The purpose of this article is to compare the two self-maps of $\Omega^kS^{2n+1}$ given by $\Omega^k[2]$ the $k$-fold looping of a degree 2 map and $\Psi^k(2)$ the H-space squaring map. The main results give that in case $2n+1 \neq 2^j-1$,…

We study the spectrum of the Laplace-Beltrami operator on ellipsoids. For ellipsoids that are close to the sphere, we use analytic perturbation theory to estimate the eigenvalues up to two orders. We show that for biaxial ellipsoids…

This article studies the smoothness of conformal mappings between two Riemannian manifolds whose metric tensors have limited regularity. We show that any bi-Lipschitz conformal mapping or $1$-quasiregular mapping between two manifolds with…

In this paper we propose an approach of obtaining of N-dimensional spherical harmonics based exclusively on the methods of solutions of differential equations and the use of the special functions properties. We deduce the Laplace-Beltrami…

In recent years, the study of the bienergy functional has attracted the attention of a large community of researchers, but there are not many examples where the second variation of this functional has been thoroughly studied. We shall focus…

The loop space $L\mathbb{P}^n$ of the complex projective space $\mathbb{P}^n$ consisting of all $C^k$ or Sobolev $W^{k, \, p}$ maps $S^1 \to \mathbb{P}^n$ is an infinite dimensional complex manifold. We identify a class of holomorphic…

We consider sequences of maps from an $(n+m)$-dimensional domain into the $(n-1)$-sphere, which satisfy a natural $p$-energy growth, as $p$ approaches $n$ from below. We prove that, up to subsequences, the Jacobians of such maps converge in…

This paper investigates the existence, nonexistence, and qualitative properties of p-harmonic functions in the upper half-space $\mathbb{R}^N_+ \, (N \geq 3)$ satisfying nonlinear boundary conditions for $1<p<N$. Moreover, the symmetry of…

We show the existence of $S^1\times C_p$-maps between certain representation spheres. As an application, we show that, in the family of abelian compact Lie groups, a group $G$ has the weak Borsuk-Ulam property (in the sense of Bartsch) if…

In 1998 T. Rivi\`{e}re proved that there exist infinitely many homotopy classes of $\pi_3(\mathbb S^2)$ having a minimizing 3-harmonic map. This result is especially surprising taking into account that in $\pi_3(\mathbb S^3)$ there are only…

Not necessarily self-adjoint quantum graphs -- differential operators on metric graphs -- are considered. Assume in addition that the underlying metric graph possesses an automorphism (symmetry) $ \mathcal P $. If the differential operator…

We prove a spectral decomposition theorem for a well-known self-similar graph, for some finite graphs which are quotients of this graph and for a compactification of it.

By varying a parameter of a one-dimensional piecewise smooth map, stable periodic orbits are observed. In this paper, complete analytic characterization of these stable periodic orbits is obtained. An interesting relationship between the…

We prove existence results for optimization problems for the $k$th Laplace eigenvalue on closed Riemannian manifolds of dimension $m \geq 3$, depending on the choice of normalization. One such normalization leads to eigenvalue optimization…

In this paper, we first find an estimate for the range of polyharmonic mappings in the class $HC_{p}^{0}$. Then, we obtain two characterizations in terms of the convolution for polyharmonic mappings to be starlike of order $\alpha$, and…

Understanding when two non-isomorphic graphs can have the same spectra is a classic problem that is still not completely understood, even for integral circulant graphs. We say that a natural number $N$ satisfies the \emph{integral spectral…

We study the spectral multiplicity of Jacobi operators on star-like graphs with $m$ branches. Recently, it was established that the multiplicity of the singular continuous spectrum is at most $m$. Building on these developments and using…

We study polyharmonic (k-harmonic) maps between Riemannian manifolds with finite j-energies (j=1, cdots, 2k-2). We show if the domain is complete and the target is the Euclidean space, then such a map is harmonic.

We study independent and identically distributed random iterations of continuous maps defined on a connected closed subset $S$ of the Euclidean space $\mathbb{R}^{k}$. We assume the maps are monotone (with respect to a suitable partial…

Let $N$ and $P$ be smooth closed manifolds of dimensions $n$ and $p$ respectively. Given a Thom-Boardman symbol $I$, a smooth map $f:N\to P$ is called an $\Omega^{I}$-regular map if and only if the Thom-Boardman symbol of each singular…
