We study Blaschke-Santal\'o diagrams associated to the torsional rigidity and the first eigenvalue of the Laplacian with Dirichlet boundary conditions. We work under convexity and volume constraints, in both strong (volume exactly one) and…

The Steklov eigenvalue problem was introduced over a century ago, and its discrete form attracted interest recently. Let $D$ and $\delta \Omega$ be the maximum vertex degree and the set of vertices of degree one in a graph $\mathcal{G}$…

This paper investigates the spectral properties of two classes of elliptic problems characterized by mixed Steklov-Robin boundary conditions. Our main objective is to prove that, for a generic domain, all the eigenvalues are simple. This…

This paper develops new tools for understanding surfaces with more than one end (and usually, of infinite topology) which properly minimally embed into Euclidean three-space. On such a surface, the set of ends forms a compact Hausdorff…

We construct surfaces with arbitrarily large multiplicity for their first non-zero Steklov eigenvalue. The proof is based on a technique by M. Burger and B. Colbois originally used to prove a similar result for the Laplacian spectrum. We…

We consider Steklov eigenvalues of nearly circular domains in $\R^{2}$ of fixed unitary area. In \cite{viator2018}, the authors treated such domains as perturbations of the disk, and they computed the first-order term of the asymptotic…

We study Laplace eigenvalues $\lambda_k$ on K\"ahler manifolds as functionals on the space of K\"ahler metrics with cohomologous K\"ahler forms. We introduce a natural notion of a $\lambda_k$-extremal K\"ahler metric and obtain necessary…

We study the topology of (properly) immersed complete minimal surfaces $P^2$ in Hyperbolic and Euclidean spaces which have finite total extrinsic curvature, using some isoperimetric inequalities satisfied by the extrinsic balls in these…

We prove that the area of each nonflat genus zero free boundary minimal surface embedded in the unit $3$-ball is less than the area of its radial projection to $\mathbb{S}^2$. The inequality is asymptotically sharp, and we prove any…

First we establish a weighted Reilly formula for differential forms on a smooth compact oriented Riemannian manifold with boundary. Then we give two applications of this formula when the manifold satisfies certain geometric conditions. One…

We obtain sharp upper bounds for the first two nonzero Steklov eigenvalues among bounded domains in Euclidean spaces of dimension $d \geq 7$ under a natural normalization involving volume and boundary measure. These bounds are derived from…
