We give characterizations of the bounded subanalytic $\mathscr{C}^\infty$ submanifolds $M$ of $\mathbb{R}^n$ for which the space of Neumann regular functions is dense in Sobolev spaces. By ``Neumann regular function'', we mean a function…

An $f$-structure on a manifold $M$ is an endomorphism field $\phi\in\Gamma(M,\End(TM))$ such that $\phi^3+\phi=0$. Any $f$-structure $\phi$ determines an almost CR structure $E_{1,0}\subset T_\C M$ given by the $+i$-eigenbundle of $\phi$.…

Let M be a compact spin manifold with a smooth action of the n-torus. Connes and Landi constructed theta-deformations M_{theta} of M, parameterized by n by n real skew-symmetric matrices theta. The M_{theta}'s together with the canonical…

This paper deals with the possibility of transforming a weakly measurable function in a Hilbert space into a continuous frame by a metric operator, i.e., a strictly positive self-adjoint operator. A necessary condition is that the domain of…

Let $(M,g)$ be an analytic Riemannian manifold of dimension $n \geq 5$. In this paper, we consider the so-called constant $Q$-curvature equation \[ \varepsilon^4\Delta_{g}^2 u -\varepsilon^2 b \Delta_{g} u +a u = u^{p} , \qquad \text{in }…

We consider functions $f$ of two real variables, given as trigonometric functions over a finite set $F$ of frequencies. This set is assumed to be closed under rotations in the frequency plane of angle $\frac{2k\pi}{M}$ for some integer $M$.…

We provide an isoperimetric comparison theorem for small volumes in an $n$-dimensional Riemannian manifold $(M^n,g)$ with strong bounded geometry, as in Definition $2.3$, involving the scalar curvature function. Namely in strong bounded…

Let $(M,g)$ be a compact, 2-dimensional Riemannian manifold with nonpositive sectional curvature. Let $\Delta_g$ be the Laplace-Beltrami operator corresponding to the metric $g$ on $M$, and let $e_\lambda$ be $L^2$-normalized eigenfunctions…

We derive a numerical approximation of the Laplace-Beltrami operator on compact surfaces embedded in $\mathbb{R}^3$ with an axial symmetry. To do so we use a noncommutative Laplace operator defined on the space of finite dimensional…

Let \phi\ be a Dirichlet or Neumann eigenfunction of the Laplace-Beltrami operator on a compact Riemannian manifold with boundary. We prove lower bounds for the size of the nodal set {\phi=0}.

In this paper we prove the Fourier restriction theorem for $p=2$ on Riemannian symmetric spaces of noncompact type with real rank one which extends the earlier result proved in \cite[Theorem 1.1]{KRS}. This result depends on the weak $L^2$…

This article is about two types of restrictions of eigenfunctions $\phi_j$ on a compact Riemannian manifold $(M,g)$: First, we restrict to a submanifold $H \subset M$, and expand the restriction $\gamma_H \phi_j$ in eigenfunctions $e_k$ of…

We study the spectrum of the Laplace-Beltrami operator on ellipsoids. For ellipsoids that are close to the sphere, we use analytic perturbation theory to estimate the eigenvalues up to two orders. We show that for biaxial ellipsoids…

Let $M$ be a compact Riemannian manifold with boundary. We show that $M$ is Gromov-Hausdorff close to a convex Euclidean region $D$ of the same dimension if the boundary distance function of $M$ is $C^1$-close to that of $D$. More…

We provide a functional characterization of isometries between non-reversible Finsler manifolds, in the form of a generalization of the Myers-Nakai Theorem for Riemannian manifolds. We show that, since non-reversible Finsler manifolds are a…

The almost Mathieu operator is the discrete Schr\"odinger operator $H_{\alpha,\beta,\theta}$ on $\ell^2(\mathbb{Z})$ defined via $(H_{\alpha,\beta,\theta}f)(k) = f(k + 1) + f(k - 1) + \beta \cos(2\pi \alpha k + \theta) f(k)$. We derive…

A result of Chernoff gives sufficient condition for an $L^2$-function on $\R^n$ to be quasi-analytic. This is a generalization of the classical Denjoy-Carleman theorem on $\R$ and of the subsequent work on $\R^n$ by Bochner and Taylor. In…

In \cite{Roe} Roe proved that if a doubly-infinite sequence $\{f_k\}$ of functions on $\R$ satisfies $f_{k+1}=(df_{k}/dx)$ and $|f_{k}(x)|\leq M$ for all $k=0,\pm 1,\pm 2,...$ and $x\in \R$, then $f_0(x)=a\sin(x+\varphi)$ where $a$ and…
