We give upper bounds for the eigenvalues of the La-place-Beltrami operator of a compact $m$-dimensional submanifold $M$ of $\R^{m+p}$. Besides the dimension and the volume of the submanifold and the order of the eigenvalue, these bounds…

We prove inheritance of measure zero property of the set of singular vectors for affine subspaces and submanifolds inside those affine subspaces. We define a notion of $n$-singularity for matrices, which is closely related to the uniform…

Two Riemannian manifolds are called eigenvalue equivalent when their sets of eigenvalues of the Laplace-Beltrami operator are equal (ignoring multiplicities). They are (primitive) length equivalent when the sets of lengths of their…

We consider spaces for which there is a notion of harmonicity for complex valued functions defined on them. For instance, this is the case of Riemannian manifolds on one hand, and (metric) graphs on the other hand. We observe that it is…

Let $G$ be a compact connected Lie group of dimension $m$. Once a bi-invariant metric on $G$ is fixed, left-invariant metrics on $G$ are in correspondence with $m\times m$ positive definite symmetric matrices. We estimate the diameter and…

In a domain $\Omega\subset \mathbb{R}^{\mathbf{N}}$ we consider a selfadjoint operator $\mathbf{T}=\mathfrak{A}^*P\mathfrak{A} ,$ where $\mathfrak{A}$ is a pseudodifferential operator of order $-l=-\mathbf{N}/2$ and $P=V\mu_{\Sigma}$ is a…

Given a Banach space X and a bounded linear operator T on X, a subspace Y of X is almost invariant under T if TY is a subspace of Y+F for some finite-dimensional ``error'' F. In this paper, we study subspaces that are almost invariant under…

The main result of the paper determines all real meromorphic functions of finite order in the plane for which the first derivative has finitely many zeros, while the function itself and one of its higher derivatives have finitely many…

We consider a polyharmonic operator $H=(-\Delta)^l+V(\x)$ in dimension two with $l\geq 2$, $l$ being an integer, and a quasi-periodic potential $V(\x)$. We prove that the spectrum of $H$ contains a semiaxis and there is a family of…

We construct generic real symmetric tensors with only real eigenvectors or, equivalently, real homogeneous polynomials with the maximum possible finite number of critical points on the sphere.

For arbitrary closed countable subsets $Z$ of the unit circle examples of topologically mixing operators on Hilbert spaces are given which have a densely spanning set of unimodular eigenvectors with eigenvalues restricted to $Z$. In…

We give analytical expressions for the eigenvalues and generalized eigenfunctions of $\hat{T}_3$, the $z$-axis projection of the toroidal dipole operator, in a system consisting of a particle confined in a thin film bent into a torus shape.…

Let \bar{M}_{0,n} be the moduli space of pointed, genus 0 curves. Let L_i denote the line bundle on \bar{M}_{0,n} associated to the i-th marked point (the fiber of L_i is the cotangent space of the pointed curve at the i-th point).…

For a general class of difference operators $H_\varepsilon = T_\varepsilon + V_\varepsilon$ on $\ell^2(\varepsilon\mathbb{Z}^d)$, where $V_\varepsilon$ is a multi-well potential and $\varepsilon$ is a small parameter, we analyze the…

Let $M\subset \mathbb{C}^{n+1}$ ($n\geq 2$) be a real analytic submanifold defined by an equation of the form: $w=|z|^2+O(|z|^3)$, where we use $(z,w)\in \mathbb{C}^{n}\times \mathbb{C}$ for the coordinates of $\mathbb{C}^{n+1}$. We first…

We systematically derive general properties of continuous and holomorphic functions with values in closed operators, allowing in particular for operators with empty resolvent set. We provide criteria for a given operator-valued function to…

We give a condition ensuring that the operators in a nilpotent Lie algebra of linear operators on a finite dimensional vector space have a common eigenvector.

For a class of PT-symmetric operators with small random perturbations, the eigenvalues obey Weyl asymptotics with probability close to 1. Consequently, when the principal symbol is non-real, there are many non-real eigenvalues.

Let $M$ denote a compact, connected Riemannian manifold of dimension $n\in{\mathbb N}$. We assume that $ M$ has a smooth and connected boundary. Denote by $g$ and ${\rm d}v_g$ respectively, the Riemannian metric on $M$ and the associated…

Let $M$ be a compact smooth manifold with corners and $N$ be a finite dimensional smooth manifold without boundary which admits local addition. We define a smooth manifold structure to general sets of continuous mapings $\mathcal{F}(M,N)$…
