We study the eigenvalue problem for the $p$-Laplacian on K\"ahler manifolds. Our first result is a lower bound for the first nonzero eigenvalue of the $p$-Laplacian on compact K\"ahler manifolds in terms of dimension, diameter, and lower…

Matrix versions of some basic convexity inequalities are given. Further results on the same topic are proved in the recent papers on arxiv: 1. Hermitian operators and convex functions, 2. A concavity inequality for symmetric norms, 3.…

In this paper, we obtain a sharp upper bound for the sum of the first $k$-th eigenvalues for this Dirichlet problem of poly-Laplacian with any order, which is viewed as an extension of the result due to Cheng and Wei (Journal of…

In this paper, we obtain optimal upper bounds for all the Neumann eigenvalues in two situations (that are closely related). First we consider a one-dimensional Sturm-Liouville eigenvalue problem where the density is a function $h(x)$ whose…

On a convex bounded Euclidean domain, the ground state for the Laplacian with Neumann boundary conditions is a constant, while the Dirichlet ground state is log-concave. The Robin eigenvalue problem can be considered as interpolating…

For a sufficiently regular open bounded set $D \subset R^2$ let us consider the equation $(-\Delta)^{1/2} \varphi(x) = 1$, $x \in D$ with the Dirichlet exterior condition $\varphi(x) = 0$, $x \in D^c$. $\varphi$ is the expected value of the…

Karshon constructed the first counterexample to the log-concavity conjecture for the Duistermaat-Heckman measure: a Hamiltonian six manifold whose fixed points set is the disjoint union of two copies of $T^4$. In this article, for any…

We prove sharp bilinear estimates for Dirichlet or Neumann eigenfunctions in domains in the plane. These are the natural analog of earlier estimates for the boundaryless case of Burq, G\'erard, and Tzvetkov.

New upper bounds on the pointwise behaviour of Christoffel function on convex domains in ${\mathbb{R}}^d$ are obtained. These estimates are established by explicitly constructing the corresponding "needle"-like algebraic polynomials having…

We try to present an estimate relating the first Dirichlet and Neumann eigenvalues of a compact bordered Riemannian surface.

Motivated by Euclidean boxes, we consider "thin" annular domains of the form $U=(a,b)\times U_0\subseteq \mathbb{R}^n$ in polar coordinates, where the spherical base $U_0\subseteq \mathbb{S}^{n-1}$ is an inner uniform domain. We show that,…

We prove the Fundamental Gap Conjecture, which states that the difference between the first two Dirichlet eigenvalues (the spectral gap) of a Schr\"odinger operator with convex potential and Dirichlet boundary data on a convex domain is…

We study a system of quasilinear eigenvalue problems with Dirichlet boundary conditions on complete compact Riemannian manifolds. In particular, Cheng comparison estimates and inequality of Faber-Krahn for the first eigenvalue of a…

Our main result is that if a generic convex domain in $\R^n$ collapses to a domain in $\R^{n-1}$, then the difference between the first two Dirichlet eigenvalues of the Euclidean Laplacian, known as the fundamental gap, diverges. The…

In this paper, we investigate the Dirchlet eigenvalue problems of poly-Laplacian with any order and quadratic polynomial operator of the Laplacian. We give some estimates for lower bounds of the sums of their first $k$ eigenvalues which…

In this note we prove that there is a convex domain for which the $\infty$-harmonic potential is not a first $\infty$-eigenfunction.

We study fully nonlinear geometric flows that deform strictly $k$-convex hypersurfaces in Euclidean space with pointwise normal speed given by a concave function of the principal curvatures. Specifically, the speeds we consider are obtained…

In this paper, we study the scale-invariant quantity \[\mathcal{G}(\Omega)=\frac{\|\partial_n u_1\|_{L^\infty(\partial\Omega)}}{\lambda_1},\]where $u_1$ is the first $L^2$-normalized Dirichlet Laplace eigenfunction of a Euclidean domain…

In [SWW16, HW17] it is shown that the difference of the first two eigenvalues of the Laplacian with Dirichlet boundary condition on convex domain with diameter $D$ of sphere $\mathbb S^n$ is $\geq 3 \frac{\pi^2}{D^2}$ when $n \geq 3$. We…
