Global dynamics of a supercritical wave equation in a large data regime

We prove the existence of global solutions to the nonlinear wave equation in $\mathbb{R}^{1+3}$ $$Φ_{tt} - ΔΦ\pm Φ|Φ|^{p-1} = 0$$ in the energy-supercritical regime $p>5$, for a class of large initial data. Our initial data can be decomposed into two pieces, one which is dispersed in the sense of having large $L^2$ norm, while the other piece takes a localised short-pulse form. Consequently, we can obtain global existence for a class of initial data which is large in every homogeneous Sobolev norm $\dot{H}^s_x$ with $s \geq 0$.

Generically sharp decay and blowing up at infinity for a weak null wave system

We study a system of semilinear wave equations satisfying the weak null condition, which can be regarded as a simplified model for the Einstein vacuum equations. The main objective is to establish precise pointwise decay estimates, as both lower and upper bounds of decay, for small data solutions. Specifically, we show that the difference between the solution and its leading-order term is dominated by lower-order terms that decay faster in the retarded time variable $u=t-r$. Moreover, we prove that these pointwise decay estimates are sharp for a generic class of small initial data decaying sufficiently fast. As applications of these estimates, we demonstrate that the energy of one component of the solution admits a lower bound that generically grows to infinity as $t\to +\infty$, which can be interpreted as ``blowing up at infinity." Furthermore, we verify that this component generically exhibits an energy cascade from high to low frequencies.

Can Visual Input Be Compressed? A Visual Token Compression Benchmark for Large Multimodal Models

Large multimodal models (LMMs) often suffer from severe inference inefficiency due to the large number of visual tokens introduced by image encoders. While recent token compression methods, such as pruning and merging, have shown promise in reducing redundancy, their evaluation remains fragmented and inconsistent. In this work, we present UniPruneBench, a unified and extensible benchmark for visual token pruning in multimodal LLMs. UniPruneBench provides standardized protocols across six ability dimensions and ten datasets, covering ten representative compression algorithms and three families of LMMs (LLaVA-v1.5, Intern-VL3, and Qwen2.5-VL). Beyond task accuracy, it incorporates system-level metrics such as runtime and prefilling latency to provide a holistic view. Our experiments uncover several key findings: (1) random pruning is a surprisingly strong baseline, (2) no single method consistently outperforms others across scenarios, (3) pruning sensitivity varies significantly across tasks, with OCR being most vulnerable, and (4) pruning ratio is the dominant factor governing performance degradation. We believe UniPruneBench will serve as a reliable foundation for future research on efficient multimodal modeling.

MARS2 2025 Challenge on Multimodal Reasoning: Datasets, Methods, Results, Discussion, and Outlook

This paper reviews the MARS2 2025 Challenge on Multimodal Reasoning. We aim to bring together different approaches in multimodal machine learning and LLMs via a large benchmark. We hope it better allows researchers to follow the state-of-the-art in this very dynamic area. Meanwhile, a growing number of testbeds have boosted the evolution of general-purpose large language models. Thus, this year's MARS2 focuses on real-world and specialized scenarios to broaden the multimodal reasoning applications of MLLMs. Our organizing team released two tailored datasets Lens and AdsQA as test sets, which support general reasoning in 12 daily scenarios and domain-specific reasoning in advertisement videos, respectively. We evaluated 40+ baselines that include both generalist MLLMs and task-specific models, and opened up three competition tracks, i.e., Visual Grounding in Real-world Scenarios (VG-RS), Visual Question Answering with Spatial Awareness (VQA-SA), and Visual Reasoning in Creative Advertisement Videos (VR-Ads). Finally, 76 teams from the renowned academic and industrial institutions have registered and 40+ valid submissions (out of 1200+) have been included in our ranking lists. Our datasets, code sets (40+ baselines and 15+ participants' methods), and rankings are publicly available on the MARS2 workshop website and our GitHub organization page https://github.com/mars2workshop/, where our updates and announcements of upcoming events will be continuously provided.

