This article presents some methods to control the bottom of the spectrum of the Laplacian $\lambda_0$ on hyperbolic surfaces with infinite volume. Our first result bounds the $\lambda_0$ of a geometrically finite surface in terms of the…
We prove $L^p$ boundedness results, $p > 2$, for local maximal averaging operators over a smooth 2D hypersurface $S$ with either a $C^1$ density function or a density function with a singularity that grows as $|(x,y)|^{-\beta}$ for $\beta <…
Let $$1 \to H \to G \to Q \to 1$$ be an exact sequence where $H= \pi_1(S)$ is the fundamental group of a closed surface $S$ of genus greater than one, $G$ is hyperbolic and $Q$ is finitely generated free. The aim of this paper is to provide…
We introduce the Steklov flows on finite trees, i.e. the flows (or currents) associated with the Steklov problem. By constructing appropriate Steklov flows, we prove the monotonicity and rigidity of the first nonzero Steklov eigenvalues on…
It was conjectured by Escobar [J. Funct. Anal. 165 (1999), 101--116] that for an $n$-dimensional ($n\geq 3$) smooth compact Riemannian manifold with boundary, which has nonnegative Ricci curvature and boundary principal curvatures bounded…
This paper investigates the spectral properties of two classes of elliptic problems characterized by mixed Steklov-Robin boundary conditions. Our main objective is to prove that, for a generic domain, all the eigenvalues are simple. This…
Let $\pi=\otimes\pi_{v}$ and $\pi^{\prime}=\otimes\pi_{v}^{\prime}$ be two irreducible, automorphic, cuspidal representations of $GL_{m}(\mathbb{A}_{K}) >.$ Using the logarithmic zero-free region of Rankin-Selberg $L$-function, Moreno…
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…
We show rigidity of the first conformal Steklov eigenvalue on annuli and M\"obius bands. The proof relies, among others, on uniqueness results due to Fraser--Schoen, a compactness theorem of the second named author, and recent work of the…
We construct infinitely many distinct hypersurfaces with prescribed mean curvature (PMC) for a large class of prescribing functions when $(M^{n+1}, g)$ is a closed smooth manifold containing a minimal surface that is strictly stable (or…
In this paper, we study the Gauss map of a free boundary minimal surface. The main theorem asserts that if components of the Gauss map are eigenfunctions of the Jacobi-Steklov operator, then the surface must be rotationally symmetric.
In the present paper several bounds on multiplicities of eigenvalues of the Laplacian operator on surfaces are generalized from the case of either closed surface or simply-connected planar domain to the case of a surface of positive genus…
For all convex co-compact hyperbolic surfaces, we prove the existence of an essential spectral gap, that is a strip beyond the unitarity axis in which the Selberg zeta function has only finitely many zeroes. We make no assumption on the…
We give a sufficient condition under which the fundamental group of a reglued graph of surfaces is hyperbolic. A reglued graph of surfaces is constructed by cutting a fixed graph of surfaces along the edge surfaces, then regluing by…
We consider radially symmetric capillary surfaces that are described by bounded generating curves. We use the arc-length representation of the differential equations for these surfaces to allow for vertical points and inflection points…
Suppose $0 < p \le \infty$. For a simple graph $G$ with a vertex-degree sequence $d_1, \dots, d_n$ satisfying $(d_1^p + \dots + d_n^p)^{1/p} \le C$, we prove asymptotically sharp upper bounds on the number of $t$-cliques in $G$. This result…
We find sharp upper bounds on the order of the automorphism group of a hypersurface in complex projective space in every dimension and degree. In each case, we prove that the hypersurface realizing the upper bound is unique up to…
Gromov has shown how to construct holomorphic maps of the plane to a complex manifold with prescribed values on a lattice. In the present paper, a similar interpolation theorem for pseudo-holomorphic maps from the cylinder S to an…
The systole of a hyperbolic surface is bounded by a logarithmic function of its genus. This bound is sharp, in that there exist sequences of surfaces with genera tending to infinity that attain logarithmically large systoles. These are…
For any prime number p and any positive real number {\alpha}, we construct a finitely generated group {\Gamma} with p-gradient equal to {\alpha}. This construction is used to show that there exist uncountably many pairwise non-commensurable…
