We construct graph selectors for compact exact Lagrangians in the cotangent bundle of an orientable, closed manifold. The construction combines Lagrangian spectral invariants developed by Oh and results by Abouzaid about the Fukaya category…

We give a new proof of a theorem of D. Calegari that says that the Cayley graph of a surface group with respect to any generating set lying in finitely many mapping class group orbits has infinite diameter. This applies, for instance, to…

This paper gives the pointwise H\"older (or multifractal) spectrum of continuous functions on the interval $[0,1]$ whose graph is the attractor of an iterated function system consisting of $r\geq 2$ affine maps on $\mathbb{R}^2$. These…

We construct the infinitesimal generator of the Brox diffusion on a line with a periodic Brownian environment. This gives a new construction of the process and allows to solve the singular martingale problem. We prove that the associated…

We introduce and develop the theory of spectral networks in real contact and symplectic topology. First, we establish the existence and pseudoholomorphic characterization of spectral networks for Lagrangian fillings in the cotangent bundle…

Let $M$ be a connected, noncompact, complete Riemannian manifold, consider the operator $L=\DD +\nn V$ for some $V\in C^2(M)$ with $\exp[V]$ integrable w.r.t. the Riemannian volume element. This paper studies the existence of the spectral…

We study the spectrum of the Finsler--Laplace operator for regular Hilbert geometries, defined by convex sets with $C^2$ boundaries. We show that for an $n$-dimensional geometry, the spectral gap is bounded above by $(n-1)^2/4$, which we…

We prove hypergraph variants of the celebrated Alon-Roichman theorem on spectral expansion of sparse random Cayley graphs. One of these variants implies that for every prime $p\geq 3$ and any $\varepsilon > 0$, there exists a set of…

In this paper, we extend the sharp lower bounds of spectal gap, due to Chen- Wang [10, 11], Bakry-Qian [6] and Andrews-Clutterbuck [5], from smooth Riemaniannian manifolds to general metric measure spaces with Riemannian curvature-dimension…

The phenomenon of spectral mimicry refers to the fact that hypergiants and post-AGB supergiants - stars of different masses in fundamentally different stages of their evolution have similar optical spectra, and also share certain other…

In this article, we analyze the spectrum of discrete magnetic Laplacians (DML) on an infinite covering graph $\widetilde{G} \rightarrow G=\widetilde{G} /\Gamma$ with (Abelian) lattice group $\Gamma$ and periodic magnetic potential…

We develop a general framework for spectral gap inequalities for Gibbs measures on infinite dimensional spin spaces over nilpotent Lie groups in terms of weak U-bounds and weak single-site spectral gap inequalities. We then provide…

In connection to the Fuglede conjecture, and to Fuglede's original work \cite{Fug74}, we study one-parameter unitary groups associated to self-adjoint extensions of the differential operator $Df=\frac1{2\pi i}f'$ on a union of finite…

This paper constructs pavings by affine spaces for the affine Springer fibers for PGL(3) obtained from regular compact elements in a split maximal torus. These pavings are constructed by intersecting the affine Springer fiber with a…

Grating magneto-optical traps are an enabling quantum technology for portable metrological devices with ultracold atoms. However, beam diffraction efficiency and angle are affected by wavelength, creating a single-optic design challenge for…

In this paper we introduce a notion of Poincar\'e exponent for isometric representations of discrete groups on Hilbert spaces. Similarly as growth exponents control the geometry this exponent is shown to control the size of spectral gaps.…

We discuss the problems of uniqueness, sampling and reconstruction with derivatives in the space of bandlimited functions. We prove that if X is sequence of real numbers such that the maximum gap between two consecutive samples is less than…

In the degree-diameter problem for Abelian Cayley and circulant graphs of diameter 2 and arbitrary degree d there is a wide gap between the best lower and upper bounds valid for all d, being quadratic functions with leading coefficient 1/4…

Let $(\Sigma,p)$ be a pointed Riemann surface of genus $g\geq 1$. For any integer $k\geq 1$, we parametrize the space of meromorphic quadratic differentials on $\Sigma$ with a pole of order $(k+2)$ at $p$, having a connected critical graph…
