We consider the sharp Sobolev-Poincar\'e constant for the embedding of $W^{1,2}_0(\Omega)$ into $L^q(\Omega)$. We show that such a constant exhibits an unexpected dual variational formulation, in the range $1<q<2$. Namely, this can be…
We study Blaschke-Santal\'o diagrams associated to the torsional rigidity and the first eigenvalue of the Laplacian with Dirichlet boundary conditions. We work under convexity and volume constraints, in both strong (volume exactly one) and…
We present a fractional counterpart of a generalized Kohler-Jobin inequality, showing that, among all bounded, open sets $\Omega\subset \mathbb{R}^N$ with Lipschitz boundary, having the same fractional torsional rigidity, the first…
In this paper, we compute the second variation of the first Dirichlet eigenvalue on extremal domains in general Riemannian manifolds and establish a criterion for stability. We classify the stable extremal domains in the 2-sphere and…
We deepen the study of Dirichlet eigenvalues in bounded domains where a thin tube is attached to the boundary. As its section shrinks to a point, the problem is spectrally stable and we quantitatively investigate the rate of convergence of…
We provide fundamental properties of the first eigenpair for fractional $p$-Laplacian eigenvalue problems under singular weights, which is related to Hardy type inequality, and also show that the second eigenvalue is well-defined. We obtain…

We develop the theory of torsional rigidity -- a quantity routinely considered for Dirichlet Laplacians on bounded planar domains -- for Laplacians on metric graphs with at least one Dirichlet vertex. Using a variational characterization…
In this paper, we study the first eigenvalue of the Laplacian on doubly connected domains when Robin and Dirichlet conditions are imposed on the outer and the inner part of the boundary, respectively. We provide that the spherical shell…
We describe min-max formulas for the principal eigenvalue of a $V$-drift Laplacian defined by a vector field $V$ on a geodesic ball of a Riemannian manifold $N$. Then we derive comparison results for the principal eigenvalue with the one of…
The solutions of boundary value problems for the Laplacian and the bilaplacian exhibit very different qualitative behaviors. Particularly, the failure of general maximum principles for the bilaplacian implies that solutions of higher-order…
