Let $U\subset \mathbb{R}^n$ ($n\geq 3$) be an exterior Euclidean domain with smooth boundary $\partial U$. We consider the Steklov eigenvalue problem on $U$. First we derive a sharp lower bound for the first eigenvalue in terms of the…
We give a proof that the first eigenfunction of the $\alpha$-symmetric stable process on a bounded Lipschitz domain in $\R^d$, $d\geq 1$, is superharmonic for $\alpha=2/m$, where $m>2$ is an integer. This result was first proved for the…
We study the global behavior of (weakly) stable constant mean curvature hypersurfaces in general Riemannian manifolds. By using harmonic function theory, we prove some one-end theorems which are new even for constant mean curvature…
We show marginal stability of near-ground states in spherical spin glasses is equivalent to full replica symmetry breaking at zero temperature near overlap $1$. This connection has long been implicit in the physics literature, which also…
We establish a new lower bound for the first non-zero Steklov eigenvalue of a compact Riemannian manifold with non-negative Ricci curvature and (strictly) convex boundary. Related results are also obtained under weaker geometric hypotheses.
Stable compact minimal submanifolds of the product of a sphere and any Riemannian manifold are classified whenever the dimension of the sphere is at least three. The complete classification of the stable compact minimal submanifolds of the…
The eigenvalue bounds obtained earlier [J. Phys. A: Math. Gen. 31 (1998) 963] for smooth transformations of the form V(x) = g(x^2) + f(1/x^2) are extended to N-dimensions. In particular a simple formula is derived which bounds the…
We consider a range of geometric stability problems for hypersurfaces of spaceforms. One of the key results is an estimate relating the distance to a geodesic sphere of an embedded hypersurface with integral norms of the traceless Hessian…
Let \((M,\omega)\) be a compact symplectic manifold of dimension \(2n\) endowed with a Hamiltonian circle action with only isolated fixed points. Whenever \(M\) admits a toric \(1\)-skeleton \(\mathcal{S}\), which is a special collection of…
In this paper we give a new general method to describe all Kaehler scalar flat metrics on $U(n)$-invariant domains of C^n in a way to be able to detect easily whether it can be completed to larger domains and which kind of ends they can…
In this article, we study Steklov eigenvalues and mixed Steklov Neumann eigenvalues on a smooth bounded domain in $\mathbb{R}^{n}$, $n \geq 2$, having a spherical hole. We focus on two main results related to Steklov eigenvalues. First, we…
This paper concerns some stability properties of higher dimensional catenoids in $\rr^{n+1}$ with $n\ge 3$. We prove that higher dimensional catenoids have index one. We use $\delta$-stablity for minimal hypersurfaces and show that the…
We prove results for free-boundary hypersurfaces in the upper unit hemisphere $\mathbb{S}^{n+1}_{+}$ of $\mathbb{R}^{n+2}$. First we show that if the norm squared of the second fundamental form is constant, the Morse index of a…
Let $\Omega$ be a star-shaped bounded domain in $(\mathbb{S}^{n}, ds^{2})$ with smooth boundary. In this article, we give a sharp lower bound for the first non-zero eigenvalue of the Steklov eigenvalue problem in $\Omega.$ This result is…
In this paper, we give an explicit second variation formula for a biharmonic hypersurface in a Riamannian manifold similar to that of a minimal hypersurface. We then use the second variation formula to compute the stability index of the…
We obtain lower bounds for the first Laplacian eigenvalues of geodesic balls of spherically symmetric manifolds. These lower bounds are only $C^{0}$ dependent on the metric coefficients.
Let $M^4\to \mathbb{S}^5$ be a closed immersed minimal hypersurface with constant squared length of the second fundamental form $S$ in a $5$-dimensional sphere $\mathbb{S}^5$. In this paper, we prove that if $3$-mean curvature $H_3$ and the…
Llarull's theorem characterizes the round sphere $S^n$ among all spin manifolds whose scalar curvature is bounded from below by $n(n-1)$. In this paper we show that if the scalar curvature is bounded from below by $n(n-1)-\varepsilon$, the…
In [5], Colding-Ilmanen-Minicozzi-White showed that within the class of closed smooth self-shrinkers in $\mathbb{R}^{n+1}$, the entropy is uniquely minimized at the round sphere. They conjectured that, for $2\leq n\leq 6$, the round sphere…
