Satellite-based emissions estimate indicates progress toward China's methane mitigation goals

China emits the most methane of any country worldwide, but there are large uncertainties in recent emissions trends, sources, and the potential impacts of policy actions. This study focuses on a period when the government initiated ambitious methane control efforts, linking sectoral policies with atmospheric evidence on sectoral, sub-national, and seasonal emissions during 2019--2024. We quantify daily methane emissions from China using a regional atmospheric inverse model with TROPOMI satellite observations. Our results reveal an average methane emissions increase rate of 0.3 Tg yr$^{-2}$ in Eastern & Central China, likely a milder trend than in the 2010s. Coal industry methane emissions intensity declined for the first time (-3.2% yr$^{-1}$) despite rising production, possibly associated with diverse policy instruments, mandates, and incentives. We further highlight two emerging challenges for future mitigation: leaks from expanding urban gas use amid the energy transition and rising agricultural emission yet with substantial uncertainty in estimates. Lastly, declining emissions intensity of coal mines points to the future role of targeted mandates and incentives in encouraging methane reduction for other sectors.

Geometry-Conditioned Fourier Neural Operators for Cubic Nonlinear Schrodinger Dynamics on Periodic Domains

We consider the cubic nonlinear Schr\"odinger (NLS) equation on two-dimensional flat tori with varying aspect ratios. In this formulation, the choice of aspect ratio governs the Fourier resonance structure, so rational and irrational geometries can exhibit different high-frequency cascade behaviors. We present a geometry-conditioned Fourier neural operator (FNO) for the cubic defocusing NLS equation, where the input consists of the real and imaginary parts of the solution together with the aspect-ratio parameter \(\omega^2\). The model is trained to approximate the one-step solution operator and is evaluated on unseen trajectories generated from random-phase initial data using Fourier pseudospectral method. Our numerical experiments show that the learned operator captures the main solution dynamics on both tori and reproduces the distinct Sobolev norm behavior of the two geometries, with stronger \(H^2\)-growth on the rational torus and more constrained behavior on the irrational torus, consistent with the findings of \cite{hrabski2021energy}. We perform ablation studies to examine the roles of retained Fourier modes, activation functions, Fourier-layer depth, and explicit geometry conditioning. The results indicate that including $\omega^2$ improves long-time predictive accuracy, especially for the rational geometry, and supports the use of geometry-aware neural operators for learning spectral-transfer phenomena in nonlinear dispersive partial differential equations.

Nonlinear Schr\"odinger equation with Ornstein-Uhlenbeck operator

In this work, we introduce and study nonlinear Schr\"odinger equations (NLS) with anisotropic dispersion, where the standard Laplacian acts on the Euclidean variable \(x \in \mathbb{R}^d\), and an Ornstein-Uhlenbeck ($\mathcal{OU}$) operator governs the confined direction \(\alpha \in \mathbb{R}\). We consider models with two natural variants of $\mathcal{OU}$-induced confinement: (Model Div) based on the divergence form \(\nabla_\alpha \cdot (e^{-\frac{\alpha^2}{2}} \nabla_\alpha)\), and (Model Non-Div) based on the non-divergence form \(\Delta_\alpha - \alpha \cdot \nabla_\alpha\). For both models, we establish the Strichartz estimates and Gaussian-weighted Morawetz estimates. In addition, for (Model Div), we prove a virial-type finite-time blow-up result; for (Model Non-Div), we establish global well-posedness and small data scattering in the 2D quintic and 3D cubic cases. The primary motivation of this work is to capture waveguide-type dispersive behavior in a Euclidean setting. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first rigorous analysis of NLS with $\mathcal{OU}$ operators in both divergence and non-divergence forms.

Uniform periodic counterexamples to Carleson's convergence problem with polynomial symbols

In Carleson's convergence problem for dispersive equations $i\, \partial_t u + P(D)u=0$ in the periodic setting $\mathbb T^d$, we prove that the Sobolev exponent $d/(2(d+1))$ is necessary for any non-singular polynomial symbol $P$, including the natural powers of the Laplacian $\Delta^k$. This is in contrast with the results known in the Euclidean case, in which for symbols $P(\xi) = |\xi|^a$ with $a > 1$ the exponent $d/(2(d+1))$ is sufficient, but we do not know if it is necessary.

