We establish the lower bound of $4\pi(1+g)$ for the area of the Gauss map of any immersion of a closed oriented surface of genus $g$ into $\mathbb{S}^3$, taking values in the Grassmannian of $2$-planes in $\mathbb{R}^4$. This lower bound is…

Let $M$ be a closed hypersurface in a noncompact rank-1 symmetric space $(\bar{\mathbb{M}}, ds^2)$ with $-4 \leq K_{\bar{\mathbb{M}}} \leq -1,$ or in a complete, simply connected Riemannian manifold $\mathbb{M}$ such that $0 \leq…

We give an estimate of the first eigenvalue of the Laplace operator on a complete noncompact stable minimal hypersurface $M$ in a complete simply connected Riemannian manifold with pinched negative sectional curvature. In the same ambient…

This paper is dedicated to the spectral optimization problem \begin{equation*} \min \big\{ \lambda_1(\Omega)+\cdots+\lambda_k(\Omega) + \Lambda|\Omega| \ : \ \Omega \subset D \text{ quasi-open} \big\} \end{equation*} where…

This work concerns $L^p$ norms of high energy Laplace eigenfunctions, $(-\Delta_g-\lambda^2)\phi_\lambda=0$, $\|\phi_\lambda\|_{L^2}=1$. In 1988, Sogge gave optimal estimates on the growth of $\|\phi_\lambda\|_{L^p}$ for a general compact…

In this paper we study the first Steklov-Laplacian eigenvalue with an internal fixed spherichal obstacle. We prove that the spherical shell locally maximizes the first eigenvalue among nearly spherical sets when both the internal ball and…

We revisit the $k$-Hessian eigenvalue problem on a smooth, bounded, $(k-1)$-convex domain in $\mathbb R^n$. First, we obtain a spectral characterization of the $k$-Hessian eigenvalue as the infimum of the first eigenvalues of linear…

Given a symmetric matrix $A$, we show from the simple sketch $GAG^T$, where $G$ is a Gaussian matrix with $k = O(1/\epsilon^2)$ rows, that there is a procedure for approximating all eigenvalues of $A$ simultaneously to within $\epsilon…

Motivated by the rigidity case in the localized Riemannian Penrose inequality, we show that suitable singular metrics attaining the optimal value in the Riemannian Penrose inequality is necessarily smooth in properly specified coordinates.…

We consider smooth bounded surfaces with a smooth boundary and a prescribed background metric g_0. We now consider all metrics g conformal to g_0 which have a prescribed volume M. We now minimize the first eigenvalue of the Laplace operator…

We develop a method for optimization in shape spaces, i.e., sets of surfaces modulo re-parametrization. Unlike previously proposed gradient flows, we achieve superlinear convergence rates through a subtle approximation of the shape Hessian,…

We introduce a convergent hierarchy of lower bounds on the minimum value of a real form over the unit sphere. The main practical advantage of our hierarchy over the real sum-of-squares (RSOS) hierarchy is that the lower bound at each level…

In this paper, we consider the optimization problem for the first Dirichlet eigenvalue $\lambda_1(\Omega)$ of the $p$-Laplacian $\Delta_p$, $1< p< \infty$, over a family of doubly connected planar domains $\Omega= B \setminus \overline{P}$,…

We study closed orientable surfaces satisfying the spectral condition $\lambda_1(-\Delta+\beta K)\geq\lambda\geq0$, where $\beta$ is a positive constant and $K$ is the Gauss curvature. This condition naturally arises for stable minimal…

For a closed connected surface with a metric g, we consider the regularized trace of the inverse of the Laplace-Beltrami operator. We minimize this on the class of smooth metrics conformal to g having the same area, and show that the…

For a regular polyhedron (or polygon) centered at the origin, the coordinates of the vertices are eigenvectors of the graph Laplacian for the skeleton of that polyhedron (or polygon) associated with the first (non-trivial) eigenvalue. In…

We study the limiting behavior of eigenfunctions/eigenvalues of the Laplacian of a family of Riemannian metrics that degenerates on a hypersurface. Our results generalize earlier work concerning the degeneration of hyperbolic surfaces.

Matching articulated shapes represented by voxel-sets reduces to maximal sub-graph isomorphism when each set is described by a weighted graph. Spectral graph theory can be used to map these graphs onto lower dimensional spaces and match…
