Alexandru D. Ionescu - Böcker

Princeton University's Elias Stein was the first mathematician to see the profound interconnections that tie classical Fourier analysis to several complex variables and representation theory. His fundamental contributions include the Kunze-Stein phenomenon, the construction of new representations, the Stein interpolation theorem, the idea of a restriction theorem for the Fourier transform, and the theory of Hp Spaces in several variables. Through his great discoveries, through books that have set the highest standard for mathematical exposition, and through his influence on his many collaborators and students, Stein has changed mathematics. Drawing inspiration from Stein's contributions to harmonic analysis and related topics, this volume gathers papers from internationally renowned mathematicians, many of whom have been Stein's students. The book also includes expository papers on Stein's work and its influence. The contributors are Jean Bourgain, Luis Caffarelli, Michael Christ, Guy David, Charles Fefferman, Alexandru D.Ionescu, David Jerison, Carlos Kenig, Sergiu Klainerman, Loredana Lanzani, Sanghyuk Lee, Lionel Levine, Akos Magyar, Detlef Muller, Camil Muscalu, Alexander Nagel, D. H. Phong, Malabika Pramanik, Andrew S. Raich, Fulvio Ricci, Keith M. Rogers, Andreas Seeger, Scott Sheffield, Luis Silvestre, Christopher D. Sogge, Jacob Sturm, Terence Tao, Christoph Thiele, Stephen Wainger, and Steven Zelditch.

A definitive proof of global nonlinear stability of Minkowski space-time as a solution of the Einstein-Klein-Gordon equationsThis book provides a definitive proof of global nonlinear stability of Minkowski space-time as a solution of the Einstein-Klein-Gordon equations of general relativity. Along the way, a novel robust analytical framework is developed, which extends to more general matter models. Alexandru Ionescu and Benoît Pausader prove global regularity at an appropriate level of generality of the initial data, and then prove several important asymptotic properties of the resulting space-time, such as future geodesic completeness, peeling estimates of the Riemann curvature tensor, conservation laws for the ADM tensor, and Bondi energy identities and inequalities.The book is self-contained, providing complete proofs and precise statements, which develop a refined theory for solutions of quasilinear Klein-Gordon and wave equations, including novel linear and bilinear estimates. Only mild decay assumptions are made on the scalar field and the initial metric is allowed to have nonisotropic decay consistent with the positive mass theorem. The framework incorporates analysis both in physical and Fourier space, and is compatible with previous results on other physical models such as water waves and plasma physics.

New, broadly applicable, parameter-free techniques for constructing stable quasiperiodic solutions of quasilinear evolution equationsThis monograph addresses an important problem in mathematical fluid dynamics: constructing stable, long-term solutions to certain quasilinear evolution equations. The authors implement an ingenious scheme for building global quasiperiodic solutions without relying on external parameters, instead exploiting the natural structure of initial data to generate families of stable solutions. This approach offers a more robust framework for studying global solutions of quasilinear PDEs.The book combines techniques from KAM theory, a Nash-Moser iteration scheme, and pseudodifferential calculus, and provides tools that extend beyond the specific SQG context and may prove useful for other evolution equations. Specifically, the authors establish the existence of quasiperiodic patch solutions for the generalized Surface Quasi-Geostrophic (SQG) equation across the parameter range $\alpha \in (1,2)$, in a neighborhood of the disk solution. These solutions exist globally in time without developing singularities, which sheds light on an important question about the behavior of geophysical fluid models. This work provides new insights into global dynamics in a mathematically challenging regime where standard perturbative methods are insufficient. And the techniques developed here offer potential applications to other evolution equations in mathematical physics, making this a valuable resource for researchers in partial differential equations, fluid dynamics, and related fields.
