We study the Laplacian on family preserving metric graphs. These are graphs that have a certain symmetry that, as we show, allows for a decomposition into a direct sum of one-dimensional operators whose properties are explicitly related to…

On a Riemannian manifold we define a one-parameter family of Laplacians acting on sections of any bundle associated to the principal frame bundle via a representation, and show how various examples fit into this framework.

As is known, the Dirichlet-to-Neumann operator $\Lambda$ of a Riemannian surface $(M,g)$ determines the surface up to conformal equivalence class $[(M,g)]$. Such classes constitute the Teichm\"uller space with the distance ${\rm d}_T$. We…

This paper is devoted to the investigation of the spectral theory and dynamical properties of periodic graphs which are not locally finite but carry non-negative, symmetric and summable edge weights. These graphs are shown to exhibit rather…

Let $E$ be a holomorphic vector bundle on a compact K\"ahler manifold $X$. If we fix a metric $h$ on $E$, we get a Laplace operator $\Delta$ acting upon smooth sections of $E$ over $X$. Using the zeta function of $\Delta$, one defines its…

Let $-\Delta_{\cal S}$ be the Laplace operator in ${\cal S} \subset \mathbb{R}^3$ on a waveguide shaped surfaces, i.e., ${\cal S}$ is built by translating a closed curve in a constant direction along an unbounded spatial curve. Under the…

We consider the extrinsic geometry of surfaces in simply isotropic space, a three-dimensional space equipped with a rank 2 metric of index zero. Since the metric is degenerate, a surface normal cannot be unequivocally defined based on…

We discover a fundamental exterior differential system of Riemannian geometry; indeed, an intrinsic and invariant global system of differential forms of degree $n$ associated to any given oriented Riemannian manifold $M$ of dimension $n+1$.…

For any orientable compact surface with boundary, we compute the regularized determinant of the Dirichlet-to-Neumann (DN) map in terms of particular values of dynamical zeta functions by using natural uniformizations, one due to…

We define the notion of an exceptional manifold to be a flat Riemannian manifold with boundary which supports a positive harmonic function satisfying simultaneously a zero Dirichlet condition and a constant (nonzero) Neumann condtion at the…

We show that any generalised smooth distribution on a smooth manifold, possibly of non-constant rank, admits a Riemannian metric. Using such a metric, we attach a Laplace operator to any smooth distribution as such. When the underlying…

Let $(M,g)$ be a compact smoothly stratified pseudomanifold with an iterated cone-edge metric satisfying a spectral Witt condition. Under these assumptions the Hodge-Laplacian $\Delta$ is essentially self-adjoint. We establish the…

The symmetry operators for the Laplacian in flat space were recently described and here we consider the same question for the square of the Laplacian. Again, there is a close connection with conformal geometry. There are three main steps in…

The Laplacian plays a major role in the mathematical analysis of partial differential equations. Recently, the work of J. Kigami, taken up by R. S. Strichartz, allowed the construction of an operator of the same nature, defined locally, on…

It is well known that the spectrum of the Dirichlet Laplacian for a two-dimensional waveguide, which is a local deformation of a straight strip, is unstable with respect to waveguide boundary deformations. This means that, when the…

Given a (possibly singular) Riemannian foliation $\mathcal{F}$ with closed leaves on a compact manifold $M$ with an adapted metric, we investigate the wave trace invariants for the basic Laplacian about a non-zero period. We compare them to…

A description of Lagrangian and Hamiltonian formalisms naturally arisen from the invariance structure of given nonlinear dynamical systems on the infinite--dimensional functional manifold is presented. The basic ideas used to formulate the…

We consider the problem of prescribing the nodal set of the first nontrivial eigenfunction of the Laplacian in a conformal class. Our main result is that, given a separating closed hypersurface $\Sigma$ in a compact Riemannian manifold…

In Riemannian computing applications, it is crucial to map manifold data to a Euclidean domain, where vector space arithmetic is available, and back. Classical manifold theory guarantees the existence of such mappings, called charts and…

Laplace operators on finite compact metric graphs are considered under the assumption that matching conditions at graph vertices are of $\delta$ and $\delta'$ types. Assuming rational independence of edge lengths, necessary and sufficient…
