This is an intuitive survey of extrinsic and intrinsic notions of convergence of manifolds complete with pictures of key examples and a discussion of the properties associated with each notion. We begin with a description of three extrinsic…

Classical and quantum Hamiltonian reductions of free geodesic systems of complete Riemannian manifolds are investigated. The reduced systems are described under the assumption that the underlying compact symmetry group acts in a polar…

In this paper we analyze the eigenvalues and eigenfunctions of the Hodge Laplacian for generic metrics on a closed 3-manifold $M$. In particular, we show that the nonzero eigenvalues are simple and the zero set of the eigenforms of degree 1…

Manifold submetries of the round sphere are a class of partitions of the round sphere that generalizes both singular Riemannian foliations, and the orbit decompositions by the orthogonal representations of compact groups. We exhibit a…

We prove quantum ergodicity for the eigenfunctions of the pseudo-Laplacian on Riemannian surfaces with finitely many hyperbolic cusps and ergodic geodesic flow.

We show that on a compact Riemmanian manifold $(M,g)$, nodal sets of linear combinations of any $p+1$ smooth functions form an admissible $p-$sweepout provided these linear combinations have uniformly bounded vanishing order. This applies…

A self-focal point of a Riemannian manifold $(M,g)$ is a point $p$ so that every geodesic starting from $p$ returns to $p$ at some positive time. It is called a pole if all geodesics through $p$ are closed, and a non-polar self-focal point…

We study the nodal sets of Neumann Laplace eigenfunctions in a bounded domain with $\mathcal{C}^{1,1}$ boundary. We show that for $u_\lambda$ such that $\Delta u_\lambda + \lambda u_\lambda = 0 $ with the Neumann boundary condition…

We discuss Neumann problems for self-adjoint Laplacians on (possibly infinite) graphs. Under the assumption that the heat semigroup is ultracontractive we discuss the unique solvability for non-empty subgraphs with respect to the vertex…

Let $P$ be a bounded $n$-dimensional Lipschitz polytope, and let $\varphi_{\lambda}$ be a Dirichlet Laplace eigenfunction in $P$ corresponding to the eigenvalue $\lambda$. We show that the $(n-1)$-dimensional Hausdorff measure of the nodal…

In this article, we consider analytic perturbations of isometries of an analytic Riemannian manifold M. We prove that, under some conditions, a finitely presented group of such small enough perturbations is analytically conjugate on M to…

We give a definition of convergence of differential of Lipschitz functions with respect to measured Gromov-Hausdorff topology. As their applications, we give a characterization of harmonic functions with polynomial growth on asymptotic…

In this paper, we consider the eigen-solutions of $-\Delta u+ Vu=\lambda u$, where $\Delta$ is the Laplacian on a non-compact complete Riemannian manifold. We develop Kato's methods on manifold and establish the growth of the…

In our previous paper q-alg/9605011 we proposed several algebraic methods for constructing new solutions to the bispectral problem. In the present note the corresponding eigenfunctions are explicitly constructed as multiple Laplace…

The purpose of this note is to extend to any space dimension the bilinear estimate for eigenfunctions of the Laplace operator on a compact manifold (without boundary) obtained in a previous work in dimension 2. We also give some related…

We introduce a proximal subdifferential and develop a calculus for nonsmooth functions defined on any Riemannian manifold $M$. We give several applications of this theory, concerning: 1) differentiability and geometrical properties of the…

We give upper bounds on the eigenvalues of the differential form Laplacian on a compact Riemannian manifold. The proof uses Alexandrov spaces with curvature bounded below. We also construct differential form Laplacians on Alexandrov spaces.…

It is an open problem in general to prove that there exists a sequence of $\Delta_g$-eigenfunctions $\phi_{j_k}$ on a Riemannian manifold $(M, g)$ for which the number $N(\phi_{j_k}) $ of nodal domains tends to infinity with the eigenvalue.…
