    Title: Non-existence of internal mode for the 1D Zakharov system
    Abstract:
    We prove that the linearized operator around any sufficiently small solitary wave of the one-dimensional Zakharov system has no internal mode. This spectral result is expected to play a role in any attempt to study the asymptotic stability of small solitary waves for this model. Work in collaboration with Guillaume Rialland (UVSQ, France).

    Title: Stable blowup for the higher-dimensional Skyrme model
    Abstract:
    The Skyrme model is a geometric field theory and a quasilinear modification of the nonlinear sigma model, i.e., wave maps into the sphere. In 3+1 dimensions, it is known that this modification prevents self-similar collapse and that global existence holds for large data. I will discuss recent work which demonstrates that this is not the case in 5+1 dimensions. In particular, Skyrme’s modification provides a stable mechanism for finite-time blowup at the self-similar rate.

    Title: Global dynamics and weak universality for the fractional hyperbolic Φ^4_3-model
    Abstract:
    In this talk, I consider the 3-dimensional stochastic damped fractional nonlinear wave equation (with order α > 1) with a cubic nonlinearity, also known as the fractional hyperbolic Φ^4_3-model. The construction of the fractional Φ^4_3-measure (Gibbs measure for the fractional hyperbolic Φ^4_3-model) exhibits a phase transition: when α > 9/8, the Gibbs measure is equivalent with the base Gaussian measure; when 1 < α <= 9/8, the Gibbs measure is mutually singular with the base Gaussian measure. I will first talk about global well-posedness of the fractional hyperbolic Φ^4_3-model and invariance of the fractional Φ^4_3-measure for the entire range α > 1. Then, I will discuss weak universality for the fractional hyperbolic Φ^4_3-model. In the case α > 9/8, we prove weak universality by using a first order expansion, invariance of Gibbs measures, and space-time analysis. In the case 1 < α <= 9/8, we also obtain weak universality by overcoming the issue of singularity between the Gibbs measure and the base Gaussian measure. Some parts of the talk are based on a joint work with Nikolay Tzvetkov (ENS Lyon) and Yuzhao Wang (University of Birmingham).
