Uncountably many non-rotationally symmetric type II ancient Yamabe flows on the sphere

For every $n \ge 3$, we construct uncountably many families of type II ancient solutions to the Yamabe flow on the unit round $n$-sphere $\Ss^n$. These families are pairwise distinct up to conformal equivalence, and no member is conformally equivalent to a rotationally symmetric solution. At every negative time, the Ricci curvature tensor of each solution is indefinite at some point. Moreover, the associated backward limit space is a wedge sum of finitely many isometric copies of $\Ss^n$. These examples show that the collection of ancient Yamabe flows on $\Ss^n$ has a much richer structure than suggested by two natural comparison problems: the compact ancient Ricci flows on $\Ss^2$, all of which are known to be rotationally symmetric, and the elliptic Yamabe equation on $\R^n$, whose positive entire solutions are only the standard bubbles. The construction uses a non-radial inner--outer gluing scheme. After stereographic projection, we reformulate the flow as a conformally invariant parabolic problem on $\R^n$. By exploiting Kelvin invariance and switching between the Euclidean and spherical formulations as needed, we control the non-radial modes directly without reducing the problem to one space dimension. Weighted H\"older estimates provide the pointwise control needed to establish the Type II behavior, the Ricci-sign property, conformal inequivalence, and the description of the backward limits in a straightforward manner.

Optical hopfions with arbitrary two winding numbers

Hopfions, as three-dimensional topologically nontrivial structures described by poloidal and toroidal winding numbers, hold promise as robust information carriers in spintronics, functional materials, and optical communications. Although they have been experimentally realized in various physical systems, such realizations have been restricted to low orders, with the winding numbers lacking tunability. Here, using optical fields as our platform, we outline how to make tunable hopfions in any order with any winding number. We use tailored superpositions of Laguerre-Gaussian modes in free-space as our construction, achieving effective control for arbitrary-order poloidal and toroidal winding numbers, which we demonstrate up to orders 5 and 3, respectively, for a new state-of-the-art. The resulting torus-knot structures are visualized experimentally via polarization filaments, confirming the designed topological textures. Our work reports an exotic optical topologies observed in free space, provides a systematic route hopfions of any order, with implications for topological photonics, optical communications, and analogies in magnetic and condensed-matter systems.

Sharp quantitative stability estimates for the Brezis-Nirenberg problem

We study the quantitative stability for the classical Brezis-Nirenberg problem associated with the critical Sobolev embedding $H^1_0(\Omega) \hookrightarrow L^{\frac{2n}{n-2}}(\Omega)$ in a smooth bounded domain $\Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^n$ ($n \geq 3$). To the best of our knowledge, this work presents the first quantitative stability result for the Sobolev inequality on bounded domains. A key discovery is the emergence of unexpected stability exponents in our estimates, which arise from the intricate interaction among the nonnegative solution $u_0$ and the linear term $\lambda u$ of the Brezis--Nirenberg equation, bubble formation, and the boundary effect of the domain $\Omega$. One of the main challenges is to capture the boundary effect quantitatively, a feature that fundamentally distinguishes our setting from the Euclidean case treated in \cite{CFM, FG, DSW} and the smooth closed manifold case studied in \cite{CK}. In addressing a variety of difficulties, our proof refines and streamlines several arguments from the existing literature while also resolving new analytical challenges specific to our setting.

Tailoring ultra-high-order optical skyrmions

Skyrmions, as quasiparticles with topological spin textures, has recently garnered great attention for both condensed matter and structured wave communities, promising next-generation large-density robust information technologies. However, a big challenge to this end is that the generation of high-order skyrmions is elusive in any physical systems. Here, we propose the method to create and control ultra-high-order skyrmions (skyrmion number up to $400^{th}$) in a structured light system. We also experimentally control the topological state transition between bimeron and skyrmion, arbitrarily tailor the transverse size of an arbitrary-order skyrmionic beam independent of topological number, and ensure the topological stability upon propagation. Our work offers solutions for topologically resilient communication and memory with much enhanced information capacity.

Sharp quantitative stability of the Yamabe problem

Given a smooth closed Riemannian manifold $(M,g)$ of dimension $N \ge 3$, we derive sharp quantitative stability estimates for nonnegative functions near the solution set of the Yamabe problem on $(M,g)$. The seminal work of Struwe (1984) \cite{S} states that if $Γ(u) := \|Δ_g u - \frac{N-2}{4(N-1)} R_g u + u^{\frac{N+2}{N-2}}\|_{H^{-1}(M)} \to 0$, then $\|u-(u_0+\sum_{i=1}^ν \mathcal{V}_i)\|_{H^1(M)} \to 0$ where $u_0$ is a solution to the Yamabe problem on $(M,g)$, $ν\in \mathbb{N} \cup \{0\}$, and $\mathcal{V}_i$ is a bubble-like function. If $M$ is the round sphere $\mathbb{S}^N$, then $u_0 \equiv 0$ and a natural candidate of $\mathcal{V}_i$ is a bubble itself. If $M$ is not conformally equivalent to $\mathbb{S}^N$, then either $u_0 > 0$ or $u_0 \equiv 0$, there is no canonical choice of $\mathcal{V}_i$, and so a careful selection of $\mathcal{V}_i$ must be made to attain optimal estimates. For $3 \le N \le 5$, we construct suitable $\mathcal{V}_i$'s and then establish the inequality $\|u-(u_0+\sum_{i=1}^ν \mathcal{V}_i)\|_{H^1(M)}$ $ \le Cζ(Γ(u))$ where $C > 0$ and $ζ(t) = t$, consistent with the result of Figalli and Glaudo (2020) \cite{FG} on $\mathbb{S}^N$. In the case of $N \ge 6$, we investigate the single-bubbling phenomenon $(ν= 1)$ on generic Riemannian manifolds $(M,g)$, proving that $ζ(t)$ is determined by $N$, $u_0$, and $g$, and can be much larger than $t$. This exhibits a striking difference from the result of Ciraolo, Figalli, and Maggi (2018) \cite{CFM} on $\mathbb{S}^N$. All of the estimates presented herein are optimal.

