We show that if two closed hyperbolic surfaces (not necessarily orientable or even connected) have the same Laplace spectrum, then for every length they have the same number of orientation-preserving geodesics and the same number of…

Let $M$ be a closed hypersurface in a noncompact rank-1 symmetric space $(\bar{\mathbb{M}}, ds^2)$ with $-4 \leq K_{\bar{\mathbb{M}}} \leq -1,$ or in a complete, simply connected Riemannian manifold $\mathbb{M}$ such that $0 \leq…

We prove a lower bound for the first eigenvalue of the sub-Laplacian on sub-Riemannian manifolds with transverse symmetries. When the manifold is of H-type, we obtain a corresponding rigidity result: If the optimal lower bound for the first…

We prove that for an embedded minimal surface $\Sigma$ in $S^3$, the first eigenvalue of the Laplacian operator $\lambda_1$ satisfies $\lambda_1\geq 1+\epsilon_g$, where $\epsilon_g>0$ is a constant depending only on the genus $g$ of…

We prove that every closed orientable surface S of negative Euler characteristic admits a pair of finite-degree covers which are length isospectral over S but generically not simple length isospectral over S. To do this, we first…

We consider a magnetic Laplacian on a geometrically finite hyperbolic surface, when the corresponding magnetic field is infinite at the boundary at infinity. We prove that the counting function of the eigenvalues has a particular asymptotic…

For hyperbolic surfaces with geodesic boundary, we study the orthosystole, i.e. the length of a shortest essential arc from the boundary to the boundary. We recover and extend work by Bavard completely characterizing the surfaces maximizing…

Let $\Sigma$ be a surface with $\chi (\Sigma) < 0$, and a representation $\rho $ from the fundamental group $\pi_1 (\Sigma)$ into $ \rm{SL} (2 , \mathbb{C})$. We define the \emph{trace systole} of $\rho$, denoted $\mathrm{tys} (\rho)$ as…

We determine optimal inequalities for the systole of all hyperbolic compact surfaces of caracteristic -1. First, we study the geometry and topology of these surfaces. Then, we describe the action of modular groups on Teichm\"{u}ller spaces.…

We find bounds for the length of the systole -- the shortest essential, non-peripheral closed curve -- for arithmetic punctured spheres with $n$ cusps, for $n=4$ through $n=12$, some of which were previously known due to Schmutz. This is…

For k>6, we determine the minimal area of a compact hyperbolic surface, and an oriented compact hyperbolic surface that can be tiled by embedded regular triangles of angle 2\pi/k. Based on this, all the cases of equality in Laszlo Fejes…
