We start by revisiting the derivation of the variational formulae for the functional assigning to a bounded regular domain in a Riemannian manifold its first Dirichlet eigenvalue and extend it to (not necessarily bounded) domains in certain…

We consider uniformly elliptic operators with Dirichlet or Neumann homogeneous boundary conditions on a domain $\Omega $ in ${\mathbb{R}}^N$. We consider deformations $\phi (\Omega)$ of $\Omega $ obtained by means of a locally Lipschitz…

We consider the Robin Laplacian in the exterior of a bounded simply-connected Lipschitz domain in the hyperbolic plane. We show that the essential spectrum of this operator is $[\frac14,\infty)$ and that, under convexity assumption on the…

We begin by studying semigroup estimates that are more singular than those implied by a Sobolev embedding theorem but which are equivalent to certain logarithmic Sobolev inequalities. We then give a method for showing such log--Sobolev…

We study the Laplacian with zero magnetic field acting on complex functions of a planar domain $\Omega$, with magnetic Neumann boundary conditions. If $\Omega$ is simply connected then the spectrum reduces to the spectrum of the usual…

Most recently, in arXiv:1907.05360 [math.AP], we introduced the theory of heatable currents and proved Onsager's conjecture on Riemannian manifolds with boundary, where the weak solution has $B_{3,1}^{\frac{1}{3}}$ spatial regularity. In…

For $d\geq 2$ and $\frac{2d+2}{d+2} < p < \infty $, we prove a strict Faber-Krahn type inequality for the first eigenvalue $\lambda _1(\Omega )$ of the $p$-Laplace operator on a bounded Lipschitz domain $\Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^d$ (with…

We prove two theorems concerning extreme values of general Gaussian fields. Our first theorem concerns with the concept of multiple peaks. A theorem of Chatterjee states that when a centered Gaussian field admits the so-called…

Let $G$ be a compact Lie group and $P_{e,a}(G)=C([0,1]\to G~|~\gamma(0)=e, \gamma(1)=a)$ be the pinned path space with a pinned Brownian motion measure $\nu_{\lambda,a}$ defined by the heat kernel $p(\lambda^{-1}t,x,y)$, where $\lambda$ is…

A classical result of Nitsche \cite{Nit57} about the behaviour of the solutions to the Liouville equation $\Delta u=4 e^{2u}$ near isolated singularities is generalized to solutions of the Gaussian curvature equation $\Delta u=- \kappa(z)…

We consider the "Method of particular solutions" for numerically computing eigenvalues and eigenfunctions of the Laplacian $\Delta$ on a smooth, bounded domain Omega in RR^n with either Dirichlet or Neumann boundary conditions. This method…

Neumann domains of Laplacian eigenfunctions form a natural counterpart of nodal domains. The restriction of an eigenfunction to one of its nodal domains is the first Dirichlet eigenfunction of that domain. This simple observation is…

This paper considers the initial-boundary value problem for the nonlocal Cahn--Hilliard equation $$ \partial_t\varphi + (-\Delta+1)(a(\cdot)\varphi -J\ast\varphi + G'(\varphi)) = 0 \quad \mbox{in}\ \Omega\times(0, T) $$ in an unbounded…

In this paper, we consider the smooth map from a Riemannian manifold to the standard Euclidean space and the p-Ginzburg-Landau energy. Under suitable curvature conditions on the domain manifold, some Liouville type theorems are established…

We study the existence of non-trivial unbounded domains of $\Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^2$ where the equation \begin{align} - \lambda u_{xx} -u_{tt} &= u \qquad \text{in $\Omega$,}\nonumber u &=0 \qquad \text{on $\partial \Omega$,}\nonumber…

We study the existence of a solution to the mixed boundary value problem for Helmholtz and Poisson type equations in a bounded Lipschitz domain $\Omega\subset\mathbb{R}^N$ and in $\mathbb{R}^N\setminus\Omega$ for $N\geq3$. The boundary…

We study a parabolic Ventsell problem for a second order differential operator in divergence form and with interior and boundary drift terms on the snowflake domain. We prove that under standard conditions a related Cauchy problem possesses…

We consider the following Liouville-type equation with exponential Neumann boundary condition: $$ -\Delta\tilde u = \varepsilon^2 K(x) e^{2\tilde u}, \quad x\in D, \qquad \frac{\partial \tilde u}{\partial n} + 1 = \varepsilon \kappa(x)…

We consider the 3D incompressible Euler equations in bounded domains $\Omega$ with smooth boundary $\partial\Omega$. Based on the paper by Iwabuchi, Matsuyama and Taniguchi (2019), we define the Besov space $B^s_{p, q}(A)$ by means of the…