Existence and multiplicity of peaked bound states for nonlinear Schrödinger equations on metric graphs

We establish existence and multiplicity of one-peaked and multi-peaked positive bound states for nonlinear Schrödinger equations on general compact and noncompact metric graphs. Precisely, we construct solutions concentrating at every vertex of odd degree greater than or equal to $3$. We show that these solutions are not minimizers of the associated action and energy functionals. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first work exhibiting solutions concentrating at vertices with degree different than $1$. The proof is based on a suitable Ljapunov-Schmidt reduction.

The multiplexed light storage of Orbital Angular Momentum based on atomic ensembles

The improvement of the multi-mode capability of quantum memory can further improve the utilization efficiency of the quantum memory and reduce the requirement of quantum communication for storage units. In this letter, we experimentally investigate the multi-mode light multiplexing storage of orbital angular momentum (OAM) mode based on rubidium vapor, and demultiplexing by a photonic OAM mode splitter which combines a Sagnac loop with two dove prisms. Our results show a mode extinction ratio higher than 80$\%$ at 1 $μ$s of storage time. Meanwhile, two OAM modes have been multiplexing stored and demultiplexed in our experimental configuration. We believe the experimental scheme may provide a possibility for high channel capacity and multi-mode quantum multiplexed quantum storage based on atomic ensembles.

Segregated solutions for a critical elliptic system with a small interspecies repulsive force

We consider the elliptic system $$-Δu_i = u_i^3+\sum\limits_{j=1\atop j\not=i}^{q+1}{ β_{ij}}u_i u_j^2\ \hbox{in}\ \mathbb R^4, \ i=1,\dots,q+1.$$ when $α:=β_{ij}$ and $β:=β_{i(q+1)}=β_{(q+1)j}$ for any $i,j=1,\dots,q.$ If $β<0$ and $|β|$ is small enough we build solutions such that each component $u_{1},\dots,u_q$ blows-up at the vertices of $q$ polygons placed in different great circles which are linked to each other, and the last component $u_{q+1}$ looks like the radial positive solution of the single equation.

New type of solutions for the nonlinear Schrödinger-Newton system

The nonlinear Schrödinger-Newton system \begin{equation*} \begin{cases} Δu- V(|x|)u + Ψu=0, &~x\in\mathbb{R}^3,\\ ΔΨ+\frac12 u^2=0, &~x\in\mathbb{R}^3, \end{cases} \end{equation*} is a nonlinear system obtained by coupling the linear Schrödinger equation of quantum mechanics with the gravitation law of Newtonian mechanics. Wei and Yan in (Calc. Var. Partial Differential Equations 37 (2010),423--439) proved that the Schrödinger equation has infinitely many positive solutions in $\mathbb{R}^N$ and these solutions have polygonal symmetry in the $(y_{1}, y_{2})$ plane and they are radially symmetric in the other variables. Duan et al. in (arXiv:2006.16125v1) extended the results got by Wei and Yan and these solutions have polygonal symmetry in the $(y_{1}, y_{2})$ plane and they are even in $y_{2}$with one more more parameter in the expression of the solutions.Hu et al. Under the appropriate assumption on the potential function V, Hu et al. in (arXiv: 2106.04288v1) constructed infinitely many non-radial positive solutions for the Schrödinger-Newton system and these positive solutions have polygonal symmetry in the $(y_{1}, y_{2})$ plane and they are even in $y_{2}$ and $y_{3}$. Assuming that $V(r)$ has the following character \begin{equation*} V(r)=V_{1}+\frac{b}{r^q}+O\Big(\frac{1}{r^{q+σ}}\Big),~\mbox{ as } r\rightarrow\infty, \end{equation*} Where $\frac12\leq q<1$ and $b, V_{1}, σ$ are some positive constants, $V(y)\geq V_1>0$, we construct infinitely many non-radial positive solutions which have polygonal symmetry in the $(y_{1}, y_{2})$ plane and are even in $y_{2}$ for the Schrödinger-Newton system by the Lyapunov-Schmidt reduction method. We extend the results got by Duan et al. in (arXiv:2006.16125v1) to the nonlinear Schrödinger-Newton system.

