The celebrated conjecture by Payne, P\'{o}lya and Weinberger (1956) states that for the fixed membrane problem, the ratio of the first two eigenvalues, $\lambda_2/\lambda_1$, is maximized by a disk. A more general dimensional version of…

This paper is concerned with the lower bounds for the principal frequency of the $p$-Laplacian on $n$-dimensional Euclidean domains. In particular, we extend the classical results involving the inner radius of a domain and the first…

Let $\Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^d$ be a quasiconvex Lipschitz domain and $A(x)$ be a $d \times d$ uniformly elliptic, symmetric matrix with Lipschitz coefficients. Assume a nontrivial $u$ solves $-\nabla \cdot (A(x) \nabla u) = 0$ in…

We consider the higher order buckling eigenvalues of the following Dirichlet poly-Laplacian in the unit sphere $(-\Delta)^p u=\Lambda (-\Delta) u$ with order $p(\geq2)$. We obtain universal bounds on the $(k+1)$th eigenvalue in terms of the…

We give an elementary new proof of the hot spots conjecture for L-shaped domains. This result, in addition to a new eigenvalue inequality, allows us to locate the hot spots in Swiss cross translation surfaces. We then prove, in several…

We investigate a problem posed by L. Hauswirth, F. H\'elein, and F. Pacard, namely, to characterize all the domains in the plane that admit a "roof function", i.e., a positive harmonic function which solves simultaneously a Dirichlet…

In this paper, we prove new pinching theorems for the first eigenvalue of the Laplacian on compact hypersurfaces of the Euclidean space. These pinching results are associated with the upper bound for the first eigenvalue in terms of higher…

We prove a two-term Weyl-type asymptotic formula for sums of eigenvalues of the Dirichlet Laplacian in a bounded open set with Lipschitz boundary. Moreover, in the case of a convex domain we obtain a universal bound which correctly…

We study the nodal set of the Steklov eigenfunctions on the boundary of a smooth bounded domain in $\mathbb{R}^n$ - the eigenfunctions of the Dirichlet-to-Neumann map. Under the assumption that the domain $\Omega$ is $C^2$, we prove a…

This article concerns the Weyl series of spectral functions associated with the Dirichlet Laplacian in a $d$-dimensional domain with a smooth boundary. In the case of the heat kernel, Berry and Howls predicted the asymptotic form of the…

For a domain $\Omega$ contained in a hemisphere of the $n$-dimensional sphere $\SS^n$ we prove the optimal result $\lambda_2/\lambda_1(\Omega) \le \lambda_2/\lambda_1(\Omega^{\star})$ for the ratio of its first two Dirichlet eigenvalues…

In 1961 G.Polya published a paper about the eigenvalues of vibrating membrane. The "free vibrating membrane"' corresponds to the Neumann-Laplace operator in bounded plane domains. In this paper we obtain estimates for the first eigenvalue…

We prove that the discrete Hardy-Littlewood maximal function associated with Euclidean spheres with small radii has dimension-free estimates on $\ell^p(\mathbb{Z}^d)$ for $p\in[2,\infty).$ This implies an analogous result for the Euclidean…

Let $\Omega$ be an open, bounded domain in the plane with connected and smooth boundary, and $\omega$ an eigenfunction of the Neumann Laplacian corresponding to some Neumann eigenvalue $\mu > 0$. If the boundary value of $\omega$ is a…

If the non-commutative L p space of SLn(Z) has the completely bounded approximation property for some non-trivial value of p, then some form of the Kakeya conjecture holds in dimension d, for all d $\le$ n+1 2 . The proof relies on a…

We establish boundedness of the $H^\infty$-calculus for the Dirichlet Laplacian on conical domains in $\mathbb{R}^d$ and corresponding wedges on $L^p$-spaces with mixed weights. The weights are based on both the distance to the boundary and…
