We study random Morse functions on a Riemann manifold $(M^m,g)$ defined as a random Gaussian weighted superpositions of eigenfunctions of the Laplacian of the metric $g$. The randomness is determined by a fixed Schwartz function $w$ and a…

We give explicit isoperimetric upper bounds for all Steklov eigenvalues of a compact orientable surface with boundary, in terms of the genus, the length of the boundary, and the number of boundary components. Our estimates generalize a…

This paper is a brief account of the Steklov eigenvalue problem on a 2-dimensional rectangular domain, and then on a 3-dimensional rectangular box. It is divided into four sections. Section 1 relies heavily on real analytic methods to show…

In this paper, we study the Steklov eigenvalue of a Riemannian manifold (M, g) with smooth boundary. For compact M , we establish a Cheeger-type inequality for the first Steklov eigenvalue by the isocapacitary constant. For non-compact M ,…

We explicitly classify all $S^1$-invariant free boundary minimal annuli and M\"obius bands in $\mathbb{B}^n$. This classification is obtained from an analysis of the spectrum of the Dirichlet-to-Neumann map for $S^1$-invariant metrics on…

In the recent work arXiv:1311.3999, the authors proved that real analytic manifolds $(M, g)$ with maximal eigenfunction growth must have a self-focal point p whose first return map has an invariant L1 measure on $S^*_p M$. In this addendum…

We obtain upper and lower bounds for Steklov eigenvalues of submanifolds with prescribed boundary in Euclidean space. A very general upper bound is proved, which depends only on the geometry of the fixed boundary and on the measure of the…

Let $(M,\bar g)$ be a compact Riemannian manifold with minimal boundary such that the second fundamental form is nowhere vanishing on $\partial M$. We show that for a generic Riemannian metric $\bar g$, the squared norm of the second…

A Laplacian eigenfunction on a two-dimensional manifold dictates some natural partitions of the manifold; the most apparent one being the well studied nodal domain partition. An alternative partition is revealed by considering a set of…

Along with the partition of a planar bounded domain $\Omega$ by the nodal set of a fixed eigenfunction of the Laplace operator in $\Omega$, one can consider another natural partition of $\Omega$ by, roughly speaking, gradient flow lines of…