We find that edge states will no appear for strained Lieb lattices and $\mathcal{PT}$-symmetry Lieb lattice cannot be obtained.

Two-dimensional linear and nonlinear Talbot effect from rogue waves

We introduce two-dimensional (2D) linear and nonlinear Talbot effects. They are produced by propagating periodic 2D diffraction patterns and can be visualized as 3D stacks of Talbot carpets. The nonlinear Talbot effect originates from 2D rogue waves and forms in a bulk 3D nonlinear medium. The recurrences of an input rogue wave are observed at the Talbot length and at the half-Talbot length, with a πphase shift; no other recurrences are observed. Different from the nonlinear Talbot effect, the linear effect displays the usual fractional Talbot images as well. We also find that the smaller the period of incident rogue waves, the shorter the Talbot length. Increasing the beam intensity increases the Talbot length, but above a threshold this leads to a catastrophic self-focusing phenomenon which destroys the effect. We also find that the Talbot recurrence can be viewed as a self-Fourier transform of the initial periodic beam that is automatically performed during propagation. In particular, linear Talbot effect can be viewed as a fractional self-Fourier transform, whereas the nonlinear Talbot effect can be viewed as the regular self-Fourier transform. Numerical simulations demonstrate that the rogue wave initial condition is sufficient but not necessary for the observation of the effect. It may also be observed from other periodic inputs, provided they are set on a finite background. The 2D effect may find utility in the production of 3D photonic crystals.

Interactions of incoherent localized beams in a photorefractive medium

We investigate numerically interactions between two bright or dark incoherent localized beams in an strontium barium niobate photorefractive crystal in one dimension, using the coherent density method. For the case of bright beams, if the interacting beams are in-phase, they attract each other during propagation and form bound breathers; if out-of-phase, the beams repel each other and fly away. The bright incoherent beams do not radiate much and form long-lived well-defined breathers or quasi-stable solitons. If the phase difference is $π/2$, the interacting beams may both attract or repel each other, depending on the interval between the two beams, the beam widths, and the degree of coherence. For the case of dark incoherent beams, in addition to the above the interactions also depend on the symmetry of the incident beams. As already known, an even-symmetric incident beam tends to split into a doublet, whereas an odd-symmetric incident beam tends to split into a triplet. When launched in pairs, the dark beams display dynamics consistent with such a picture and in general obey soliton-like conservation laws, so that the collisions are mostly elastic, leading to little energy and momentum exchange. But they also radiate and breathe while propagating. In all the cases, the smaller the interval between the two interacting beams, the stronger the mutual interaction. On the other hand, the larger the degree of incoherence, the weaker the interaction.

Three-dimensional nonparaxial accelerating beams from the transverse Whittaker integral

We investigate three-dimensional nonparaxial linear accelerating beams arising from the transverse Whittaker integral. They include different Mathieu, Weber, and Fresnel beams, among other. These beams accelerate along a semicircular trajectory, with almost invariant nondiffracting shapes. The transverse patterns of accelerating beams are determined by their angular spectra, which are constructed from the Mathieu functions, Weber functions, and Fresnel integrals. Our results not only enrich the understanding of multidimensional nonparaxial accelerating beams, but also display their real applicative potential -- owing to the usefulness of Mathieu and Weber functions, and Fresnel integrals in describing a wealth of wave phenomena in nature.

Interactions of Airy beams, nonlinear accelerating beams, and induced solitons in Kerr and saturable nonlinear media

We investigate numerically interactions between two in-phase or out-of-phase Airy beams and nonlinear accelerating beams in Kerr and saturable nonlinear media in one transverse dimension. We discuss different cases in which the beams with different intensities are launched into the medium, but accelerate in opposite directions. Since both the Airy beams and nonlinear accelerating beams possess infinite oscillating tails, we discuss interactions between truncated beams, with finite energies. During interactions we see solitons and soliton pairs generated that are not accelerating. In general, the higher the intensities of interacting beams, the easier to form solitons; when the intensities are small enough, no solitons are generated. Upon adjusting the interval between the launched beams, their interaction exhibits different properties. If the interval is large relative to the width of the first lobes, the generated soliton pairs just propagate individually and do not interact much. However, if the interval is comparable to the widths of the maximum lobes, the pairs strongly interact and display varied behavior.

The Nonlinear Talbot Effect of Rogue Waves

Akhmediev and Kuznetsov-Ma breathers are rogue wave solutions of the nonlinear Schrödinger equation (NLSE). Talbot effect (TE) is an image recurrence phenomenon in the diffraction of light waves. We report the nonlinear TE of rogue waves in a cubic medium. It is different from the linear TE, in that the wave propagates in a NL medium and is an eigenmode of NLSE. Periodic rogue waves impinging on a NL medium exhibit recurrent behavior, but only at the TE length and at the half-TE length with a π-phase shift; the fractional TE is absent. The NL TE is the result of the NL interference of the lobes of rogue wave breathers. This interaction is related to the transverse period and intensity of breathers, in that the bigger the period and the higher the intensity, the shorter the TE length.
