Nonlinear asymptotic stability and transition threshold for 2D Taylor-Couette flows in Sobolev spaces

Xinliang An, Taoran He, Te Li

In this paper, we investigate the stability of the 2-dimensional (2D) Taylor-Couette (TC) flow for the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations. The explicit form of velocity for 2D…

Quantitative blow-up estimates for spacelike singularities in gravitational-collapse cosmological spacetimes

Xinliang An, Haoyang Chen, Taoran He

Under spherical symmetry, with double-null coordinates , we study the gravitational collapse of the Einstein--scalar field system with a positive cosmological constant. The…

ill-posedness for 2D Elastic Wave system

Xinliang An, Haoyang Chen, Silu Yin

In this paper, we prove that for the 2D elastic wave equations, a physical system with multiple wave-speeds, its Cauchy problem fails to be locally well-posed in $H^{\frac{11}{4}}(…

Enhanced dissipation and nonlinear asymptotic stability of the Taylor-Couette flow for the 2D Navier-Stokes equations

Xinliang An, Taoran He, Te Li

In this paper, we study the nonlinear stability of a steady circular flow created between two rotating concentric cylinders. The dynamics of the viscous fluid are described by 2D N…

Low regularity ill-posedness and shock formation for 3D ideal compressible MHD

Xinliang An, Haoyang Chen, Silu Yin

The study of magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) significantly boosts the understanding and development of solar physics, planetary dynamics and controlled nuclear fusion. Dynamical propert…

Anisotropic Dynamical Horizons Arising in Gravitational Collapse

Xinliang An, Qing Han

For the study of dimensional Einstein vacuum equations (EVEs), substantial progress has been made recently on the problem of trapped surface formation. However, very limited…

A scale-critical trapped surface formation criterion for the Einstein-Maxwell system

Xinliang An, Nikolaos Athanasiou

In this study we show that, from arbitrarily dispersed initial data, both the concentration of electromagnetic fields and the focusing of gravitational waves could lead to the form…

Trapped surface formation for spherically symmetric Einstein-Maxwell-charged scalar field system with double null foliation

Xinliang An, Zhan Feng Lim

In this paper, under spherical symmetry we prove a trapped surface formation criterion for the Einstein-Maxwell-charged scalar field system. We generalize an approach introduced by…

Curvature blow-up rates in spherically symmetric gravitational collapse to a Schwarzschild black hole

Xinliang An, Dejan Gajic

We study the black hole interiors of spacetimes arising from gravitational collapse in the spherically symmetric Einstein-scalar field setting, and we investigate the precise blow-…

Polynomial Blow-up Upper Bounds for the Einstein-scalar field System Under Spherical Symmetry

Xinliang An, Ruixiang Zhang

For general gravitational collapse, inside the black-hole region, singularities may arise. In this article, we aim to answer how strong these singularities could be. We ana…

Low regularity ill-posedness for elastic waves driven by shock formation

Xinliang An, Haoyang Chen, Silu Yin

In this paper, we construct counterexamples to the local existence of low-regularity solutions to elastic wave equations in three spatial dimensions (3D). Inspired by the recent wo…

A Scale-Critical Trapped Surface Formation Criterion: A New Proof via Signature for Decay Rates

Xinliang An

For gravitational collapse, we observe a correspondence between region close to past null infinity and region close to central singularity. In line with this philosophy, we constru…

Warped Product Space-times

Xinliang An, Willie Wai Yeung Wong

Many classical results in relativity theory concerning spherically symmetric space-times have easy generalizations to warped product space-times, with a two-dimensional Lorentzian…

Emergence of Apparent Horizon in Gravitational Collapse

Xinliang An

We solve Einstein vacuum equations in a spacetime region up to the "center" of gravitational collapse. Within this region, we construct a sequence of marginally outer trapped surfa…
