We prove that the isoperimetric profile of a convex domain $\Omega$ with compact closure in a Riemannian manifold $(M^{n+1},g)$ satisfies a second order differential inequality which only depends on the dimension of the manifold and on a…

We investigate the overdetermined problem given by \begin{equation*} \Delta u=0 \text{ in } \Omega,\quad \frac{\partial u}{\partial\nu} =\sigma_1 u \text{ on } \partial \Omega, \quad |\nabla u|=\text{constant on } \partial \Omega,…

Denote with $\mu_{1}(\Omega;e^{h\left(|x|\right)})$ the first nontrivial eigenvalue of the Neumann problem \begin{equation*} \left\{\begin{array}{lll} -\text{div}\left(e^{h\left(|x|\right)}\nabla u\right) =\mu e^{h\left(|x|\right)}u &…

The fundamental gap of a domain is the difference between the first two eigenvalues of the Laplace operator. In a series of recent and celebrated works, it was shown that for convex domains in $\mathbb R^n$ and $\mathbb S^n$ with Dirichlet…
