The spectrum of the Dirichlet Laplacian on conical layers is analysed through two aspects: the infiniteness of the discrete eigenvalues and their expansions in the small aperture limit. On the one hand, we prove that, for any aperture, the…

We study the connection of the existence of solutions with certain properties and the spectrum of operators in the framework of regular Dirichlet forms on infinite graphs. In particular we prove a version of the Allegretto-Piepenbrink…

We show the existence of a natural Dirichlet-to-Neumann map on Riemannian manifolds with boundary and bounded geometry, such that the bottom of the Dirichlet spectrum is positive. This map regarded as a densely defined operator in the…

We consider a shape optimization problem related to the persistence threshold for a biological species, the unknown shape corresponding to the zone of the habitat which is favorable to the population. Analytically, this translates in the…

We derive a precise estimate on the volume growth of the level set of a potential function on a complete noncompact Riemannian manifold. As applications, we obtain the volume growth rate of a complete noncompact self-shrinker and a gradient…

We discuss optimal lower bounds for eigenvalues of Laplacians on weighted graphs. These bounds are formulated in terms of the geometry and, more specifically, the inradius of subsets of the graph. In particular, we study the first non-zero…

Let $G$ be a graph which satisfies $c^{-1} a^r \le |B(v,r)| \le c a^r$, for some constants $c,a>1$, every vertex $v$ and every radius $r$. We prove that this implies the isoperimetric inequality $|\partial A| \ge C |A| / \log(2+ |A|)$ for…

We consider supercritical long-range percolation on transitive graphs of polynomial growth. In this model, any two vertices $x$ and $y$ of the underlying graph $G$ connect by a direct edge with probability $1-\exp(-\beta J(x,y))$, where…

We consider the Dirichlet realization of the operator $-h^2\Delta+iV$ in the semi-classical limit $h\to0$, where $V$ is a smooth real potential with no critical points. For a one dimensional setting, we obtain the complete asymptotic…

We study the volume of the critical clusters for the percolation of the level sets of the Gaussian free field on metric graphs. On $\mathbb{Z}^d$ below the upper-critical dimension $d=6$, we show that the largest such cluster in a box of…

We give some natural sufficient conditions for balls in a metric space to have small intersection. Roughly speaking, this happens when the metric space is (i) expanding and (ii) well-spread, and (iii) a certain random variable on the…
