In this paper, we investigate spectral properties of discrete Laplacians. Our study is based on the Hardy inequality and the use of super-harmonic functions. We recover and improve lower bounds for the bottom of the spectrum and of the…

We study spectral properties of the standard (also called Kirchhoff) Laplacian and the anti-standard (or anti-Kirchhoff) Laplacian on a finite, compact metric graph. We show that the positive eigenvalues of these two operators coincide…

In this paper we extend Yau's celebrated Liouville theorem to the biharmonic case. Namely, we show that in a complete Riemannian manifold with a pole and nonnegative Ricci curvature, any biharmonic function of subquadratic growth must be…

We give a delocalization estimate for eigenfunctions of the discrete Laplacian on large $d+1$-regular graphs, showing that any subset of the graph supporting $\epsilon$ of the $L^2$ mass of an eigenfunction must be large. For graphs…

We consider Laplacians on periodic both discrete and metric equilateral graphs. Their spectrum consists of an absolutely continuous part (which is a union of non-degenerate spectral bands) and flat bands, i.e., eigenvalues of infinite…
