We revisit the problem of characterizing the eigenvalue distribution of the Dirichlet-Laplacian on bounded open sets $\Omega\subset\mathbb{R}$ with fractal boundaries. It is well-known from the results of Lapidus and Pomerance \cite{LapPo1}…

We prove P\'olya's conjecture for the eigenvalues of the Dirichlet Laplacian on annular domains. Our approach builds upon and extends the methods we previously developed for disks and balls. It combines variational bounds, estimates of…

We study spectral properties of Dirac operators on bounded domains $\Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^3$ with boundary conditions of electrostatic and Lorentz scalar type and which depend on a parameter $\tau\in\mathbb{R}$; the case $\tau = 0$…

Let $\Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^d$ be a bounded domain and let $\lambda_1, \lambda_2, \dots$ denote the sequence of eigenvalues of the Laplacian subject to Dirichlet boundary conditions. We consider inequalities for $\lambda_n$ that are…

Let $\Omega\subset \mathbb R^d\,, d\geq 2$, be a bounded open set, and denote by $\lambda\_j(\Omega), j\geq 1$, the eigenvalues of the Dirichlet Laplacian arranged in nondecreasing order, with multiplicities. The weak form of Pleijel's…

The full one sided shift space over finite symbols is approximated by an increasing sequence of finite subsets of the space. The Laplacian on the space is then defined as a renormalised limit of the difference operators defined on these…

The sum of the first $n \geq 1$ eigenvalues of the Laplacian is shown to be maximal among triangles for the equilateral triangle, maximal among parallelograms for the square, and maximal among ellipses for the disk, provided the ratio…

We revisit an interesting example proposed by Maria Hoffmann-Ostenhof, the second author and Nikolai Nadirashvili of a bounded domain in R2 for which the second eigenvalue of the Dirichlet Laplacian has multiplicity three. We also analyze…

In this work we prove that given an open bounded set $\Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^2$ with a $C^2$ boundary, there exists $\epsilon := \epsilon(\Omega)$ small enough such that for all $0 < \delta < \epsilon$ the maximum of $\{\lambda_1(\Omega…

We consider the shape optimization problems for the quantities $\lambda(\Omega)T^q(\Omega)$, where $\Omega$ varies among open sets of $\mathbb{R}^d$ with a prescribed Lebesgue measure. While the characterization of the infimum is completely…

In this paper, given a convex, bounded, open set $\Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^n$ we prove a sharp inequality involving the Laplacian torsional rigidity and both the perimeter and the measure of the domain. Our result generalizes to arbitrary…

The theory of the $\kappa$-deformed Poincare algebra is applied to the analysis of various phenomena in special relativity, quantum mechanics and field theory. The method relies on the development of series expansions in $\kappa^{-1}$ of…

Let $\Omega$ be some domain in the hyperbolic space $\Hn$ (with $n\ge 2$) and $S_1$ the geodesic ball that has the same first Dirichlet eigenvalue as $\Omega$. We prove the Payne-P\'olya-Weinberger conjecture for $\Hn$, i.e., that the…
