Title: Generic small-scale creation in the two-dimensional Euler equation
Abstract: In this talk I will present a recent result in collaboration with Thomas Alazard (CNRS-École Polytechnique). While it is well known that the Cauchy problem for the two-dimensional incompressible Euler equation is globally well-posed for smooth initial data, we show that for a dense $G_\delta$ set of initial data, the solutions lose regularity in infinite time, thereby confirming a long-standing conjecture of Yudovich in the smooth setting.

Title: Gamma-convergence of a nonlocal Modica-Mortola type energy
Abstract: In this talk we will present a Gamma-convergence result for a nonlocal critically scaled Modica-Mortola type energy. We first review some basic facts about Modica-Mortola type energy functionals and known results and then focus on explaining some of the ideas which allow to show Gamma-convergence with a geometric argument.

Title: Nonlinear bound states with prescribed angular momentum
Abstract: We prove the existence of a class of orbitally stable bound state solutions to nonlinear Schrödinger equations with super-quadratic confinement in two and three spatial dimensions. These solutions are given by time-dependent rotations of a non-radially symmetric spatial profile which in itself is obtained via a doubly constrained energy minimization. One of the two constraints imposed is the total mass, while the other is given by the expectation value of the angular momentum around the z-axis. Our approach also allows for a new description of the set of minimizers subject to only a single mass constraint. This is joint work with I. Nenciu and X. Shen.
