We discuss some equivalence relations between the non-relativistic quantum mechanics for particles subjected to potentials and for particles moving freely on background geometries. In particular, we illustrate how selected geometries can be…
The aim of this note is to study the spectrum of a linearized Liouville-type problem, characterizing the case in which the first eigenvalue is zero. Interestingly enough, we obtain also point-wise information on the associated first…
We draw attention to a novel type of geometric gauge invariance relating the autoparallel equations of motion in different Riemann-Cartan spacetimes with each other. The novelty lies in the fact that the equations of motion are invariant…
Let $G$ denote a near-polygon distance-regular graph with diameter $d\geq 3$, valency $k$ and intersection numbers $a_1>0$, $c_2>1$. Let $\theta_1$ denote the second largest eigenvalue for the adjacency matrix of $G$. We show $\theta_1$ is…
The nonzero eigenvalues of $AB$ are equal to those of $BA$: an identity that holds as long as the products are square, even when $A,B$ are rectangular. This fact naturally suggests an efficient algorithm for computing eigenvalues and…
The article considers an inhomogeneous Erd\H{o}s-R\"enyi random graph on $\{1,\ldots, N\}$, where an edge is placed between vertices $i$ and $j$ with probability $\varepsilon_N f(i/N,j/N)$, for $i\le j$, the choice being made independent…
A geometric inequality in General Relativity relates quantities that have both a physical interpretation and a geometrical definition. It is well known that the parameters that characterize the Kerr-Newman black hole satisfy several…
The eigenvalue method, suggested by the developer of the extensively used Analytic Hierarchy Process methodology, exhibits right-left asymmetry: the priorities derived from the right eigenvector do not necessarily coincide with the…
If the Alday-Maldacena version of string/gauge duality is formulated as an equivalence between double loop and area integrals a la arXiv: 0708.1625, then this pure geometric relation can be tested for various choices of n-side polygons. The…
We provide isoperimetric Szeg\"{o}-Weinberger type inequalities for the first nontrivial Neumann eigenvalue $\mu_{1}(\Omega)$ in Gauss space, where $\Omega$ is a possibly unbounded domain of $\mathbb{R}^{N}$. Our main result consists in…
We present a finer quantitative version of an observation due to Breuillard, Green, Guralnick and Tao which tells that for finite non-bipartite Cayley graphs, once the nontrivial eigenvalues of their normalized adjacency matrices are…
Given a graph with a designated set of boundary vertices, we define a new notion of a Neumann Laplace operator on a graph using a reflection principle. We show that the first eigenvalue of this Neumann graph Laplacian satisfies a Cheeger…
An exact charged axially symmetric solution of the coupled gravitational and electromagnetic fields in the teleparallel equivalent of Einstein theory is derived. It is characterized by three parameters ``$ $the gravitational mass $M$, the…
We obtain a new, exact, solution of the Einstein's equation in higher dimensions. The source is given by a static spherically symmetric, Gaussian distribution of mass and charge. De-localization of mass and charge is due to the presence of…
We study a non local approximation of the Gaussian perimeter, proving the Gamma convergence to the local one. Surprisingly, in contrast with the local setting, the halfspace turns out to be a volume constrained stationary point if and only…
The sum of the first $n \geq 1$ eigenvalues of the Laplacian is shown to be maximal among simplexes for the regular simplex (the regular tetrahedron, in three dimensions), maximal among parallelepipeds for the hypercube, and maximal among…
In this paper, we prove sharp isoperimetric inequalities for lower order eigenvalues of Neumann Laplacian on bounded domains in both compact and noncompact rank-1 symmetric spaces. Our results generalize the work of Wang and Xia for bounded…

We describe min-max formulas for the principal eigenvalue of a $V$-drift Laplacian defined by a vector field $V$ on a geodesic ball of a Riemannian manifold $N$. Then we derive comparison results for the principal eigenvalue with the one of…
We discuss a new formalism for constructing a non-relativistic (NR) theory in curved background. Named as galilean gauge theory, it is based on gauging the global galilean symmetry. It provides a systematic algorithm for obtaining the…