Scattering for the Klein-Gordon-Zakharov system in two dimensions

We study the Klein-Gordon-Zakharov system in two spatial dimensions, an important model in plasma physics. For small, smooth, and spatially localized initial data, we establish the global existence of solutions and characterize their sharp long-time behavior, including sharp time decay and scattering properties. A particularly interesting phenomenon is that the Klein-Gordon component exhibits modified scattering for certain initial data, while for others it undergoes linear scattering-a dichotomy highlighting delicate long-range interaction effects. The major obstacles are lack of symmetry and weak decay of the solution in two dimensions. To overcome these, we introduce a novel nonlinear transformation of the wave component and reinterpret the nonlinear coupling as a perturbation of the mass term in the Klein-Gordon equation. The proof employs a combination of physical space and frequency space methods.

Global smooth solutions to 2D semilinear wave equations with large data

We are interested in coupled semi-linear wave equations satisfying the null condition in two space dimensions, a basic model in nonlinear wave equations. Our aim is to establish global existence of smooth solutions to this system with large initial data of short pulse type. Major difficulties arise due to the largeness of initial data and the slow decay nature of 2D wave equations. To overcome the difficulties, by careful examination of the local solutions, we adapt various vector-field methods to different spacetime regions with several novel weighted energy estimates.

Large data global existence for coupled massive-massless wave-type systems

We consider 3D Klein-Gordon-Zakharov (KGZ) and Dirac-Klein-Gordon (DKG) systems, where a common feature is that there exist both massless and massive fields in each system. We establish global existence and asymptotic behavior for both systems with a class of large data. More precisely, in the KGZ system, we allow the massless field to be large, while in the DKG system we allow the massive field to be large.

Cubic Dirac equations with a class of large data

We are interested in massless cubic Dirac equations in two and three space dimensions, known as the Soler model. The solution to this model is known as a wave function, which has the unit $L^2$ norm. We aim to show global existence and asymptotic behavior for the cubic Dirac model with a class of initial data that can be large in $L^2$.

Stability of some two dimensional wave maps: a wave--Klein-Gordon model

We are interested in the stability of a class of totally geodesic wave maps, as recently studied by Abbrescia and Chen, and later by Duan and Ma. The relevant equations of motion are a system of coupled semilinear wave and Klein-Gordon equations in $\mathbb{R}^{1+n}$ whose nonlinearities are critical when $n=2$. In this paper we use a pure energy method to show global existence when $n=2$. By carefully examining the structure of the nonlinear terms, we are able to obtain uniform energy bounds at lower orders. This allows us to prove pointwise decay estimates and also to reduce the required regularity.

Asymptotic stability for the Dirac--Klein-Gordon system in two space dimensions

We study the Dirac--Klein-Gordon system in $1+2$ spacetime dimensions. We show global existence of the solutions, as well as sharp time decay and linear scattering. One key advance is that we provide the first asymptotic stability result for the Dirac--Klein-Gordon system in $1+2$ spacetime dimensions in the case of a massive Klein-Gordon field and a massless Dirac field. The nonlinearities are below-critical in two spatial dimensions, and so our method requires the identification of special structures within the system and novel weighted energy estimates. Another key advance, is that our proof allows us to weaken certain conditions on the nonlinear structures that have been assumed in the literature.

Generically sharp decay for quasilinear wave equations with null condition

We are interested in the three-dimensional quasilinear wave equations with null condition. Global existence and pointwise decay for this model have been proved in the celebrated works of Klainerman \cite{Klainerman86} and Christodoulou \cite{Christodoulou86} for small smooth initial data. In this work, we illustrate the precise pointwise asymptotic behavior of the solutions for initial data posed on a hyperboloid and show that the decay rate $v^{-1}u^{-1}$ is optimal for a generic set of initial data.

Global solution to the 3D Dirac--Klein-Gordon system with uniform energy bounds

On the (1+3) dimensional Minkowski spacetime, for small, regular initial data, it is well-known that the Dirac-Klein-Gordon system admits a global solution. In the present paper, we aim to establish the uniform boundedness of the total energy of the solution for this system. The proof relies on Klainerman's vector field and Alinhac's ghost weight methods. The main difficulty originates from the slow decay nature of the Dirac and wave components in three space dimensions. To overcome the difficulty, a sharp understanding of the structure for this system, and a new weighted conformal energy estimate are required. In addition, we also provide a few scattering results for the system.

