We consider the question of when the Laplace eigenfunctions on an arbitrary flat torus $\mathbf{T}_\Gamma:=\mathbf{R}^d/\Gamma$ are flexible enough to approximate, over the natural length scale of order $1/\sqrt\lambda$, where $\lambda\gg1$…

Consider the Laplacian in a bounded domain in R^d with general (mixed) homogeneous boundary conditions. We prove that its eigenfunctions are `quasi-orthogonal' on the boundary with respect to a certain norm. Boundary orthogonality is proved…

We study the spectrum of the semiclassical Witten Laplacian $\Delta_{f}$ associated to a smooth function $f$ on ${\mathbb R}^d$. We assume that $f$ is a confining Morse--Bott function. Under this assumption we show that $\Delta_{f}$ admits…

We provide a detailed proof of the fact that any domain which is sufficiently flat in the sense of Reifenberg is also Jones-flat, and hence it is an extension domain. We discuss various applications of this property, in particular we obtain…

The second eigenfunction of the Neumann Laplacian on convex, planar domains is considered. Inspired by the famous hot spots conjecture and a related result of Steinerberger, we show that potential critical points of this eigenfunction (and,…

The eigenfunctions of the Laplacian are a central object from the realms of analytic number theory to geometric analysis. We prove that H\"ormander $L^2$-$L^{\infty}$ estimates are equivalent to restriction estimates to small geodesic…