Global well-posedness and scattering for the defocusing septic one-dimensional NLS via new smoothing and almost Morawetz estimates

In this paper, we show that the one dimensional septic nonlinear Schr\"odinger equation is globally well-posed and scatters in $H^s (\mathbb{R})$ when $s > 19/54$. We prove new smoothing estimates on the nonlinear Duhamel part of the solution and utilize a linear-nonlinear decomposition to take advantage of the gained regularity. We also prove new $L^{p+3}_{t,x}$ almost Morawetz estimates for the defocusing $p-$NLS adapted to the low-regularity setting, before specializing to the septic case $p=7$.

On Strichartz estimates for many-body Schr\"odinger equation in the periodic setting

In this paper, we prove Strichartz estimates for many body Schr\"odinger equations in the periodic setting, specifically on tori $\mathbb{T}^d$, where $d\geq 3$. The results hold for both rational and irrational tori, and for small interacting potentials in a certain sense. Our work is based on the standard Strichartz estimate for Schr\"odinger operators on periodic domains, as developed in Bourgain-Demeter \cite{BD}. As a comparison, this result can be regarded as a periodic analogue of Hong \cite{hong2017strichartz} though we do not use the same perturbation method. We also note that the perturbation method fails due to the derivative loss property of the periodic Strichartz estimate.

On recovering the nonlinearity for generalized higher-order Schr\"odinger equations

In this note, we generalize the nonlinearity-recovery result in [7] for classical cubic nonlinear Schr\"odinger equations to higher-order Schr\"odinger equations with a more general nonlinearity. More precisely, we consider a spatially-localized nonlinear higher-order Schr\"odinger equation and recover the spatially-localized coefficient by the solutions with data given by small-amplitude wave packets.

On well-posedness results for the cubic-quintic NLS on $\mathbb{T}^3$

We consider the periodic cubic-quintic nonlinear Schr\"odinger equation \begin{align}\label{cqnls_abstract} (i\partial_t +\Delta )u=\mu_1 |u|^2 u+\mu_2 |u|^4 u\tag{CQNLS} \end{align} on the three-dimensional torus $\mathbb{T}^3$ with $\mu_1,\mu_2\in \mathbb{R} \setminus\{0\}$. As a first result, we establish the small data well-posedness of \eqref{cqnls_abstract} for arbitrarily given $\mu_1$ and $\mu_2$. By adapting the crucial perturbation arguments in \cite{zhang2006cauchy} to the periodic setting, we also prove that \eqref{cqnls_abstract} is always globally well-posed in $H^1(\mathbb{T}^3)$ in the case $\mu_2>0$.

On the uniqueness of variable coefficient Schr\"odinger equations

We prove unique continuation properties for linear variable coefficient Schr\"odinger equations with bounded real potentials. Under certain smallness conditions on the leading coefficients, we prove that solutions decaying faster than any cubic exponential rate at two different times must be identically zero. Assuming a transversally anisotropic type condition, we recover the sharp Gaussian (quadratic exponential) rate in the series of works by Escauriaza-Kenig-Ponce-Vega [14, 17, 18].

On uniqueness properties of solutions of the generalized fourth-order Schr\"odinger equations

In this paper, we study uniqueness properties of solutions to the generalized fourth-order Schr\"odinger equations in any dimension $d$ of the following forms, $$i \partial_t u + \sum_{j=1}^d \partial_{x_j}^{\, 4} u = V(t, x) u, \quad \text{and} \quad i \partial_t u + \sum_{j=1}^d \partial_{x_j}^{\, 4} u + F (u, \bar{u}) = 0.$$ We show that a linear solution $u$ with fast enough decay in certain Sobolev spaces at two different times has to be trivial. Consequently, if the difference between two nonlinear solutions $u_1$ and $u_2$ decays sufficiently fast at two different times, it implies that $u_1 \equiv u_2$.

