We obtained that any 2-form and any smooth function on 2-manifolds with boundary can be realized as the curvature form and the gaussian curvature function of some Riemmanian metric, respectively.
We study the small eigenvalues of the Hodge Laplacian on collaping torus bundles with bounded curvature. In the first part of this dissertation, we consider examples of bundles on S^1 and T^2 with homogeneous structure. In the second part,…
We investigate in this paper the existence of a metric which maximizes the first eigenvalue of the Laplacian on Riemannian surfaces. We first prove that, in a given conformal class, there always exists such a maximizing metric which is…
We give a new proof of an isoperimetric inequality for a family of closed surfaces, which have Gaussian curvature identically equal to one wherever the surface is smooth. These surfaces are formed from a convex, spherical polygon, with each…
We show that the 2-torus in ${\mathbb R}^3$ is a critical point of a sequence of functionals ${\cal F}_{n}$ ($n=1,2,3, \cdots$) defined over compact 2-surfaces in ${\mathbb R}^3$. When the Lagrange function ${\cal E}$ is a polynomial of…
We study eigenvalues and eigenfunctions of the Laplacian on the surfaces of four of the regular polyhedrons: tetrahedron, octahedron, icosahedron and cube. We show two types of eigenfunctions: nonsingular ones that are smooth at vertices,…
We present asymptotically sharp inequalities, containing a second term, for the Dirichlet and Neumann eigenvalues of the Laplacian on a domain, which are complementary to the familiar Berezin-Li-Yau and Kr\"oger inequalities in the limit as…
In this article, we study the asymptotic behavior of harmonic $2$-forms on $K3$ surfaces with Ricci-flat K\"ahler metrics, where metrics converge to the quotient of a flat $4$-torus by a finite group action. We can show that the space of…
We prove that the Coleman-Mazur eigencurve is proper (over the weight space) at a large class of points.
In this paper, we prove that the Extended Courant Property fails to be true for certain smooth, strictly convex domains with Neumann boundary condition: there exists a linear combination of a second and a first Neumann eigenfunctions, with…
Consider a Dirac operator on an oriented compact surface endowed with a Riemannian metric and spin structure. Provided the area and the conformal class are fixed, how small can the $k$-th positive Dirac eigenvalue be? This problem mirrors…
A real hypersurface in $\mathbb{C}^2$ is said to be Reinhardt if it is invariant under the standard $\mathbb{T}^2$-action on $\mathbb{C}^2$. Its CR geometry can be described in terms of the curvature function of its ``generating curve'',…
We consider arbitrary open sets $\Omega$ in Euclidean space with finite Lebesgue measure, and obtain upper bounds for (i) the largest Courant-sharp Dirichlet eigenvalue of $\Omega$, (ii) the number of Courant-sharp Dirichlet eigenvalues of…
We provide an isoperimetric comparison theorem for small volumes in an $n$-dimensional Riemannian manifold $(M^n,g)$ with strong bounded geometry, as in Definition $2.3$, involving the scalar curvature function. Namely in strong bounded…
We prove a formula for the determinant of Laplacian on an arbitrary compact polyhedral surface of genus one. This formula generalizes the well-known Ray-Singer result for a flat torus. A special case of flat conical metrics given by the…
For the spherical Laplacian on the sphere and for the Dirichlet Laplacian in the square}, Antonie Stern claimed in her PhD thesis (1924) the existence of an infinite sequence of eigenvalues whose corresponding eigenspaces contain an…

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…
The aim of this paper is twofold. In the first part we focus on a functional involving a weighted curvature integral and the quermassintegrals. We prove upper and lower bounds for this functional in the class of convex sets, which provide a…
The main result of this paper is a sharp upper bound on the first positive eigenvalue of Dirac operators in two dimensional simply connected $C^3$-domains with infinite mass boundary conditions. This bound is given in terms of a conformal…
