We give a new formula for the Lichnerowicz Laplacian on normal homogeneous spaces in terms of Casimir operators. We derive some practical estimates and apply them to the known list of non-symmetric, compact, simply connected homogeneous…

For any homogeneous space of a noncompact semisimple Lie group $G$, we define an exponent with multiple interpretations from representation theory and group theory. As an application, we give a temperedness criterion for $L^2 (G/H)$ for any…

Let $G$ be a connected non-odd-bipartite hypergraph with even uniformity. The least H-eigenvalue of the signless Laplacian tensor of $G$ is simply called the least eigenvalue of $G$ and the corresponding H-eigenvectors are called the first…

Let X(G) denote the flag complex of a graph G=(V,E) on n vertices. We study relations between the first eigenvalues of successive higher Laplacians of X(G). One consequence is the following result: Let \lambda_2(G) denote the second…

We consider compact locally symmetric spaces $\Gamma\backslash G/H$ where $G/H$ is a non-compact semisimple symmetric space and $\Gamma$ is a discrete subgroup of $G$. We discuss some features of the joint spectrum of the (commutative)…

In this article, we study compactifications of homogeneous spaces coming from equivariant, open embeddings into a generalized flag manifold $G/P$. The key to this approach is that in each case $G/P$ is the homogeneous model for a parabolic…

We identify the cotangent bundle Lie algebroid of a Poisson homogeneous space G/H of a Poisson Lie group G as a quotient of a transformation Lie algebroid over G. As applications, we describe the modular vector fields of G/H, and we…

An adapted version of the proof (due to A. Weil) of the well-known de Rham Theorem allows us to compare uniformly the spectrum of the Hodge Laplacian acting on differential forms (on a compact Riemannian manifold) to the spectrum of the…

Motivated by collapsing of Riemannian manifolds and inhomogeneous scaling of left invariant Riemannian metrics on a real Lie group $G$ with a sub-group $H$, we introduce a family of interpolation equations on $G$ with a parameter…

Let G be a real reductive Lie group and H a closed reductive subgroup of G. We investigate the deformation of "standard" compact quotients of G/H, i.e., of quotients of G/H by discrete subgroups Gamma of G that are uniform lattices in a…

We determine a fundamental solution for the differential operator (Delta - lambda_z)^n on the Riemannian symmetric space G/K, where G is any complex semi-simple Lie group, and K is a maximal compact subgroup. We develop a global zonal…

In this paper we study eigenvalues of the Dirichlet Laplacian on conformally flat Riemannian manifolds. In particular we establish some universal inequality for eigenvalues of the Dirichlet Laplacian on the hyperbolic space…

We develop an elementary method to compute spaces of equivariant maps from a homogeneous space $G/H$ of a Lie group $G$ to a module of this group. The Lie group is not required to be compact. More generally, we study spaces of invariant…

Petrecca and R\"oser (2018, \cite{Petrecca2019}), and Schueth (2017, \cite{Schueth2017}) had shown that for a generic $G$-invariant metric $g$ on certain compact homogeneous spaces $M=G/K$ (including symmetric spaces of rank 1 and some Lie…

We consider the Dirichlet and Neumann eigenvalues of the Laplacian for a planar, simply connected domain. The eigenvalues admit a characterization in terms of a layer potential of the Helmholtz equation. Using the exterior conformal mapping…

Motivated by various results on homogeneous geodesics of Riemannian spaces, we study homogeneous trajectories, i.e. trajectories which are orbits of a one-parameter symmetry group, of Lagrangian and Hamiltonian systems. We present criteria…

We consider the lower order eigenvalues of poly-Laplacian with any order on spherical domains. We obtain universal inequalities for them and show that our results are optimal.

In this note we partially answer a question posed by Colbois, Dryden, and El Soufi. Consider the space of constant-volume Riemannian metrics on a connected manifold M which are invariant under the action of a discrete Lie group G. We show…

The rich spectral information of the graph Laplacian has been instrumental in graph theory, machine learning, and graph signal processing for applications such as graph classification, clustering, or eigenmode analysis. Recently, the Hodge…

Let $L$ denote a right-invariant sub-Laplacian on an exponential, hence solvable Lie group $G$, endowed with a left-invariant Haar measure. Depending on the structure of $G$, and possibly also that of $L$, $L$ may admit differentiable…
