In this work, optimal rigidity results for eigenvalues on K\"ahler manifolds with positive Ricci lower bound are established. More precisely, for those K\"ahler manifolds whose first eigenvalue agrees with the Ricci lower bound, we show…
We derive upper bounds to free-space concentration of electromagnetic waves, mapping out the limits to maximum intensity for any spot size and optical beam-shaping device. For sub-diffraction-limited optical beams, our bounds suggest the…
In this paper we obtain several results concerning the optimization of higher Steklov eigenvalues both in two and higher dimensional cases. We first show that the normalized (by boundary length) $k$-th Steklov eigenvalue on the disk is not…
In this paper we study extremal behaviors of the mean to max ratio of the $p$-torsion function with respect to the geometry of the domain. For $p$ larger than the dimension of the space $N$, we prove that the upper bound is uniformly below…
