We study eigenfunctions and eigenvalues of the Dirichlet Laplacian on a bounded domain $\Omega\subset\RR^n$ with piecewise smooth boundary. We bound the distance between an arbitrary parameter $E > 0$ and the spectrum $\{E_j \}$ in terms of…

We investigate, on a bounded domain $\Omega$ of $\R^2$ with fixed $S^1$-valued boundary condition $g$ of degree $d>0$, the asymptotic behaviour of solutions $u_{\varepsilon,\delta}$ of a class of Ginzburg-Landau equations driven by two…

In this paper, we study local minimizers of a degenerate version of the Alt-Caffarelli functional. Specifically, we consider local minimizers of the functional $J_{Q}(u, \Omega):= \int_{\Omega} |\nabla u|^2 + Q(x)^2\chi_{\{u>0\}}dx$ where…

On a closed analytic manifold $(M,g)$, let $\phi_i$ be the eigenfunctions of $\Delta_g$ with eigenvalues $\lambda_i^2$ and let $f:=\prod \phi_{k_j}$ be a finite product of Laplace-Beltrami eigenfunctions. We show that $\left\langle f,…

Let $g$ be a Hecke-Maass cusp form on the modular surface ${\rm SL}_2(\mathbb{Z})\backslash\mathbb{H}$, namely an $L^2$-normalised nonconstant Laplacian eigenfunction on ${\rm SL}_2(\mathbb{Z})\backslash\mathbb{H}$ that is additionally a…

Let $G$ be a compact connected Lie group and let $K$ be a closed subgroup of $G$. In this paper we study whether the functional $g\mapsto \lambda_1(G/K,g)\operatorname{diam}(G/K,g)^2$ is bounded among $G$-invariant metrics $g$ on $G/K$.…

The link between compressible models of tissue growth and the Hele-Shaw free boundary problem of fluid mechanics has recently attracted a lot of attention. In most of these models, only repulsive forces and advection terms are taken into…

In this paper, we consider the well-known following shape optimization problem: $$\lambda_2(\Omega^*)=\min_{\stackrel{|\Omega|=V_0} {\Omega\textrm{ convex}}} \lambda_2(\Omega),$$ where $\lambda_2(\Om)$ denotes the second eigenvalue of the…

We consider the localization of eigenfunctions for the operator $L=-\mbox{div} A \nabla + V$ on a Lipschitz domain $\Omega$ and, more generally, on manifolds with and without boundary. In earlier work, two authors of the present paper…

In the continuous setting, we expect the product of two oscillating functions to oscillate even more (generically). On a graph $G=(V,E)$, there are only $|V|$ eigenvectors of the Laplacian $L=D-A$, so one oscillates `the most'. The purpose…

On a family of arithmetic hyperbolic 3-manifolds of squarefree level, we prove an upper bound for the sup-norm of Hecke-Maass cusp forms, with a power saving over the local geometric bound simultaneously in the Laplacian eigenvalue and the…

We show that one can obtain logarithmic improvements of $L^2$ geodesic restriction estimates for eigenfunctions on 3-dimensional compact Riemannian manifolds with constant negative curvature. We obtain a $(\log\lambda)^{-\frac12}$ gain for…

We prove the existence of limits of real-analytic Laplace eigenvalue branches for real-analytic families of metrics that degenerate along a compact hypersurface.

If $(M,g)$ is a compact Riemannian surface then the integrals of $L^2(M)$-normalized eigenfunctions $e_j$ over geodesic segments of fixed length are uniformly bounded. Also, if $(M,g)$ has negative curvature and $\gamma(t)$ is a geodesic…

Let $H\subset \R^{d+1}$ be a compact, convex, analytic hypersurface of finite type with a smooth measure $\sigma $ on $H$. Let $\kappa$ denote the Gaussian curvature on $H$. We consider the oscillatory integral $(\kappa^{1/2}…

In the present survey we present some of the recent results concerning the geometry of nodal lines of random Gaussian eigenfunctions (in case of spectral degeneracies) or wavepackets and related issues. The most fundamental example, where…

In this paper, we give a lower bound for the spectrum of the Laplacian on minimal hypersurfaces immersed into $H^m \times R$. As an application, in dimension 2, we prove that a complete minimal surface with finite total extrinsic curvature…

Let $(M,g)$ be a compact Riemannian manifold and $P_1:=-h^2\Delta_g+V(x)-E_1$ so that $dp_1\neq 0$ on $p_1=0$. We assume that $P_1$ is quantum completely integrable in the sense that there exist functionally independent pseuodifferential…

We are interested in the thermal insulation of a bounded open set $\Omega$ surrounded by a set whose thickness is locally described by $\varepsilon h$, where $h$ is a non-negative function defined on the boundary $\partial\Omega$. We study…