Singular Levy processes and dispersive effects of generalized Schr\"odinger equations

We introduce new models for Schr\"odinger-type equations, which generalize standard NLS and for which different dispersion occurs depending on the directions. Our purpose is to understand dispersive properties depending on the directions of propagation, in the spirit of waveguide manifolds, but where the diffusion is of different types. We mainly consider the standard Euclidean space and the waveguide case but our arguments extend easily to other types of manifolds (like product spaces). Our approach unifies in a natural way several previous results. Those models are also generalizations of some appearing in seminal works in mathematical physics, such as relativistic strings. In particular, we prove the large data scattering on waveguide manifolds $\mathbb{R}^d \times \mathbb{T}$, $d \geq 3$. This result can be regarded as the analogue of \cite{TV2, YYZ2} in our setting and the waveguide analogue investigated in \cite{GSWZ}. A key ingredient of the proof is a Morawetz-type estimate for the setting of this model.

On the decay property of the cubic fourth-order Schr\"odinger equation

In this short paper, we prove that the solution of the cubic fourth-order Schr\"odinger equation (4NLS) on $\mathbb{R}^d$ ($5 \leq d \leq 8$) enjoys the same (pointwise) decay property as its linear solution does. This result is proved via a bootstrap argument based on the corresponding global result Pausader \cite{Pau1}. This result can be extended to more general dispersive equations (including some more 4NLS models) with scattering asymptotics.

Global Well-posedness and scattering for fourth-order Schr\"odinger equations on waveguide manifolds

In this paper, we study the well-posedness theory and the scattering asymptotics for fourth-order Schr\"odinger equations (4NLS) on waveguide manifolds (semiperiodic spaces) $\mathbb{R}^d\times \mathbb{T}^n$, $d \geq 5$, $n=1,2,3$. The tori component $\mathbb{T}^n$ can be generalized to $n$-dimensional compact manifolds $\mathcal{M}^n$. First, we modify Strichartz estimates for 4NLS on waveguide manifolds, with which we establish the well-posedness theory in proper function spaces via the standard contraction mapping method. Moreover, we prove the scattering asymptotics based on an interaction Morawetz-type estimate established for 4NLS on waveguides. At last, we discuss the higher dimensional analogue, the focusing scenario and give some further remarks on this research line. This result can be regarded as the waveguide analogue of Pausader \cite{Pau2,Pau1,Pau3} and the 4NLS analogue of Tzvetkov-Visciglia \cite{TV2}.

Global well-posedness and long-time behavior of the fractional NLS

In this paper, our discussion mainly focuses on equations with energy supercritical nonlinearities. We establish probabilistic global well-posedness (GWP) results for the cubic Schr\"odinger equation with any fractional power of the Laplacian in all dimensions. We consider both low and high regularities in the radial setting, in dimension $\geq 2$. In the high regularity result, an {\it Inviscid - Infinite dimensional (IID) limit} is employed while in the low regularity global well-posedness result, we make use of the Skorokhod representation theorem. The IID limit is presented in details as an independent approach that applies to a wide range of Hamiltonian PDEs. Moreover we discuss the adaptation to the periodic settings, in any dimension, for smooth regularities.

On the global well-posedness for the periodic quintic nonlinear Schr\"odinger equation

In this paper, we consider the initial value problem for the quintic, defocusing nonlinear Schr\"odinger equation on $\Bbb T^2$ with general data in the critical Sobolev space $H^{\frac{1}{2}} (\Bbb T^2)$. We show that if a solution remains bounded in $H^{\frac{1}{2}} (\Bbb T^2)$ in its maximal interval of existence, then the solution is globally well-posed in $\Bbb T^2$.

Global well-posedness for the cubic fractional NLS on the unit disk

In this paper, we prove that the cubic nonlinear Schr\"odinger equation with the fractional Laplacian on the unit disk is globally well-posed for certain radial initial data below the energy space. The result is proved by extending the I-method in the fractional nonlinear Schr\"odinger equation setting.
