Let $\Omega$ be some domain in the hyperbolic space $\Hn$ (with $n\ge 2$) and $S_1$ the geodesic ball that has the same first Dirichlet eigenvalue as $\Omega$. We prove the Payne-P\'olya-Weinberger conjecture for $\Hn$, i.e., that the…

The following conjecture has been known for many decades as Schiffer's symmetry problem (or Schiffer's conjecture): Assume that $\Delta u+k^2u=0$ in $D$, $u|_S=0$, $u_N|_S=1$, where $D\subset \mathbb{R}^3$ is a bounded, connected,…

We discuss a sharp lower bound for the first positive eigenvalue of the sublaplacian on a closed, strictly pseudoconvex pseudo-hermitian manifold of dimension $2m+1\geq 5$. We prove that the equality holds iff the manifold is equivalent to…

Antonio Ros gave a lower bound for the first eigenvalue $\lambda_1$ of $\Delta$ of a $P$-manifold $(M, g)$ in terms of the lower bound on the Ricci curvature $Ric_M$ and asked what happened when this lower bound was achieved. In this paper…

In this paper, we proved that for a bounded Hopf-symmetric domain $\Omega$ in a noncompact rank one symmetric space $M$, the second Dirichlet eigenvalue $\lambda_2 (\Omega) \leq \lambda_2 (B_1)$ where $B_1$ is a geodesic ball in $M$ such…

In this paper we are interested in the following fourth order eigenvalue problem coming from the buckling of thin films on liquid substrates: \begin{equation*} \begin{cases} \Delta^2 u+ \kappa^2 u=-\lambda \Delta u &\text{in } B_1,\newline…

Let $ (M,\omega_g) $ be a complete K\"ahler manifold of complex dimension $n$. We prove that if the holomorphic sectional curvature satisfies $\mathrm{HSC} \geq 2 $, then the first eigenvalue $\lambda_1$ of the Laplacian on $(M,\omega_g)$…

An embedded free boundary minimal surface in the 3-ball has a Steklov eigenvalue of one due to its coordinate functions. Fraser and Li conjectured that whether one is the first nonzero Steklov eigenvalue. In this paper, we show that if an…

For almost all Riemannian metrics (in the $C^\infty$ Baire sense) on a closed manifold $M^{n+1}$, $3\leq (n+1)\leq 7$, we prove that the union of all closed, smooth, embedded minimal hypersurfaces is dense. This implies there are infinitely…
