Let $T$ be a finite tree with leaf set $\dO$ as the boundary and let $\lambda_2$ be the first nontrivial Steklov eigenvalue. Let $D$ and $\ell$ be the maximum vertex degree and the number of leaves, respectively. Motivated by the spectral…

Myers shows that every compact, connected, orientable $3$--manifold with no $2$--sphere boundary components contains a hyperbolic knot. We use work of Ikeda with an observation of Adams-Reid to show that every $3$--manifold subject to the…

We study a Dirichlet-to-Neumann eigenvalue problem for differential forms on a compact Riemannian manifold with smooth boundary. This problem is a natural generalization of the classical Steklov problem on functions. We derive a number of…

Green's inequality shows that a compact Riemannian manifold with scalar curvature at least $n(n-1)$ has injectivity radius at most $\pi$, and that equality is achieved only for the radius 1 sphere. In this work we show how extra topological…

We study the first nonzero Steklov eigenvalue $\lambda_2(T,\delta\Omega)$ of the Dirichlet-to-Neumann operator on a finite tree $T$ with leaf boundary $\delta\Omega$, under a constraint on the diameter $D$. He and Hua [Calc. Var. PDE, 2022]…

We study the counting function of Steklov eigenvalues on compact manifolds with boundary and obtain its upper bound involving the leading term of Weyl's law. Our estimate can be viewed as a weakened version of P\'{o}lya's Conjecture in the…

We develop a numerical method for solving shape optimization of functionals involving Steklov eigenvalues and apply it to the problem of maximization of the $k$-th Steklov eigenvalue, under volume constraint. A similar study in the planar…

We show that for generic Riemannian metrics on a simply-connected closed spin manifold of dimension at least 5 the dimension of the space of harmonic spinors is no larger than it must be by the index theorem. The same result holds for…

In this paper we consider Riemannian manifolds of dimension at least $3$, with nonnegative Ricci curvature and Euclidean Volume Growth. For every open bounded subset with smooth boundary we establish the validity of an optimal Minkowski…

We obtain upper bounds for the Steklov eigenvalues of warped products $\Omega\times_h\Sigma$, where $\Omega$ is a compact Riemannian manifold with boundary and $\Sigma$ is a closed Riemannian manifold. These bounds involve the volume of…

In this paper, using new correction to the Crouzeix-Raviart finite element eigenvalue approximations, we obtain lower eigenvalue bounds for the Steklov eigenvalue problem with variable coefficients on d-dimensional domains (d = 2,3). In…

The second eigenvalue of the Robin Laplacian is shown to be maximal for the disk among simply-connected planar domains of fixed area when the Robin parameter is scaled by perimeter in the form $\alpha/L(\Omega)$, and $\alpha$ lies between…

We consider the question of giving an upper bound for the first nontrivial eigenvalue of the Wentzell-Laplace operator of a domain $\Omega$, involving only geometrical informations. We provide such an upper bound, by generalizing Brock's…

In the present paper, we study the variational properties of Steklov transmission eigenvalues, which can be seen as eigenvalues of the sum of two Dirichlet-to-Neumann operators on two different sides of a given curve contained in a surface.…

We give two infinite families of examples of closed, orientable, irreducible 3-manifolds $M$ such that $b_1(M)=1$ and $\pi_1(M)$ has weight 1, but $M$ is not the result of Dehn surgery along a knot in the 3-sphere. This answers a question…

Recently, Hodgson and Kerckhoff found a small bound on Dehn surgered 3-manifolds from hyperbolic knots not admitting hyperbolic structures using deformations of hyperbolic cone-manifolds. They asked whether the area normalized meridian…

We study the Yamabe invariant of manifolds obtained as connected sums along submanifolds of codimension greater than 2. In particular, given a compact smooth manifold M which does not admit metrics of positive scalar curvature, we prove…
