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…

The aim of the paper is to study the level sets of the solutions of Dirichlet problems for the Levi operator on strongly pseudoconvex domains $\Omega$ in $\mathbb C^2$. Such solutions are generically non smooth, and the geometric properties…

We study a Dirichlet-to-Neumann eigenvalue problem for differential forms on a compact Riemannian manifold with smooth boundary. This problem is a natural generalization of the classical Steklov problem on functions. We derive a number of…

We estimate the probability that the discrete Gaussian free field on a planar domain with Dirichlet boundary conditions stays positive in the bulk. Improving upon the result by Bolthausen, Deuschel and Giacomin from 2001, we derive the…

Consider two domains connected by a thin tube: it can be shown that, generically, the mass of a given eigenfunction of the Dirichlet Laplacian concentrates in only one of them. The restriction to the other domain, when suitably normalized,…

We consider a twisted quantum wave guide, and are interested in the spectral analysis of the associated Dirichlet Laplacian H. We show that if the derivative of rotation angle decays slowly enough at infinity, then there is an infinite…

Using methods in the spirit of deterministic homogenisation theory we obtain convergence of the Steklov eigenvalues of a sequence of domains in a Riemannian manifold to weighted Laplace eigenvalues of that manifold. The domains are obtained…

In this note we study the eigenvalue growth of infinite graphs with discrete spectrum. We assume that the corresponding Dirichlet forms satisfy certain Sobolev-type inequalities and that the total measure is finite. In this sense, the…

First, we provide an exposition of a theorem due to Slodkowski regarding the largest "eigenvalue" of a convex function. In his work on the Dirichlet problem, Slodkowski introduces a generalized second-order derivative which for $C^2$…

Comparing Neumann and Dirichlet eigenvalues of the Laplacian on a bounded domain $\Omega\subseteq\Rbb^n$ is a topic that goes back at least to the work of P\'olya \cite{polya}. We study the effect of the isoperimetric ratio of $\Omega$ on…

In this paper we study the maximum principle, the existence of eigenvalue and the existence of solution for the Dirichlet problem for operators which are fully-nonlinear, elliptic but presenting some singularity or degeneracy which are…

We consider the magnetic Dirichlet Laplacian with constant magnetic field on domains of finite measure. First, in the case of a disk, we prove that the eigenvalue branches with respect to the field strength behave asymptotically linear with…

We consider Lane-Emden ground states with polytropic index $0\leq q-1\leq 1$, that is, minimizers of the Dirichlet integral among $L^q$-normalized functions. Our main result is a sharp lower bound on the $L^2$-norm of the normal derivative…

We investigate properties of the sequences of extremal values that could be achieved by the eigenvalues of the Laplacian on Euclidean domains of unit volume, under Dirichlet and Neumann boundary conditions, respectively. In a second part,…

In this work we consider the homogeneous Neumann eigenvalue problem for the Laplacian on a bounded Lipschitz domain and a singular perturbation of it, which consists in prescribing zero Dirichlet boundary conditions on a small subset of the…
