Eulerian dynamics in multi-dimensions with radial symmetry
arXiv:2007.15758
Abstract
We study the global wellposedness of pressure-less Eulerian dynamics in multi-dimensions, with radially symmetric data. Compared with the 1D system, a major difference in multi-dimensional Eulerian dynamics is the presence of the spectral gap, which is difficult to control in general. We propose a new pair of scalar quantities that provides a significant better control of the spectral gap. Two applications are presented. (i) the Euler-Poisson equations: we show a sharp threshold condition on initial data that distinguish global regularity and finite time blowup; (ii) the Euler-alignment equations: we show a large subcritical region of initial data that leads to global smooth solutions.
