Compact polyhedral surfaces (or, equivalently, compact Riemann surfaces with conformal flat conical metrics) of an arbitrary genus are considered. After giving a short self-contained survey of their basic spectral properties, we study the…
We present a new approach to the theory of k-forms on self-similar fractals. We work out the details for two examples, the standard Sierpinski gasket and the 3-dimensional Sierpinski gasket, but the method is expected to be effective for…
This paper introduces a general construction of self-similar metric spaces as limits of discrete graphs. Our framework produces many classical examples, such as the Sierpi\'nski carpet and the higher dimensional Menger sponges, but also a…

We prove the Harnack inequality for antisymmetric $s$-harmonic functions, and more generally for solutions of fractional equations with zero-th order terms, in a general domain. This may be used in conjunction with the method of moving…
We extend a classical approximation result of harmonic functions in planar domains due to Bernstein and Walsch to the setting of harmonic functions in Riemann surfaces. This result gives an exact characterization of the rate at which a…
We consider Laplacian Growth of self-similar domains in different geometries. Self-similarity determines the analytic structure of the Schwarz function of the moving boundary. The knowledge of this analytic structure allows us to derive the…
We study eigenvalues and eigenfunctions of the Laplacian on the surfaces of four of the regular polyhedrons: tetrahedron, octahedron, icosahedron and cube. We show two types of eigenfunctions: nonsingular ones that are smooth at vertices,…
We show that the driving force behind the regularizing effect of Laplacian smoothing on surface elements is the popular mean ratio quality measure. We use these insights to provide natural generalizations to polygons and polyhedra. The…
