Nonlinear Stability of 3D Muskat Bubbles

This paper studies the three-dimensional Muskat problem for two immiscible fluids in a porous medium subject to gravity and surface tension. We consider the setting in which one fluid forms a bounded bubble surrounded by the other. For any value of the physical parameters, we prove the global-in-time nonlinear asymptotic stability of a translating spherical bubble for small initial perturbations in the critical Lipschitz class. This enlarges the class of critical spaces considered in previous two-dimensional bubble results. The proof combines spectral analysis of the linearized operator on $\mathbb{S}^2$ with multilinear singular integral estimates that exploit a crucial null structure in the nonlinear terms.

On the global asymptotic stability for the 3D Peskin Problem at critical regularity

We prove global well-posedness and asymptotic stability for the three-dimensional Peskin problem, which models a closed, elastic membrane immersed in an incompressible Stokes fluid. We work with initial data in the optimal regularity space $W^{1,\infty}(\mathbb{S}^2)$, which may contain infinitely many corners. These initial configurations are instantly desingularized by the flow's parabolic smoothing effect, becoming smooth for all $t > 0$. Then we establish that the solutions converge exponentially in the $C^1$ topology to a translated and dilated conformal sphere. The stability is achieved by combining our nonlinear estimates with an exact structural decoupling of the 10-dimensional manifold of conformal steady states, demonstrating that the infinite-dimensional dissipative perturbation is strictly controlled. The core of our analysis is a functional framework on the sphere $\mathbb{S}^2$ that uses spectral Littlewood-Paley projections to control the highly singular multilinear operators arising from the fluid nonlinearity

Amplitude bounds of steady rotational water waves

We consider classical steady water waves with a free surface, a flat bottom and constant vorticity $γ$. In the adverse case $γ>0$ we prove that there is an absolute upper bound on the amplitude, independent of the physical constants, provided that $γ$ is sufficiently small. In any favorable case $γ\leq0$ we present a new proof of such an absolute bound on the amplitude and prove that the amplitude tends to zero as $γ$ tends to negative infinity.

Critical well-posedness for the 2D Peskin problem with general tension

In this paper, we study the two dimensional Peskin problem with general elasticity law. Specifically, we prove global regularity for small perturbations, in suitable critical spaces, of the circle solution, possibly containing corners. For such initial data we prove asymptotic stability in the sense that as $t\to\infty$, the solution converges to a translated and rotated disk.

Desingularization of small moving corners for the Muskat equation

In this paper, we investigate the dynamics of solutions of the Muskat equation with initial interface consisting of multiple corners allowing for linear growth at infinity. Specifically, we prove that if the initial data contains a finite set of small corners then we can find a precise description of the solution showing how these corners desingularize and move at the same time. At the analytical level, we are solving a small data critical problem which requires renormalization. This is accomplished using a nonlinear change of variables which serves as a logarithmic correction and accurately describes the motion of the corners during the evolution.

Global bifurcation for corotating and counter-rotating vortex pairs

The existence of a local curve of corotating and counter-rotating vortex pairs was proven by Hmidi and Mateu in via a desingularization of a pair of point vortices. In this paper, we construct a global continuation of these local curves. That is, we consider solutions which are more than a mere perturbation of a trivial solution. Indeed, while the local analysis relies on the study of the linear equation at the trivial solution, the global analysis requires on a deeper understanding of topological properties of the nonlinear problem. For our proof, we adapt the powerful analytic global bifurcation theorem due to Buffoni and Toland, to allow for the singularity at the bifurcation point. For both the corotating and the counter-rotating pairs, along the global curve of solutions either the angular fluid velocity vanishes or the two patches self-intersect.

Large-amplitude steady solitary water waves with constant vorticity

This paper considers two-dimensional steady solitary waves with constant vorticity propagating under the influence of gravity over an impermeable flat bed. Unlike in previous works on solitary waves, we allow for both internal stagnation points and overhanging wave profiles. Using analytic global bifurcation theory, we construct continuous curves of large-amplitude solutions. Along these curves, either the wave amplitude approaches the maximum possible value, the dimensionless wave speed becomes unbounded, or a singularity develops in a conformal map describing the fluid domain. We also show that an arbitrary solitary wave of elevation with constant vorticity must be supercritical. The existence proof relies on a novel reformulation of the problem as an elliptic system for two scalar functions in a fixed domain, one describing the conformal map of the fluid region and the other the flow beneath the wave.

Traveling water waves -- the ebb and flow of two centuries

This survey covers the mathematical theory of steady water waves with an emphasis on topics that are at the forefront of current research. These areas include: variational characterizations of traveling water waves; analytical and numerical studies of periodic waves with critical layers that may overhang; existence, nonexistence, and qualitative theory of solitary waves and fronts; traveling waves with localized vorticity or density stratification; and waves in three dimensions.