Two dimensional wave--Klein-Gordon equations with semilinear nonlinearities

From the work on the weak-null condition by Lindblad and Rodnianski, it is well-known that `bad' quadratic sourcing terms are allowed to appear in coupled semilinear wave equations in three spatial dimensions, provided that such terms appear as sources for `good' variables and that the good variables feed back into the system via `good' sourcing terms. Motivated by these ideas, in this paper we investigate the small data global existence and pointwise decay of solutions to two systems of coupled wave--Klein-Gordon equations in two spatial dimensions. In particular, we consider critical semilinear nonlinearities for the wave equation and below-critical semilinear nonlinearities for the Klein-Gordon equation. An interesting feature of our two systems is that if the nonlinearities of our PDEs were to be swapped, the nonlinear term in the wave equation would lead to finite-time blow-up.

Global Behavior of Small Data Solutions for The 2D Dirac-Klein-Gordon Equations

In this paper, we are interested in the two-dimensional Dirac-Klein-Gordon system, which is a basic model in particle physics. We investigate the global behaviors of small data solutions to this system in the case of a massive scalar field and a massless Dirac field. More precisely, our main result is twofold: 1) we show sharp time decay for the pointwise estimates of the solutions which imply the asymptotic stability of this system; 2) we show the linear scattering result of this system which is a fundamental problem when it is viewed as dispersive equations. Our result is valid for general small, high-regular initial data, in particular, there is no restriction on the support of the initial data.

Asymptotic behavior of 2D Wave-Klein-Gordon coupled system under null condition

We study the 2D coupled wave-Klein-Gordon systems with semi-linear null nonlinearities $Q_0$ and $Q_{αβ}$. The main result states that the solution to the 2D coupled systems exists globally provided that the initial data are small in some weighted Sobolev space, which do not necessarily have compact support, and we also show the optimal time decay of the solution. The major difficulties lie in the slow decay nature of the wave and the Klein-Gordon components in two space dimensions, in addition, extra difficulties arise due to the presence of the null form $Q_0$ which is not of divergence form and is not compatible with the Klein-Gordon equations. To overcome the difficulties, a new observation for the structure of the null form $Q_0$ is required.

Global solution to the cubic Dirac equation in two space dimensions

We are interested in the cubic Dirac equation with mass $m \in [0, 1]$ in two space dimensions, which is also known as the Soler model. We conduct a thorough study on this model with initial data sufficiently small in high regularity Sobolev spaces. First, we show the global existence of the model, which is uniform-in-mass. In addition, we derive a unified pointwise decay result valid for all $m \in [0, 1]$. Last but not least, we prove the cubic Dirac equations scatter linearly with an explicit scattering speed. When the mass $m=0$, we can show an improved pointwise decay result.

Global Existence and Scattering of the Klein-Gordon-Zakharov System in Two Space Dimensions

We are interested in the Klein-Gordon-Zakharov system in $\mathbb{R}^{1+2}$, which is an important model in plasma physics with extensive mathematical studies. The system can be regarded as semilinear coupled wave and Klein-Gordon equations with nonlinearities violating the null conditions. Without the compactness assumptions on the initial data, we aim to establish the existence of small global solutions, and in addition, we want to illustrate the optimal pointwise decay of the solutions. Furthermore, we show that the Klein-Gordon part of the system enjoys linear scattering while the wave part has uniformly bounded low-order energy. None of these goals is easy because of the slow pointwise decay nature of the linear wave and Klein-Gordon components in $\mathbb{R}^{1+2}$. We tackle the difficulties by carefully exploiting the properties of the wave and the Klein-Gordon components, and by relying on the ghost weight energy estimates to close higher-order energy estimates. This appears to be the first pointwise decay result and the first scattering result for the Klein-Gordon-Zakharov system in $\mathbb{R}^{1+2}$ without compactness assumptions.

The top-order energy of quasilinear wave equations in two space dimensions is uniformly bounded

Alinhac solved a long-standing open problem in 2001 and established that quasilinear wave equations in two space dimensions with quadratic null nonlinearities admit global-in-time solutions, provided that the initial data are compactly supported and sufficiently small in Sobolev norm. In this work, Alinhac obtained an upper bound with polynomial growth in time for the top-order energy of the solutions. A natural question then arises whether the time-growth is a true phenomena, despite the possible conservation of basic energy. Analogous problems are also of central importance for Schrödinger equations and the incompressible Euler equations in two space dimensions, as studied by Bourgain, Colliander-Keel-Staffilani-Takaoka-Tao, Kiselev-Sverak, and others. In the present paper, we establish that the top-order energy of the solutions in Alinhac theorem remains globally bounded in time, which is opposite to Alinhac's blowup-at-infinity conjecture.
