Stability and instability for geometric PDEs

Ioan Bejenaru

Abstract:

In this talk we focus on two important geometric PDEs: the heat flow for harmonic maps and Schroedinger Maps. We discuss the stability versus instability/blow-up phenomena for small perturbations of their solitons within the equivariant class (a natural symmetry preserved by these PDEs).
