We study the asymptotic growth of the eigenvalues of the Laplace-Beltrami operator on singular Riemannian manifolds, where all geometrical invariants appearing in classical spectral asymptotics are unbounded, and the total volume can be…

We consider a magnetic Laplacian $-\Delta_A=(id+A)^\star (id+A)$ on a noncompact hyperbolic surface $\mM $ with finite area. $A$ is a real one-form and the magnetic field $dA$ is constant in each cusp. When the harmonic component of $A$…

We establish that every $K$-quasiconformal mapping of $w$ of the unit disk $\ID$ onto a $C^2$-Jordan domain $\Omega$ is Lipschitz provided that $\Delta w\in L^p(\ID)$ for some $p>2$. We also prove that if in this situation $K\to 1$ with…

It is already known that the quantum quartic single-well anharmonic oscillator $V_{ao}(x)=x^2+g^2 x^4$ and double-well anharmonic oscillator $V_{dw}(x)= x^2(1 - gx)^2$ are essentially one-parametric, their eigenstates depend on a…

We discuss the Dirichlet problem of the quasi-linear elliptic system \begin{eqnarray*} -e^{-f(U)}div(e^{f(U)}\bigtriangledown U)+&{1/2}f'(U)|\bigtriangledown U|^2&=0, {in $\Omega$}, & U|_{\partial\Omega}&=\phi. \end{eqnarray*} Here $\Omega$…

We show that there exists an integrable function on the $n$-sphere $(n\ge 2)$, whose Ces\`aro (C,$\frac{n-1}{2}$) means with respect to the spherical harmonic expansion diverge unboundedly almost everywhere. By studying equivalence…

Let $\Omega$ be a domain in $\Ri^d$ with boundary $\Gamma$ and let $d_\Gamma$ denote the Euclidean distance to $\Gamma$. Further let $H=-\divv(C\nabla)$ where $C=(\,c_{kl}\,)>0$ with $c_{kl}=c_{lk}$ are real, bounded, Lipschitz continuous…

In this paper, we investigate eigenvalues of the Dirichlet problem and the closed eigenvalue problem of drifting Laplacian on the complete metric measure spaces and establish the corresponding general formulas. By using those general…

We study a quantum Hamiltonian that is given by the (negative) Laplacian and an infinite chain of $\delta$-like potentials with strength $\kappa>0$ on the half line $\rz_{\geq0}$ and which is equivalent to a one-parameter family of…

We prove Hoelder continuity for n/2-harmonic maps from subsets of Rn into a sphere. This extends a recent one-dimensional result by F. Da Lio and T. Riviere to arbitrary dimensions. The proof relies on compensation effects which we quantify…

This paper is concerned with the magnetic Laplacian $P^h (\A)=(h D+\A)^2$ in semiclassical analysis, where $h$ is a semiclassical parameter. We study the $L^2$ Neumann and Dirichlet problems for the equation $P^h(\A)u=0$ in a bounded…

We consider divergence form elliptic operators L = - div A(x)\nabla, defined in the half space R^{n+1}_+, n \geq 2, where the coefficient matrix A(x) is bounded, measurable, uniformly elliptic, t-independent, and not necessarily symmetric.…

Let $(M,g)$ be a compact, smooth, Riemannian manifold and $\{ \phi_h \}$ an $L^2$-normalized sequence of Laplace eigenfunctions with defect measure $\mu$. Let $H$ be a smooth hypersurface. Our main result says that when $\mu$ is…

The oscillation of a Laplacian eigenfunction gives a great deal of information about the manifold on which it is defined. This oscillation can be encoded in the nodal deficiency, an important geometric quantity that is notoriously hard to…

We prove a sharp isoperimetric inequality for the second nonzero eigenvalue of the Laplacian on $S^m$. For $S^{2}$, the second nonzero eigenvalue becomes maximal as the surface degenerates to two disjoint spheres, by a result of…
