We study how the number of nodal domains of eigenfunctions of Schr\"odinger operators $-\Delta_{g_t}+V_t$ on closed surfaces changes under smooth perturbations of $(g_t,V_t)$ along convergent eigenbranches. Locally, near each nodal critical…

We prove that in the absence of topological changes, the notion of BV solutions to planar multiphase mean curvature flow does not allow for a mechanism for (unphysical) non-uniqueness. Our approach is based on the local structure of the…

We introduce a $\mathbb{Z}$--coefficient version of Guth's macroscopic stability inequality for almost-minimizing hypersurfaces. In manifolds with a lower bound on macroscopic scalar curvature, we use the inequality to prove a lower bound…
