$ model.

Strongly nonlinear Robin problems for harmonic and polyharmonic functions in the half-space

Existence and global regularity results for boundary-value problems of Robin type for harmonic and polyharmonic functions in $n$-dimensional half-spaces are offered. The Robin condition on the normal derivative on the boundary of the half-space is prescribed by a nonlinear function $\mathcal N$ of the relevant harmonic or polyharmonic functions. General Orlicz type growths for the function $\mathcal N$ are considered. For instance, functions $\mathcal N$ of classical power type, their perturbations by logarithmic factors, and exponential functions are allowed. New sharp boundedness properties in Orlicz spaces of some classical operators from harmonic analysis, of independent interest, are critical for our approach.

Existence and regularity of steady-state solutions of the Navier-Stokes equations arising from irregular data

We analyze the forced incompressible stationary Navier-Stokes flow in $\mathbb{R}^n_+$, $n>2$. Existence of a unique solution satisfying a global integrabilty property measured in a scale of tent spaces is established for small data in homogenous Sobolev space with $s=-\frac{1}{2}$ degree of smoothness. Moreover, the velocity field is shown to be locally Hölder continuous while the pressure belongs to $L^p_{loc}$ for any $p\in (1,\infty)$. Our approach is based on the analysis of the inhomogeneous Stokes system for which we derive a new solvability result involving Dirichlet data in Triebel-Lizorkin classes with negative amount of smoothness and is of independent interest.
