We study the asymptotic behaviour of the eigenvalues of the Laplace-Beltrami operator on a compact hypersurface in \mathds{R}^{n+1} as it is flattened into a singular double-sided flat hypersurface. We show that the limit spectral problem…
Let $\varphi_{\lambda}$ be an eigenfunction of the Laplace-Beltrami operator on a smooth compact Riemannian manifold $(M,g)$, i.e., $\Delta_g \varphi_{\lambda} + \lambda \varphi_{\lambda}=0$. We show that $\varphi_{\lambda}$ satisfies a…
We consider a class of singular Riemannian metrics on a compact Riemannian manifold with boundary and the eigenfunctions of the corresponding Laplace-Beltrami operator. In our setting, the average density of eigenfunctions with eigenvalue…
We show that eigenvalues and eigenfunctions of the Laplace-Beltrami operator on a Riemannian manifold are approximated by eigenvalues and eigenvectors of a (suitably weighted) graph Laplace operator of a proximity graph on an epsilon-net.
The purpose of this paper is to give a simple proof of sharp $L^\infty$ estimates for the eigenfunctions of the Dirichlet Laplacian on smooth compact Riemannian manifolds $(M,g)$ of dimension $n\ge 2$ with boundary $\partial M$ and then to…
We review the application of the notion of local convergence on locally finite randomly rooted graphs, known as Benjamini-Schramm convergence, to the calculation of the global eigenvalue density of random matrices from the beta-Gaussian and…

We investigate the spatial statistics of the energy eigenfunctions on large quantum graphs. It has previously been conjectured that these should be described by a Gaussian Random Wave Model, by analogy with quantum chaotic systems, for…
This is a survey on eigenfunctions of the Laplacian on Riemannian manifolds (mainly compact and without boundary). We discuss both local results obtained by analyzing eigenfunctions on small balls, and global results obtained by wave…
We prove a quantum ergodicity theorem for sequences of closed hyperbolic surfaces converging to the Poincar\'e disc in the Benjamini-Schramm sense. Assuming a uniform lower bound on the injectivity radius and a spectral gap, we establish…
On the unit tangent bundle of a compact Riemannian surface, we consider a natural sub-Riemannian Laplacian associated with the canonical contact structure. In the large eigenvalue limit, we study the escape of mass at infinity in the…
We prove the convergence of the spectrum of the generator of the kinetic Brownian motion to the spectrum of the base Laplacian for closed Riemannian manifolds. This generalizes recent work of Kolb--Weich--Wolf [arXiv:2011.06434] on constant…
In this paper, we investigate the small scale equidistribution properties of randomised sums of Laplacian eigenfunctions (i.e. random waves) on a compact manifold. We prove small scale expectation and variance results for random waves on…
We deal with eigenvalue problems for the Laplacian on noncompact Riemannian manifolds $M$ of finite volume. Sharp conditions ensuring $L^q(M)$ and $L^\infty (M)$ bounds for eigenfunctions are exhibited in terms of either the isoperimetric…

Eigenvectors and eigenvalues of discrete graph Laplacians are often used for manifold learning and nonlinear dimensionality reduction. It was previously proved by Belkin and Niyogi that the eigenvectors and eigenvalues of the graph…
Motivated by the problem of the small-scale sign distribution of Laplace eigenfunctions, we introduce a strong notion of sign-balance for (eigen)functions, and prove that random eigenfunctions are sign-balanced above a precisely determined…
It is known that, if a locally perturbed periodic self-adjoint operator on a combinatorial or quantum graph admits an eigenvalue embedded in the continuous spectrum, then the associated eigenfunction is compactly supported--that is, if the…
