In this note we study $(\lambda,\mu)$-eigenfamilies on compact Riemannian manifolds when $\lambda = \mu$. We show that any compact manifold admitting a $(\lambda,\lambda)$-eigenfunction is a mapping torus and that any…
The standard eigenfunctions $\phi_{\lambda} = e^{i < \lambda, x >}$ on flat tori $\R^n / L$ have $L^{\infty}$-norms bounded independently of the eigenvalue. In the case of irrational flat tori, it follows that $L^2$-normalized…
Let $M$ be a finite dimensional topological aspherical manifold whose universal cover is ${\bf R}^n$. In this paper, we study $Aff(M)$, the subgroup of the group of homeomorphisms of $M$, whose elements can be lifted to affine…
We study global obstructions to the eigenvalues of the Ricci tensor on a Riemannian 3-manifold. As a topological obstruction, we first show that if the 3-manifold is closed, then certain choices of the eigenvalues are prohibited: in…
General properties of eigenvalues of $A+\tau uv^*$ as functions of $\tau\in\Comp$ or $\tau\in\Real$ or $\tau=\e^{\ii\theta}$ on the unit circle are considered. In particular, the problem of existence of global analytic formulas for…
We classify all closed, aspherical Riemannian manifolds M whose universal cover has indiscrete isometry group. One sample application is the theorem that any such M with word-hyperbolic fundamental group must be isometric to a negatively…
We study transnormal and isoparametric functions on closed Riemannian 4-manifolds and establish fundamental restrictions on their topology and geometry. In particular, we show that such manifolds cannot be endowed with negatively curved…
Let $\mathcal{L}$ be a finite-dimensional semisimple Lie algebra of rank $N$ over an algebraically closed field of characteristic $0$. Associated to $\mathcal{L}$ is a family of polynomial folding maps…
We describe the isometry group of $L^2(\Omega, M)$ for Riemannian manifolds $M$ of dimension at least two with irreducible universal cover. We establish a rigidity result for the isometries of these spaces: any isometry arises from an…
We conjecture that quantum Gaudin models in affine types admit families of local higher Hamiltonians, labelled by the (countably infinite set of) exponents, whose eigenvalues are given by functions on a space of meromorphic opers associated…
We discuss some specializations of the frames of flat orthonormal frame bundles over geometries of indefinite signature, and the resulting symmetries of families of embedded Riemannian or pseudo-Riemannian geometries. The specializations…
Motivated by known examples of global integrals which represent automorphic L-functions, this paper initiates the study of a certain two-dimensional array of global integrals attached to any reductive algebraic group, indexed by maximal…
We are concerned with an harmonic analysis in Hilbert spaces $L^2(\mu)$, where $\mu$ is a probability measure on $\br^n$. The unifying question is the presence of families of orthogonal (complex) exponentials $e_\lambda(x) = \exp(2\pi i…
We consider complete Riemannian $3$-manifolds whose Ricci tensors have constant eigenvalues $(\lambda, \lambda, 0)$. When $\pi_1$ is finitely generated, we classify the topology of such manifolds by showing that they have a free fundamental…
A unified theory of orthogonal polynomials of a discrete variable is presented through the eigenvalue problem of hermitian matrices of finite or infinite dimensions. It can be considered as a matrix version of exactly solvable Schr\"odinger…
A new approach for constructing minimal submanifolds of codimension 1 in the round spheres is proposed. In the case of $\mathbb{S}^3$ two immersions of the Clifford torus and all Lawson $\tau_{n, m}$ surfaces are described in terms of…
Since the Hadamard Theorem, several metric and topological conditions have emerged in the literature to date, yielding global inversion and implicit theorems for functions in different settings. Relevant examples are the mappings between…
This is a survey on eigenfunctions of the Laplacian on Riemannian manifolds (mainly compact and without boundary). We discuss both local results obtained by analyzing eigenfunctions on small balls, and global results obtained by wave…
We prove the global triangulation conjecture for families of refined p-adic representations under a mild condition. That is, for a refined family, the associated family of (phi, Gamma)-modules admits a global triangulation on a Zariski open…
We study a family of double confluent Heun equations of the form $\mathcal E=0$, where $\mathcal L=\mathcal L_{\lambda,\mu,n}$ is a family of differential operators of order two. They depend on complex parameters $\lambda$, $\mu$, $n$. Its…
