This paper is part I of a series in which we aim to show that the singular support of the wave trace and the length spectrum of a smooth, strictly convex, and bounded planar billiard table are generally distinct objects. We derive an…

We give a rigorous version of the classical Balian-Bloch trace formula, a semiclassical expansion around a periodic reflecting ray of the (regularized) resolvent of the Dirichlet Laplacian on a bounded smooth plane domain. It is equivalent…

A general approach to proving that the length spectrum of a compact Riemannian manifold is an invariant of the Laplace spectrum comes from considering the wave trace, a spectrally determined tempered distribution. The Poisson relation…

We show that if the eccentricity of an ellipse is sufficiently small then up to isometries it is spectrally unique among all smooth domains. We do not assume any symmetry, convexity, or closeness to the ellipse, on the class of domains. In…

This is part of a series of papers on the inverse spectral problem for bounded analytic plane domains. Here, we use the trace formula established in the first paper (`Balian-Bloch trace formula') to explicitly calculate wave trace…

We prove that a a strongly convex planar domain (Birkhoff table) with dihedral symmetry, which is sufficiently close in a finitely smooth topology to an ellipse, is deformationally spectrally rigid within the class of domains preserving…

It is widely known that the spectrum of the Dirichlet Laplacian is stable under small perturbations of a domain, while in the case of the Neumann or mixed boundary conditions the spectrum may abruptly change. In this work we discuss an…

We consider the Laplace operator in a planar waveguide, i.e., an infinite two-dimensional straight strip of constant width, with particular types of Robin boundary conditions. We study the essential spectrum of the corresponding Laplacian…

The purpose of this article is to develop a Hadamard-Riesz type parametrix for the wave propagator in bounded planar domains with smooth, strictly convex boundary. This parametrix then allows us to rederive an oscillatory integral…

The celebrated Hardy-Landau lower bound for the error term in the Gauss's circle problem can be viewed as an estimate from below for the remainder in Weyl's law on a square, with either Dirichlet or Neumann boundary conditions. We prove an…

A basic question about the existence and stability of the Boltzmann equation in general non-convex domain with the specular reflection boundary condition has been widely open. In this paper, we consider cylindrical domains whose cross…

By varying a parameter of a one-dimensional piecewise smooth map, stable periodic orbits are observed. In this paper, complete analytic characterization of these stable periodic orbits is obtained. An interesting relationship between the…

This work deals with planar dynamical systems with and without noise. In the first part, we seek to gain a refined understanding of such systems by studying their differential-geometric transformation properties under an arbitrary smooth…

We study for several compact strictly convex disjoint obstacles the length spectrum $\mathcal L$ formed by the lengths of all primitive periodic reflecting rays. We prove the existence of sequences $\{\ell_j\},\: \{m_j\}$ with $\ell_j \in…

For an irreducible smooth representation of a connected reductive $p$-adic group, two important associated invariants are the wavefront set and the (partly conjectural) Langlands parameter. While a wavefront set consists of $p$-adic…

Using coordinates $(x,y)\in \mathbb R\times \mathbb R^{d-1}$, we introduce the notion that an unbounded domain in $\mathbb R^d$ is star shaped with respect to $x=\pm \infty$. For such domains, we prove estimates on the resolvent of the…

Periodic travelling waves are considered in the class of reduced Ostrovsky equations that describe low-frequency internal waves in the presence of rotation. The reduced Ostrovsky equations with either quadratic or cubic nonlinearities can…

We consider Berry's random planar wave model (1977) for a positive Laplace eigenvalue $E>0$, both in the real and complex case, and prove limit theorems for the nodal statistics associated with a smooth compact domain, in the high-energy…

Most all-sky searches for continuous gravitational waves assume the source to be isolated. In this paper, we allow for an unknown companion object in a long-period orbit and opportunistically use previous results from an all-sky search for…

To understand an oft-observed but poorly understood phenomenon in which a solitary wave in a dispersive equation slowly deteriorates due to a persistent emission of radiation (i.e. a ``radiating solitary wave''), we propose a bare-bones…
