Concerning the Laplace operator with homogeneous Dirichlet boundary conditions, the classical notion of isospectrality assumes that two domains are related when they give rise to the same spectrum. In two dimensions, non isometric,…

The main result of this paper is that any $3$-dimensional manifold with a finite group action is equivariantly, invertibly homology cobordant to a hyperbolic manifold; this result holds with suitable twisted coefficients as well. The…

We study conformal deformation problems on manifolds with boundary which include prescribing $\sigma_k\equiv0$ in the interior. In particular, we prove a Dirichlet principle when the induced metric on the boundary is fixed and an Obata-type…

In a bounded domain, we consider a variable range nonlocal operator, which is maximally isotropic in the sense that its radius of interaction equals the distance to the boundary. We establish $C^{1,\alpha}$ boundary regularity and existence…

Let C be a smooth closed curve of length 2 Pi in R^3, and let k(s) be its curvature, regarded as a function of arc length. We associate with this curve the one-dimensional Schrodinger operator H_C = -d^2/ds^2 + k^2 acting on the space of…
