We obtain an essential spectral gap for a convex co-compact hyperbolic surface $M=\Gamma\backslash\mathbb H^2$ which depends only on the dimension $\delta$ of the limit set. More precisely, we show that when $\delta>0$ there exists…

We prove that the imaginary parts of scattering resonances for negatively curved asymptotically hyperbolic surfaces are uniformly bounded away from zero and provide a resolvent bound in the resulting resonance-free strip. This provides an…

We obtain an essential spectral gap for $n$-dimensional convex co-compact hyperbolic manifolds with the dimension $\delta$ of the limit set close to $(n-1)/2$. The size of the gap is expressed using the additive energy of stereographic…

In this paper, we study the problem of scattering by several strictly convex obstacles, with smooth boundary and satisfying a non eclipse condition. We show, in dimension 2 only, the existence of a spectral gap for the meromorphic…

We show directly that the fractal uncertainty principle of Bourgain-Dyatlov [arXiv:1612.09040] implies that there exists $ \sigma > 0 $ for which the Selberg zeta function for a convex co-compact hyperbolic surface has only finitely many…

We prove an explicit formula for the dependence of the exponent in the fractal uncertainty principle of Bourgain-Dyatlov on the dimension and on the regularity constant for the regular set. In particular, this implies an explicit essential…

In contrast to the usual quantum systems which have at most a finite number of open spectral gaps if they are periodic in more than one direction, periodic quantum graphs may have gaps arbitrarily high in the spectrum. This property of…

For asymptotically hyperbolic manifolds with hyperbolic trapped sets we prove a fractal upper bound on the number of resonances near the essential spectrum, with power determined by the dimension of the trapped set. This covers the case of…

Let $X$ be a closed, connected, oriented surface of genus $g$, with a hyperbolic metric chosen at random according to the Weil--Petersson measure on the moduli space of Riemannian metrics. Let $\lambda_1=\lambda_1(X)$ bethe first non-zero…

The paper is concerned with the number of open gaps in spectra of periodic quantum graphs. The well-known conjecture by Bethe and Sommerfeld (1933) says that the number of open spectral gaps for a system periodic in more than one direction…

Let $\Gamma$ be a Schottky subgroup of $\mathrm{SL}_2(\mathbb{Z})$ and let $X=\Gamma\backslash \mathbb{H}^2$ be the associated hyperbolic surface. Conditional on the generalized Riemann hypothesis for quadratic $L$-functions, we establish a…

We prove a new fractal Weyl upper bound for the high-energy distribution of resonances of convex co-compact hyperbolic surfaces which matches the improved spectral gap given by Fourier decay. This improves upon the fractal Weyl bound of…

In this paper, we investigate uniform spectral gaps for Weil-Petersson random hyperbolic surfaces with not many cusps. We show that if $n=O(g^\alpha)$ where $\alpha\in \left[0,\frac{1}{2}\right)$, then for any $\epsilon>0$, a random cusped…

We give a new upper bound on the Selberg zeta function for a convex co-compact Schottky group acting on $ {\mathbb H}^{n+1}$: in strips parallel to the imaginary axis the zeta function is bounded by $ \exp (C |s|^\delta) $ where $ \delta $…

Providing system-size independent lower bounds on the spectral gap of local Hamiltonian is in general a hard problem. For the case of finite-range, frustration free Hamiltonians on a spin lattice of arbitrary dimension, we show that a…

Let $X$ be a simplicial complex with $n$ vertices. A missing face of $X$ is a simplex $\sigma\notin X$ such that $\tau\in X$ for any $\tau\subsetneq \sigma$. For a $k$-dimensional simplex $\sigma$ in $X$, its degree in $X$ is the number of…

The existence of a strong spectral gap for quotients $\Gamma\bs G$ of noncompact connected semisimple Lie groups is crucial in many applications. For congruence lattices there are uniform and very good bounds for the spectral gap coming…

We prove that every family of coverings of any infinite-area, convex cocompact hyperbolic surface has uniform spectral gap, provided that the associated Schreier graphs form a family of two-sided expanders. This extends the results of…
