We show that metrics that maximize the k-th Steklov eigenvalue on surfaces with boundary arise from free boundary minimal surfaces in the unit ball. We prove several properties of the volumes of these minimal submanifolds. For free boundary…

We establish high probability estimates on the eigenvalue locations of Brownian motion on the $N$-dimensional unitary group, as well as estimates on the number of eigenvalues lying in any interval on the unit circle. These estimates are…

Shape optimization problems for interior eigenvalues is a very challenging task since already the computation of interior eigenvalues for a given shape is far from trivial. For example, a concrete maximizer with respect to shapes of fixed…
