For any Riemannian metric $ds^2$ on a compact surface of genus $g$, Yang and Yau proved that the normalized first eigenvalue of the Laplacian $\lambda_1(ds^2)Area(ds^2)$ is bounded in terms of the genus. In particular, if $\Lambda_1(g)$ is…

The eigenfunctions of the Laplacian are a central object from the realms of analytic number theory to geometric analysis. We prove that H\"ormander $L^2$-$L^{\infty}$ estimates are equivalent to restriction estimates to small geodesic…

Let $G$ be a compact connected Lie group and let $K$ be a closed subgroup of $G$. In this paper we study whether the functional $g\mapsto \lambda_1(G/K,g)\operatorname{diam}(G/K,g)^2$ is bounded among $G$-invariant metrics $g$ on $G/K$.…

Analysis of non-compact manifolds almost always requires some controlled behavior at infinity. Without such, one neither can show, nor expect, strong properties. On the other hand, such assumptions restrict the possible applications and…
