We establish the existence of hypersurfaces with constant mean curvature and a prescribed boundary in Euclidean space, represented as radial graphs over domains of the unit sphere. Under the assumptions that the mean curvature of the…

In the present paper we study some kinds of the problems for the bi-drifting Laplacian operator and get some sharp lower bounds for the first eigenvalue for these eigenvalue problems on compact manifolds with boundary (also called a smooth…

A classical result in differential geometry due to Lichnerowicz [8] is concerned with the decomposition of the square of Dirac operators defined by Clifford connections on a Clifford module ${\cal E}$\ over a Riemannian manifold $M$.…

In this paper, we give a new lower bound for the eigenvalues of the Dirac operator on a compact spin manifold. This estimate is motivated by the fact that in its limiting case a skew-symmetric tensor (see Equation \eqref{eq:16}) appears…

The eigenvalue problem for Dirac operators, constructed from two connections on the spinor bundle over closed spacelike 2-surfaces, is investigated. A class of divergence free vector fields, built from the eigenspinors, are found, which,…

In this paper, we use localization algebras to study higher rho invariants of closed spin manifolds with positive scalar curvature metrics. The higher rho invariant is a secondary invariant and is closely related to positive scalar…

We study the Dirichlet spectrum of the Laplace operator on geodesic balls centred at a pole of spherically symmetric manifolds. We first derive a Hadamard--type formula for the dependence of the first eigenvalue $\lambda_{1}$ on the radius…

Comparison theorems are foundational to our understanding of the geometric features implied by various curvature constraints. This paper considers manifolds with a positive lower bound on either scalar, 2-Ricci, or Ricci curvature, and…

We derive an inequality that relates nodal set and eigenvalues of a class of twisted Dirac operators on closed surfaces and point out how this inequality naturally arises as an eigenvalue estimate for the $\rm Spin^c$ Dirac operator. This…

On compact Riemannian manifolds with a large isometry group we investigate the invariant spectrum of the ordinary Laplacian. For either a toric Kaehler metric, or a rotationally-symmetric metric on the sphere, we produce upper bounds for…

We describe both the Hodge - de Rham and the spin manifold Dirac operator on the spheres ${\rm S}^3$ and ${\rm S}^2$, following the formalism introduced by K\"ahler, and exhibit a complete spectral resolution for them in terms of suitably…

Two Riemannian manifolds are said to be isospectral if the associated Laplace-Belttrami operators have the same eigenvalue spectrum. If the manifolds have boundary, one specifies DIrichlet or Neumann isospectrality depending on the boundary…

We prove that, for a Finsler space, if the weighted Ricci curvature is bounded below by a positive number and the diam attains its maximal value, then it is isometric to a standard Finsler sphere. As an application, we show that the first…

We give rigidity results for the discrete Bonnet-Myers diameter bound and the Lichnerowicz eigenvalue estimate. Both inequalities are sharp if and only if the underlying graph is a hypercube. The proofs use well-known semigroup methods as…

It has been recently shown that the eigenvalues of the Dirac operator can be considered as dynamical variables of Euclidean gravity. The purpose of this paper is to explore the possiblity that the eigenvalues of the Dirac operator might…
