Abstract

We study the one-dimensional strong-weak Lotka-Volterra competition-diffusion system \[ u_t=u_{xx}+u(1-u-av),\qquad v_t=dv_{xx}+rv(1-v-bu), \] with compactly supported initial data under the parameter condition $0<a<1<b$. Existing literature only gives leading-order spreading speed asymptotics without refined logarithmic corrections for wave fronts over the full parameter space. We convert the competitive system into an equivalent cooperative parabolic system and establish moving-domain comparison principles. Based on heat-kernel estimates, we derive sharp logarithmic asymptotic expansions for the rightmost level set of the stronger species $u$. According to the magnitudes of three characteristic speeds, five long-time dynamical regimes are classified, including pulled, nonlocally pulled, pushed and critical transition fronts, with explicit logarithmic and double-logarithmic phase corrections. Our results capture delicate long-time phase offsets of wave profiles neglected in previous leading-order theories.

Well-Posedness for SDEs with Logarithmical Critical Distributional Drifts

We study the stochastic differential equation $$d X_t=b(t,X_t)d t+\sqrt{2}d W_t$$ on $\mathbb R^d$, where $b$ is a time-dependent, divergence-free distributional drift of critical H\"older--Besov regularity $-1$, strengthened by an iterated-logarithmic correction. For every initial probability law, we construct a weak...

Modified Scattering and Asymptotics for Perturbed One-Dimensional Cubic NLS

We study the long-time dynamics of small solutions to the one-dimensional nonlinear Schr\"odinger equation \[ i\partial_t v+\partial_x^2v-\beta\abs{v}^2v +\cW(x)\abs{v}^4v+\gamma i\partial_xv=0, \] where $\cW$ is spatially localized. The cubic nonlinearity is long range and produces the logarithmic phase correction, wh...

Sharp mean-field estimates for diffusive log/Riesz gases in the Hilbert--Schmidt regime

We study fixed-temperature logarithmic and Riesz gases after subtracting the leading mean-field contribution relative to a prescribed background law. For repulsive interactions in the Hilbert--Schmidt regime, we prove $N$-uniform bounds and quantitative convergence of the resulting modulated partition function to a nor...

Aggregation--Diffusion Equations with Regular or Repulsive Interactions: Gaussian and Self-Similar Asymptotics

We study the large-time behavior of solutions to the aggregation--diffusion equation $$ u_t=\Delta u+\nabla\cdot\bigl(u\,\nabla K*u\bigr) \qquad \text{in } \mathbb{R}^d. $$ Our main results identify a transition, governed by the regularity and singularity of the interaction kernel, between Gaussian and nonlinear self-s...

Long-time behavior of McKean--Vlasov stochastic systems with singular coefficients

We develop a quantitative framework for the long-time behavior of McKean--Vlasov stochastic differential equations with singular coefficients and possible phase transitions. The framework separates the existence of invariant measures from their uniqueness. For existence, we introduce a generalized Lyapunov condition wi...

Spectral gap for the three-dimensional damped cubic wave equation with degenerate noise

We establish a weighted Wasserstein spectral gap for the three-dimensional damped cubic wave equation with genuinely finite rank Brownian forcing. Under a saturation condition, the gap holds with respect to the negative phase topology $\mathcal E_s=H^{-s}\times H^{-1-s}$ for every $0<s<1/2$, from which we deduce unique...
