Suppose that $M$ is a compact Riemannian manifold with boundary and $u$ is an $L^2$-normalized Dirichlet eigenfunction with eigenvalue $\lambda$. Let $\psi$ be its normal derivative at the boundary. Scaling considerations lead one to expect…

We take an open regular domain $\Omega$ in $\mathbb{R}^n$ with $n\ge 3$. We introduce a pair of positive parameters $\epsilon_1$ and $\epsilon_2$ and we set $\epsilon\equiv(\epsilon_1,\epsilon_2)$. Then we define the perforated domain…

Let $\Omega\subset\mathbb{R}^d$ be any open set. We consider solutions of $H\psi_\lambda=\lambda \psi_\lambda$, $\lambda\in\mathbb{C}$, where $H$ is an $m$th order complex constant-coefficient elliptic partial differential operator. We…

For $0<\alpha<1$ let $V(\alpha)$ denote the supremum of the numbers $v$ such that every $\alpha$-H\"older continuous function is of bounded variation on a set of Hausdorff dimension $v$. Kahane and Katznelson (2009) proved the estimate $1/2…

We study the spectrum of the Robin Laplacian with a complex Robin parameter $\alpha$ on a bounded Lipschitz domain $\Omega$. We start by establishing a number of properties of the corresponding operator, such as generation properties, local…

For certain compactly supported metric and/or potential perturbations of the Laplacian on $\mathbb{H}^{n+1}$, we establish an upper bound on the resonance counting function with an explicit constant that depends only on the dimension, the…

The Trudinger-Moser inequality states that for functions $u \in H_0^{1,n}(\Omega)$ ($\Omega \subset \mathbb R^n$ a bounded domain) with $\int_\Omega |\nabla u|^ndx \le 1$ one has $\int_\Omega (e^{\alpha_n|u|^{\frac n{n-1}}}-1)dx \le c…

We investigate symmetry and quantitative approximate symmetry for an overdetermined problem related to the fractional torsion equation in a regular open, bounded set $\Omega \subseteq \mathbb{R}^n$. Specifically, we show that if…

A bounded operator $u$ on $X$ is called rigid when there is an increasing sequence of positive integers $(n_k)_{k\geq 1}$, such that for every $x$ in $X$ we have $\lim_{k \rightarrow +\infty} u^{n_k} x = x$. For any $r$ in $[0,1]$, we…

Let $T^m$ be the $m$-dimensional unit torus, $m \in N$. The torsional rigidity of an open set $\Omega \subset T^m$ is the integral with respect to Lebesgue measure over all starting points $x \in \Omega$ of the expected lifetime in $\Omega$…
