By introducing a weight function to the Laplace operator, Bakry and \'Emery defined the "drift Laplacian" to study diffusion processes. Our first main result is that, given a Bakry-\'Emery manifold, there is a naturally associated family of…

Let $M^n$ be a smooth compact manifolds with smooth boundary. We show that for a generic $C^k$ metic on $\bar{M^n}$ with $k>n-1$, the nonzero Steklov eigenvalues are simple. Moreover, we also prove that the non-constant Steklov…

Given a compact manifold equipped with a volume element and a Riemannian metric, we formulate and study a dual pair of optimization problems: one concerning smooth maps from the manifold into the Hilbert space $l^2$ and the other concerning…

We study the optimization of Steklov eigenvalues with respect to a boundary density function $\rho$ on a bounded Lipschitz domain $\Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^N$. We investigate the minimization and maximization of $\lambda_k(\rho)$, the…

Given $(M,g)$ a smooth compact Riemannian manifold without boundary of dimension $n\geq 3$, we consider the first conformal eigenvalue which is by definition the supremum of the first eigenvalue of the Laplacian among all metrics conformal…

For each degree p, we construct on any closed manifold a family of Riemannian metrics, with fixed volume such that any positive eigenvalues of the rough and Hodge Laplacians acting on differential p-forms converge to zero. In particular, on…

Let $(M^n,g)$ be a complete simply connected $n$-dimensional Riemannian manifold with curvature bounds $\operatorname{Sect}_g\leq \kappa$ for $\kappa\leq 0$ and $\operatorname{Ric}_g\geq(n-1)Kg$ for $K\leq 0$. We prove that for any bounded…
