In [LS], it is shown shown that the first eigenvalue of the Laplacian restricted to the space of invariant functions on a toric K\"ahler manifold (i.e. $\lambda_1^\mathbb{T}$, the invariant first eigenvalue) is an unbounded function of the…
We obtain the correct hamiltonian which describes the dynamics of classes of asymptotic open Friedmann-Lema\^{\i}tre-Robertson-Walker (FLRW) spacetimes, which includes Tolman geometries. We calculate the surface term that has to be added to…
We show that a Lagrangian inclusion in $\mathbb C^2$ with double transverse self-intersection points and standard open Whitney umbrellas is rationally convex. As an application we show that any compact surface $S$, except $S^2$ and $\mathbb…
In this paper, we establish the non-positivity of the second eigenvalue of the Schr\"odinger operator $-\textrm{div}\big( P_r \nabla\cdot\big) - W_r^2$ on a closed hypersurface $\Sigma^n$ of $\mathbb{R}^{n+1}$, where $W_r$ is a power of the…
Motivated by applications in fluid dynamics involving the harmonic Bergman projection we aim at extending the theory of single and double layer potentials (well documented for functions with $H^1_{\ell oc}$ regularity) to locally square…
On the space of isometric embeddings $f_g$ of metrics $g$ on a manifold $M^n$ into the standard $(\mb{S}^{\tn=\tn(n)},\tg)$, we consider the total exterior scalar curvature $\Theta_{f_g}(M)$, and squared $L^2$ norm of the mean curvature…
The main aim of this article is to establish boundedness of singular integrals with non-smooth kernels on product spaces. Let $L_1$ and $L_2$ be non-negative self-adjoint operators on $L^2(\mathbb{R}^{n_1})$ and $L^2(\mathbb{R}^{n_2})$,…
In this paper, we investigate the first eigenvalue $\Lambda_1$ of the area Jacobi operator for complex curves in K\"ahler surfaces, establishing an extrinsic counterpart to the classical Lichnerowicz theorem for the Laplace-Beltrami…
In this paper, we study the first eigenvalue of the Laplace--Beltrami operator on the Lawson minimal surfaces $\xi_{m,k}$ embedded in the unit three-sphere $\mathbb{S}^3$. Motivated by Yau's conjecture on the first eigenvalue of closed…
Let $\Sigma$ be a compact immersed surface with constant weighted mean curvature $H_f$ in a weighted manifold $(M^3,g,f)$. In this paper we obtain upper bounds for the first eigenvalue of the weighted Jacobi operator on $\Sigma$ in terms of…
Given a surface $\Sigma$ in $\mathbb{R}^3$ diffeomorphic to $S^2$, Struwe (Acta Math., 1988) proved that for almost every $H$ below the mean curvature of the smallest sphere enclosing $\Sigma$, there exists a branched immersed disk which…
We prove smoothness of $W^{2,2}$ isometric immersions of surfaces endowed with a smooth Riemannian metric of positive Gauss curvature. We then derive the $\Gamma$-limit of three dimensional nonlinear shells with inhomogeneous energy…
In this paper, we study the elliptic Weingarten surfaces of minimal type immersed in the warped product space $\mathbb{R} \times_{h} \mathbb{R}$, when $h$ is a $C^{1}$-function in $\mathbb{R}^{2}$ with radial symmetry. That is, surfaces…
Oberdieck and Pandharipande conjectured that the curve counting invariants of $S\times E$, the product of a $K3$ surface and an elliptic curve, is given by minus the reciprocal of the Igusa cusp form of weight 10. For a fixed primitive…
In this article, we study complete surfaces $\Sigma$, isometrically immersed in the product space $\mathbb{H}^2\times\mathbb{R}$ or $\mathbb{S}^2\times\mathbb{R}$ having positive extrinsic curvature $K_e$. Let $K_i$ denote the intrinsic…
The asymptotic structure of the gravitational field of isolated systems has been analyzed in great detail in the case when the cosmological constant $\Lambda$ is zero. The resulting framework lies at the foundation of research in diverse…
On the 2-dimensional unit disk $B_1$ we study the Moser-Trudinger functional $$E(u)=\int_{B_1}(e^{u^2}-1)dx, u\in H^1_0(B_1)$$ and its restrictions to $M_\Lambda:=\{u \in H^1_0(B_1):\|u\|^2_{H^1_0}=\Lambda\}$ for $\Lambda>0$. We prove that…
N. V. Efimov \cite{Ef1} proved that there is no complete, smooth surface in $\R^3$ with uniformly negative curvature. We extend this to isometric immersions in a 3-manifold with pinched curvature: if $M^3$ has sectional curvature between…
Let $E$ be an infinite-dimensional separable Hilbert space. We show that for every $C^1$ function $f:E\to\mathbb{R}^d$, every open set $U$ with $C_f:=\{x\in E:\,Df(x)\; \text{is not surjective}\}\subset U$ and every continuous function…
