We prove a local Faber-Krahn inequality for solutions $u$ to the Dirichlet problem for $\Delta + V$ on an arbitrary domain $\Omega$ in $\mathbb{R}^n$. Suppose a solution $u$ assumes a global maximum at some point $x_0 \in \Omega$ and…

We prove a lower bound on the first eigenvalue of the fractional Dirichlet-Laplacian of order $s$ on planar open sets, in terms of their inradius and topology. The result is optimal, in many respects. In particular, we recover a classical…

We consider the eigenvalue problem for the Laplacian with mixed Dirichlet and Neumann boundary conditions. For a certain class of bounded, simply connected planar domains we prove monotonicity properties of the first eigenfunction. As a…

We introduce a \emph{spectral Dehn function} \[ \Lambda_{\mathcal{P}}(n):=\inf \lambda_1(\Delta), \] where $\lambda_1(\Delta)$ is the first Dirichlet eigenvalue of the random-walk Laplacian on a van Kampen diagram $\Delta$, and the infimum…

We adapt the results of Part 1 to include the unit ball in the Heisenberg group, the model domain with characteristic boundary points. In particular, we construct function spaces on which the Kohn Laplacian with the \bar{\partial}_b-Neumann…

We study the optimization of Steklov eigenvalues with respect to a boundary density function $\rho$ on a bounded Lipschitz domain $\Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^N$. We investigate the minimization and maximization of $\lambda_k(\rho)$, the…

For a Riemannian closed spin manifold and under some topological assumption (non-zero $\hat{A}$-genus or enlargeability in the sense of Gromov-Lawson), we give an optimal upper bound for the infimum of the scalar curvature in terms of the…

We investigate properties of the sequences of extremal values that could be achieved by the eigenvalues of the Laplacian on Euclidean domains of unit volume, under Dirichlet and Neumann boundary conditions, respectively. In a second part,…

We consider the problem of minimising the $k$-th eigenvalue of the Laplacian with some prescribed boundary condition over collections of convex domains of prescribed perimeter or diameter. It is known that these minimisation problems are…

We prove the equivalence of Hardy- and Sobolev-type inequalities, certain uniform bounds on the heat kernel and some spectral regularity properties of the Neumann Laplacian associated with an arbitrary region of finite measure in Euclidean…

We establish an explicit maximum principle for the Dirichlet problem associated with the $p$-Laplacian ($p>1$), where the constant depends on both $p$ and the geometry of the domain. From this result we derive two main applications. First,…

Let $M$ be a closed hypersurface in a noncompact rank-1 symmetric space $(\bar{\mathbb{M}}, ds^2)$ with $-4 \leq K_{\bar{\mathbb{M}}} \leq -1,$ or in a complete, simply connected Riemannian manifold $\mathbb{M}$ such that $0 \leq…

We study the Laplace operator on domains subject to Dirichlet or Neumann boundary conditions. We show that these operators admit a bounded $H^{\infty}$-functional calculus on weighted Sobolev spaces, where the weights are powers of the…

Let $(\Omega,g)$ be a compact, real-analytic Riemannian manifold with real-analytic boundary $\partial \Omega.$ The harmonic extensions of the boundary Dirchlet-to-Neumann eigenfunctions are called Steklov eigenfunctions. We show that the…

We extend the buckling and clamped-plate problems to the context of differential forms on compact Riemannian manifolds with smooth boundary. We characterize their smallest eigenvalues and prove that, in the case of bounded Euclidean…
