We consider the zeros on the boundary $\partial \Omega$ of a Neumann eigenfunction $\phi_{\lambda}$ of a real analytic plane domain $\Omega$. We prove that the number of its boundary zeros is $O (\lambda)$ where $-\Delta \phi_{\lambda} =…

A new approach for constructing minimal submanifolds of codimension 1 in the round spheres is proposed. In the case of $\mathbb{S}^3$ two immersions of the Clifford torus and all Lawson $\tau_{n, m}$ surfaces are described in terms of…

A Laplacian eigenfunction on a two-dimensional Riemannian manifold provides a natural partition into Neumann domains (a.k.a. a Morse--Smale complex). This partition is generated by gradient flow lines of the eigenfunction, which bound the…

This work concerns $L^p$ norms of high energy Laplace eigenfunctions, $(-\Delta_g-\lambda^2)\phi_\lambda=0$, $\|\phi_\lambda\|_{L^2}=1$. In 1988, Sogge gave optimal estimates on the growth of $\|\phi_\lambda\|_{L^p}$ for a general compact…

Let $(M,g)$ be a non-compact riemannian $n$-manifold with bounded geometry at order $k\geq\frac{n}{2}$. We show that if the spectrum of the Laplacian starts with $q+1$ discrete eigenvalues isolated from the essential spectrum, and if the…
