In this paper, we study the existence and concentration of normalized solutions to the supercritical nonlinear Schrödinger equation

\[ \left\{\begin{array}{@{}ll} -\Delta u + V(x) u = \mu_q u + a \vert u \vert ^q u & {\rm in}\ \mathbb{R}^2,\\ \int_{\mathbb{R}^2} \vert u \vert ^2\,{\rm d}x =1, & \end{array} \right.\]

We compare two cohomological Hall algebras (CoHA). The first one is the preprojective CoHA introduced in [19] associated with each quiver Q, and each algebraic oriented cohomology theory A. It is defined as the A-homology of the moduli of representations of the preprojective algebra of Q, generalizing the K-theoretic Hall algebra of commuting varieties of Schiffmann-Vasserot [15]. The other one is the critical CoHA defined by Kontsevich-Soibelman associated with each quiver with potentials. It is defined using the equivariant cohomology with compact support with coefficients in the sheaf of vanishing cycles. In the present paper, we show that the critical CoHA, for the quiver with potential of Ginzburg, is isomorphic to the preprojective CoHA as algebras. As applications, we obtain an algebra homomorphism from the positive part of the Yangian to the critical CoHA.

In this paper, we revisit the theory of induced representations in the setting of locally compact quantum groups. In the case of induction from open quantum subgroups, we show that constructions of Kustermans and Vaes are equivalent to the classical, and much simpler, construction of Rieffel. We also prove in general setting the continuity of induction in the sense of Vaes with respect to weak containment.

We show how to reconstruct a finite directed graph E from its Toeplitz algebra, its gauge action, and the canonical finite-dimensional abelian subalgebra generated by the vertex projections. We also show that if E has no sinks, then we can recover E from its Toeplitz algebra and the generalized gauge action that has, for each vertex, an independent copy of the circle acting on the generators corresponding to edges emanating from that vertex. We show by example that it is not possible to recover E from its Toeplitz algebra and gauge action alone.

Let Ω ⊂ ℝn be a bounded Lipschitz domain. Let $L: {\mathbb R}^n\rightarrow \bar {\mathbb R}= {\mathbb R}\cup \{+\infty \}$ be a continuous function with superlinear growth at infinity, and consider the functional $\mathcal {I}(u)=\int \nolimits _\Omega L(Du)$, u ∈ W1,1(Ω). We provide necessary and sufficient conditions on L under which, for all f ∈ W1,1(Ω) such that $\mathcal {I}(f) < +\infty $, the problem of minimizing $\mathcal {I}(u)$ with the boundary condition u|∂Ω = f has a solution which is stable, or – alternatively – is such that all of its solutions are stable. By stability of $\mathcal {I}$ at u we mean that $u_k\rightharpoonup u$ weakly in W1,1(Ω) together with $\mathcal {I}(u_k)\to \mathcal {I}(u)$ imply uk → u strongly in W1,1(Ω). This extends to general boundary data some results obtained by Cellina and Cellina and Zagatti. Furthermore, with respect to the preceding literature on existence results for scalar variational problems, we drop the assumption that the relaxed functional admits a continuous minimizer.

We establish gradient estimates for solutions to the Dirichlet problem for the constant mean curvature equation in hyperbolic space. We obtain these estimates on bounded strictly convex domains by using the maximum principles theory of Φ-functions of Payne and Philippin. These estimates are then employed to solve the Dirichlet problem when the mean curvature H satisfies H < 1 under suitable boundary conditions.

We present the complete classification of irreducible invariant algebraic curves of quadratic Liénard differential equations. We prove that these equations have irreducible invariant algebraic curves of unbounded degrees, in contrast with what is wrongly claimed in the literature. In addition, we classify all the quadratic Liénard differential equations that admit a Liouvillian first integral.

We study class 𝒮 for locally compact groups. We characterize locally compact groups in this class as groups having an amenable action on a boundary that is small at infinity, generalizing a theorem of Ozawa. Using this characterization, we provide new examples of groups in class 𝒮 and prove a unique prime factorization theorem for group von Neumann algebras of products of locally compact groups in this class. We also prove that class 𝒮 is a measure equivalence invariant.

We consider the minimizing problem for the energy functional with prescribed mass constraint related to the fractional non-linear Schrödinger equation with periodic potentials. Using the concentration-compactness principle, we show a complete classification for the existence and non-existence of minimizers for the problem. In the mass-critical case, under a suitable assumption of the potential, we give a detailed description of blow-up behaviour of minimizers once the mass tends to a critical value.

Let$\Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^{N} $, N ≽ 2, be a smooth bounded domain. For s ∈ (1/2, 1), we consider a problem of the form

$$\left\{\begin{array}{@{}ll} (-\Delta)^s u = \mu(x)\, \mathbb{D}_s^{2}(u) + \lambda f(x), & {\rm in}\,\Omega, \\ u= 0, & {\rm in}\,\mathbb{R}^{N} \setminus \Omega,\end{array}\right.$$

$\mu \in L^{\infty}$

$\mathbb {D}_s^2$

$$\mathbb{D}_s^2 (u) = \frac{a_{N,s}}{2} \int_{\mathbb{R}^{N}} \frac{|u(x)-u(y)|^2}{|x-y|^{N+2s}}\,{\rm d}y.$$

This paper is concerned with the following nonlinear Schrödinger system in ${\mathbb R}^3$

$$\left\{ {\beging{matrix}{ {-\Delta u + (1 + \alpha P(x))u = \mu u^3 + \beta uv^2,} \hfill & {x\in {\open R}^3,} \hfill \cr {-\Delta v + (1 + \alpha Q(x))u = \nu v^3 + \beta u^2v,} \hfill & {x\in {\open R}^3,} \hfill \cr {u,v > 0,} \hfill & {x\in {\open R}^3,} \hfill \cr } } \right.$$

We prove that, for any positive integer k > 1, there exists a suitable range of α such that the above problem has a non-radial positive solution with exactly k maximum points which tend to infinity as $\alpha \to +\infty $ (or $0^+$). Moreover, we also construct prescribed number of sign-changing solutions.
