Let $(M,g)$ be a compact $n$-dimensional Riemannian manifold without boundary and $e_\lambda$ be an $L^2$-normalized eigenfunction of the Laplace-Beltrami operator with respect to the metric $g$, i.e \[ -\Delta_g e_\lambda = \lambda^2…

We study products of eigenfunctions of the Laplacian $-\Delta \phi_{\lambda} = \lambda \phi_{\lambda}$ on compact manifolds. If $\phi_{\mu}, \phi_{\lambda}$ are two eigenfunctions and $\mu \leq \lambda$, then one would perhaps expect their…

The Laplace-Beltrami operator on (the surface of) a triaxial ellipsoid admits a sequence of real eigenvalues diverging to plus infinity. By introducing ellipsoidal coordinates, this eigenvalue problem for a partial differential operator is…

- The purpose of this article is to study possible concentrations of eigenfunc-tions of Laplace operators (or more generally quasi-modes) on product manifolds. We show that the approach of the first author and Zworski [10, 11] applies…

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…

The Baran metric $\delta_E$ is a Finsler metric on the interior of $E\subset \R^n$ arising from Pluripotential Theory. We consider the few instances, namely $E$ being the ball, the simplex, or the sphere, where $\delta_E$ is known to be…
