We prove two types of nodal results for density one subsequences of an orthonormal basis $\{\phi_j\}$ of eigenfunctions of the Laplacian on a negatively curved compact surface. The first type of result involves the intersections $Z_{\phi_j}…

The celebrated P\'{o}lya's conjecture (1954) in spectral geometry states that the eigenvalue counting functions of the Dirichlet and Neumann Laplacian on a bounded Euclidean domain can be estimated from above and below, respectively, by the…

We are interested in inequalities that bound the Riesz means of the eigenvalues of the Dirichlet and Neumann Laplacians in terms of their semiclassical counterpart. We show that the classical inequalities of Berezin-Li-Yau and Kr\"oger,…

In this paper, we use a weighted isoperimetric inequality to give a lower bound on the first Dirichlet eigenvalue of the Laplacian on a bounded domain inside a Euclidean cone. Our bound is sharp, in that only sectors realize it. This result…

The aim of this paper is twofold: First, we characterize an essentially optimal class of boundary operators $\Theta$ which give rise to self-adjoint Laplacians $-\Delta_{\Theta, \Omega}$ in $L^2(\Omega; d^n x)$ with (nonlocal and local)…

We discuss the asymptotic lower bound on the inner radius of nodal domains that arise from Laplacian eigenfunctions $ \phi_\lambda $ on a closed Riemannian manifold $ (M,g) $. First, in the real-analytic case we present an improvement of…
