The eigenvalues of the Laplace-Beltrami operator and the integrals of products of eigenfunctions must satisfy certain consistency conditions on compact Riemannian manifolds. These consistency conditions are derived by using spectral…

For each $q\in{\mathbb{N}}_0$, we construct positive linear polynomial approximation operators $M_n$ that simultaneously preserve $k$-monotonicity for all $0\leq k\leq q$ and yield the estimate \[ |f(x)-M_n(f, x)| \leq c…

The density of the Fisher zeroes, or zeroes of the partition function in the complex temperature plane, is determined for the Ising model in zero field as well as in a pure imaginary field i Pi/2. Results are given for the simple-quartic,…

We use Lie-theoretic methods to explicitly compute the full spectrum of the Laplace--Beltrami operator on homogeneous spheres which occur as geodesic distance spheres in (compact or noncompact) symmetric spaces of rank one, and provide a…

The main objective of this dissertation is to analyse thoroughly the construction of self-adjoint extensions of the Laplace-Beltrami operator defined on a compact Riemannian manifold with boundary and the role that quadratic forms play to…

Let $f(t_1,\ldots,t_n)$ be a nondegenerate integral quadratic form. We analyze the asymptotic behavior of the function $D_f(X)$, the number of integers of absolute value up to $X$ represented by $f$. When $f$ is isotropic or $n$ is at least…

We find an infinite set of eigenfunctions for the Laplacian with respect to a flat metric with conical singularities and acting on degree zero bundles over special Riemann surfaces of genus greater than one. These special surfaces…

We consider sequences of metrics, $g_j$, on a Riemannian manifold, $M$, which converge smoothly on compact sets away from a singular set $S\subset M$, to a metric, $g_\infty$, on $M\setminus S$. We prove theorems which describe when…

In this article we examine the concentration and oscillation effects developed by high-frequency eigenfunctions of the Laplace operator in a compact Riemannian manifold. More precisely, we are interested in the structure of the possible…

In this paper we consider functions of the type $$f(x) = \sum_{n=0}^\infty a_n g(b_nx+\theta_n),$$ where $(a_n)$ are independent random variables uniformly distributed on $(-a^n, a^n)$ for some $0<a<1$, $b_{n+1}/b_n \geq b >1$, $a^2b> 1$…

The paper deals with asymptotic nodal geometry for the Laplace-Beltrami operator on closed surfaces. Given an eigenfunction f corresponding to a large eigenvalue, we study local asymmetry of the distribution of sign(f) with respect to the…

We prove trace identities for commutators of operators, which are used to derive sum rules and sharp universal bounds for the eigenvalues of periodic Schroedinger operators and Schroedinger operators on immersed manifolds. In particular, we…

Let $(M,g)$ be a compact Riemannian manifold and $P_g$ an elliptic, formally self-adjoint, conformally covariant operator of order $m$ acting on smooth sections of a bundle over $M$. We prove that if $P_g$ has no rigid eigenspaces (see…

In these lectures we present some useful techniques to study quantitative properties of solutions of elliptic PDEs. Our aim is to outline a proof of a recent result on propagation of smallness. The ideas are also useful in the study of the…

Let $D$ be the open unit disc in the complex plane. We denote by $\mathbb{C}$ the set of complex numbers and consider any compact set $K$ which is disjoint from $D$ and which also has connected complement. Let $A(K)$ denote all the…

Let $K$ be a number field and, for an integral ideal $\mathfrak{q}$ of $K$, let $\chi$ be a character of the narrow ray class group modulo $\mathfrak{q}$. We establish various new and improved explicit results, with effective dependence on…

Let $(M,g)$ be a compact, smooth, Riemannian manifold and $\{ \phi_h \}$ an $L^2$-normalized sequence of Laplace eigenfunctions with defect measure $\mu$. Let $H$ be a smooth hypersurface. Our main result says that when $\mu$ is…

We extend the estimates proved by Donnelly and Fefferman and by Lebeau and Robbiano for sums of eigenfunctions of the Laplacian (on a compact manifold) to estimates for sums of eigenfunctions of any positive and elliptic pseudo-differential…
