We prove the Pleijel theorem in non-collapsed RCD spaces, providing an asymptotic upper bound on the number of nodal domains of Laplacian eigenfunctions. As a consequence, we obtain that the Courant nodal domain theorem holds except at most…

Consider partitions of an open, bounded domain in $\mathbb{R}^n$. Then an average element of the partition has either its Fraenkel asymmetry or its deviation from the smallest element in the partition bounded away from 0 by a universal…

We prove an analogue of Pleijel's nodal domain theorem for piecewise analytic planar domains with Neumann boundary conditions. This confirms a conjecture made by Pleijel in 1956. The proof is a combination of Pleijel's original approach and…

We are interested in the number of nodal domains of eigenfunctions of sub-Laplacians on sub-Riemannian manifolds. Specifically, we investigate the validity of Pleijel's theorem, which states that, as soon as the dimension is strictly larger…

In this paper, we show that equality in Courant's nodal domain theorem can only be reached for a finite number of eigenvalues of the Neumann Laplacian, in the case of an open, bounded and connected set in R n with a C 1,1 boundary. This…

A Faber-Krahn type argument gives a sharp lower estimate for the first Dirichlet eigenvalue for subdomains of wedge domains in spheres, generalizing the inequality in the plane, found by Payne and Weinberger. An application is an…

In 1956 $\AA$. Pleijel gave his celebrated theorem showing that the inequality in Courant's theorem on the number of nodal domains is strict for large eigenvalues of the Laplacian. This was a consequence of a stronger result giving an…

Urschel introduced a notion of nodal partitioning to prove an upper bound on the number of nodal decomposition of discrete Laplacian eigenvectors. The result is an analogue to the well-known Courant's nodal domain theorem on continuous…

The classical Szego-Weinberger inequality states that among bounded planar domains of given area, the first nonzero Neumann eigenvalue is maximized by a disk. Recently, it was shown by Girouard, Nadirashvili and Polterovich that, for simply…

We show that fractional (p,p)-Poincar\'e inequalities and even fractional Sobolev-Poincar\'e inequalities hold for bounded John domains, and especially for bounded Lipschitz domains. We also prove sharp fractional (1,p)-Poincar\'e…

We obtain lower bounds for the number of nodal domains of Hecke eigenfunctions on the sphere. Assuming the generalized Lindelof hypothesis we prove that the number of nodal domains of any Hecke eigenfunction grows with the eigenvalue of the…

We provide an explicit expression for the Pleijel constant for the planar disk and some of its sectors, as well as for $N$-dimensional rectangles. In particular, the Pleijel constant for the disk is equal to 0.4613019... Also, we…

We are concerned in this paper with the real eigenfunctions of Schr\"odinger operators. We prove an asymptotic upper bound for the number of their nodal domains, which implies in particular that the inequality stated in Courant's theorem is…

We prove that the number of nodal domains of a density one subsequence of eigenfunctions grows at least logarithmically with the eigenvalue on negatively curved `real Riemann surfaces'. The geometric model is the same as in prior joint work…

We prove an improved Pleijel nodal domain theorem for the Robin eigenvalue problem. In particular we remove the restriction, imposed in previous work, that the Robin parameter be non-negative. We also improve the upper bound in the…

We prove two types of nodal results for density one subsequences of an orthonormal basis $\{\phi_j\}$ of eigenfunctions of the Laplacian on a negatively curved compact surface. The first type of result involves the intersections $Z_{\phi_j}…

We investigate the set of uniform limits of polynomials on any closed Jordan domain with respect to the chordal metric $\chi$ on $\mathbb{C}\cup\{\infty \}$. We conclude that Mergelyan's Theorem may be extended to the case of uniform…

In Part I we gave a polynomial growth lower-bound for the number of nodal domains of a Hecke-Maass cuspform in a compact part of the modular surface, assuming a Lindel\"of hypothesis. That was a consequence of a topological argument and…

In this paper we give a conjectural refinement of the Davenport-Heilbronn theorem on the density of cubic field discriminants. We explain how this refinement is plausible theoretically and agrees very well with computational data.

We extend our discrete uniformization theorems for planar, $m$-connected, Jordan domains [Journal f\"ur die reine und angewandte Mathematik 670 (2012), 65--92] to closed surfaces of non-positive genus.
