Consider a square random matrix with independent and identically distributed entries of mean zero and unit variance. We show that as the dimension tends to infinity, the spectral radius is equivalent to the square root of the dimension in…

Let $S$ be a punctured Riemann surface with Euler characteristic $\chi(S)<0$. For any unitary representation $\rho: \pi_1(S) \to U(N)$, we introduce its renormalized energy and its harmonic representatives, which are equivariant harmonic…

In this paper, it is shown that with large probability, the spectral radius of a large non-Hermitian random matrix with a general variance profile does not exceed the square root of the spectral radius of the variance profile matrix. A…

In this article, we derive two spectral gap bounds for the reduced Laplacian of a general simplicial complex. Our two bounds are proven by comparing a simplicial complex in two different ways with a larger complex and with the corresponding…

The goal of this paper is to provide sharp spectral gap estimates for problems involving higher-order operators (including both the clamped and buckling plate problems) on Cartan-Hadamard manifolds. The proofs are symmetrization-free --…

Given a convex co-compact hyperbolic surface $X=\Gamma\backslash \mathbb{H}^2$, we investigate the resonance spectrum $\mathcal{R}_j$ of the laplacian $\Delta_j$ on large finite abelian covers $X=\Gamma_j\backslash \mathbb{H}^2$, where…

We show that the Weil-Petersson probability that a random surface has first eigenvalue of the Laplacian less than $3/16-\epsilon$ goes to zero as the genus goes to infinity.

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 show that for a closed hyperbolic 3-manifold the size of the first eigenvalue of the Hodge Laplacian acting on coexact 1-forms is comparable to an isoperimetric ratio relating geodesic length and stable commutator length with comparison…

In this paper, we study the problem of scattering by several strictly convex obstacles, with smooth boundary and satisfying a non eclipse condition. We show, in dimension 2 only, the existence of a spectral gap for the meromorphic…

We investigate the spectral distribution of the twisted Laplacian associated with uniform square-integrable bounded harmonic 1-form on typical hyperbolic surfaces of high genus. First, we estimate the spectral distribution by the supremum…

In this work, we prove that the universal and maximal abelian covers of a finite multi-graph have the same eigenvalues. This result strengthens a recent theorem of Li, Magee, Sabri, and Thomas (2025) and answers one of their questions. Our…

We study random covers of a closed hyperbolic surface $\Sigma$, subject to the condition that, for $k\geq 2$, the fundamental group is isomorphic to the free group $F_k$. We show that asymptotically they distribute according to a specific…

Using spectral embedding based on the signless Laplacian, we obtain bounds on the spectrum of transition matrices on graphs. As a consequence, we bound return probabilities and the uniform mixing time of simple random walk on graphs. In…
