We study global minimizers of a continuum Landau-De Gennes energy functional for nematic liquid crystals, in three-dimensional domains. Assuming smooth and uniaxial (e.g. homeotropic) boundary conditions and a corresponding physically relevant norm constraint (Lyuksyutov constraint) in the interior, we prove full regularity up to the boundary for the minimizers. As a consequence, in a relevant range (which we call the Lyuksyutov regime) of parameters of the model we show that even without the norm constraint isotropic melting is anyway avoided in the energy minimizing configurations. Finally, we describe a class of boundary data including radial anchoring which yield in both the previous situations as minimizers smooth configurations whose level sets of the biaxiality carry nontrivial topology. Results in this paper will be largely employed and refined in the next papers of our series. In particular, in [DMP2], we will prove that for smooth minimizers in a restricted class of axially symmetric configurations, the level sets of the biaxiality are generically finite union of tori of revolution.

We study energy minimization of a continuum Landau-de Gennes energy functional for nematic liquid crystals, in three-dimensional axisymmetric domains and in a restricted class of $mathbb{S}^1$-equivariant (i.e., axially symmetric) configurations. We
assume smooth and nonvanishing $mathbb{S}^1$-equivariant (e.g. homeotropic) Dirichlet boundary conditions and a physically relevant norm constraint (Lyuksyutov constraint) in the interior. Relying on results in cite{DMP1} in the nonsymmetric setting, we prove partial regularity of minimizers away from a possible finite set of interior singularities lying on the symmetry axis. For a suitable class of domains and boundary data we show that for smooth minimizers (torus solutions) the level sets of the signed biaxiality are generically finite union of tori of revolution. Concerning nonsmooth minimizers (split solutions), we characterize their asymptotic behavior around any singular point in terms of explicit $mathbb{S}^1$-equivariant harmonic maps into $mathbb{S}^4$, whence the generic level sets of the signed biaxiality contains invariant topological spheres. Finally, in the model case of a nematic droplet, we provide existence of torus solutions, at least when the boundary data are suitable uniaxial deformations of the radial anchoring, and existence of split solutions for boundary data which are suitable linearly full harmonic spheres.
In this paper, we study the connection between the Ericksen-Leslie equations and the Beris-Edwards equations in dimension two. It is shown that the weak solutions to the Beris-Edwards equations converge to the one to the Ericksen-Leslie equations as
the elastic coefficient tends to zero. Moreover, the limiting weak solutions to the Ericksen-Leslie equations may have singular points.
We study the McKean-Vlasov equation [ partial_t varrho= beta^{-1} Delta varrho + kappa abla cdot (varrho abla (W star varrho)) , , ] with periodic boundary conditions on the torus. We first study the global asymptotic stability of the homogeneous s
teady state. We then focus our attention on the stationary system, and prove the existence of nontrivial solutions branching from the homogeneous steady state, through possibly infinitely many bifurcations, under appropriate assumptions on the interaction potential. We also provide sufficient conditions for the existence of continuous and discontinuous phase transitions. Finally, we showcase these results by applying them to several examples of interaction potentials such as the noisy Kuramoto model for synchronisation, the Keller--Segel model for bacterial chemotaxis, and the noisy Hegselmann--Krausse model for opinion dynamics.
In this paper we study the existence of finite energy traveling waves for the Gross-Pitaevskii equation. This problem has deserved a lot of attention in the literature, but the existence of solutions in the whole subsonic range was a standing open pr
oblem till the work of Maris in 2013. However, such result is valid only in dimension 3 and higher. In this paper we first prove the existence of finite energy traveling waves for almost every value of the speed in the subsonic range. Our argument works identically well in dimensions 2 and 3. With this result in hand, a compactness argument could fill the range of admissible speeds. We are able to do so in dimension 3, recovering the aforementioned result by Maris. The planar case turns out to be more difficult and the compactness argument works only under an additional assumption on the vortex set of the approximating solutions.
Consider Yudovich solutions to the incompressible Euler equations with bounded initial vorticity in bounded planar domains or in $mathbb{R}^2$. We present a purely Lagrangian proof that the solution map is strongly continuous in $L^p$ for all $pin [1
, infty)$ and is weakly-$*$ continuous in $L^infty$.
