Our goal in this paper is to find an estimate for the spectral gap of the Laplacian on a 2-simplicial complex consisting on a triangulation of a complete graph. An upper estimate is given by generalizing the Cheeger constant. The lower…

Let $L_t:=\Delta_t+Z_t$ for a $C^{1,1}$-vector field $Z$ on a differential manifold $M$ with boundary $\partial M$, where $\Delta_t$ is the Laplacian induced by a time dependent metric $g_t$ differentiable in $t\in [0,T_c)$. We first…

Spectral diffusion is a result of random spectral jumps of a narrow line as a result of a fluctuating environment. It is an important issue in spectroscopy, because the observed spectral broadening prevents access to the intrinsic line…

Mathematical diffraction theory is concerned with the analysis of the diffraction measure of a translation bounded complex measure $\omega$. It emerges as the Fourier transform of the autocorrelation measure of $\omega$. The mathematically…

In this article, we continue the discussion of Fang-Wu (2015) to estimate the spectral gap of the Ornstein-Uhlenbeck operator on path space over a Riemannian manifold of pinched Ricci curvature. Along with explicit estimates we study the…

We develop a method for producing estimates on the spectral gaps of reversible Markov jump processes with chaotic invariant measures, and we apply it to prove the Kac conjecture for hard sphere collision in three dimensions.

Integration by parts formulae are given for a class of measures on the space of paths of a smooth manifold $M$ determined by the laws of degenerate diffusions. The mother of such formulae, on the path space of diffeomorphism group of $M$ is…
