Courant's theorem implies that the number of nodal domains of a Laplace eigenfunction is controlled by the corresponding eigenvalue. Over the years, there have been various attempts to find an appropriate generalization of this statement in…

We study sharp \(L^2\) bounds for the interior Cauchy transform \(C_D\) on a bounded planar domain \(D\) and clarify its connection with the Dirichlet spectrum. We analyze an approach that replaces fractional Dirichlet powers on \(D\) by…

We show that as the ratio between the first Dirichlet eigenvalues of a convex domain and of the ball with the same volume becomes large, the same must happen to the corresponding ratio of isoperimetric constants. The proof is based on the…

We show the existence of planar domains with one hole for which the first non-trivial Neumann eigenfunction has a closed nodal line fully contained inside the domain. This is optimal, as it is known since Pleijel's 1956 result that the…
