We establish a spectral gap for resonances of the Laplacian of random Schottky surfaces, which is optimal according to a conjecture of Jakobson and Naud.

In this article we show that for every finite area hyperbolic surface $X$ of type $(g,n)$ and any harmonic Beltrami differential $\mu$ on $X$, then the magnitude of $\mu$ at any point of small injectivity radius is uniform bounded from…

Let $(M,g)$ be a connected, closed, orientable Riemannian surface and denote by $\lambda_k(M,g)$ the $k$-th eigenvalue of the Laplace-Beltrami operator on $(M,g)$. In this paper, we consider the mapping $(M, g)\mapsto \lambda_k(M,g)$. We…

The existence of a strong spectral gap for quotients $\Gamma\bs G$ of noncompact connected semisimple Lie groups is crucial in many applications. For congruence lattices there are uniform and very good bounds for the spectral gap coming…

We apply topological methods to study eigenvalues of the Laplacian on closed hyperbolic surfaces. For any closed hyperbolic surface $S$ of genus $g$, we get a geometric lower bound on ${\lambda_{2g-2}}(S)$: ${\lambda_{2g-2}}(S) > 1/4 +…

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 the present paper we consider Riemannian coverings $(X,g) \to (M,g)$ with residually finite covering group $\Gamma$ and compact base space $(M,g)$. In particular, we give two general procedures resulting in a family of deformed coverings…

Let $\Sigma^p_g$ denote a surface of genus $g$ and with $p$ punctures. Our main result is that the fraction of degree $n$ covers of $\Sigma^p_g$ which have the Putman-Wieland property tends to $1$ as $n\to \infty$. In addition, we show that…

We provide a probabilistic proof of the fundamental gap estimate for Schr\"odinger operators in convex domains on the sphere, which extends the probabilistic proof of F. Gong, H. Li, and D. Luo for the Euclidean case. Our results further…

We prove a conjecture of Viterbo from 2007 on the existence of a uniform bound on the Lagrangian spectral norm of Hamiltonian deformations of the zero section in unit cotangent disk bundles, for bases given by compact rank one symmetric…

We consider random genus-0 hyperbolic surfaces $\mathcal{S}_n$ with $n + 1$ punctures, sampled according to the Weil-Petersson measure. We show that, after rescaling the metric by $n^{-1/4}$, the surface $\mathcal{S}_n$ converges in…

In this article we study the asymptotic behavior of small eigenvalues of Riemann surfaces for large genus. We show that for any positive integer $k$, as the genus $g$ goes to infinity, the smallest $k$-th eigenvalue of Riemann surfaces in…

In this paper we study the spectral gap of the path graph and illustrate an interesting effect which has been described recently in the continuous setting. More explicitly, in the large-volume limit and in the presence of a certain external…

Let $X$ be a two-dimensional smooth manifold with boundary $S^{1}$ and $Y=[1,\infty)\times S^{1}$. We consider a family of complete surfaces arising by endowing $X\cup_{S^{1}}Y$ with a parameter dependent Riemannian metric, such that the…

We study the spectral gap of the Erd\H{o}s--R\'enyi random graph through the connectivity threshold. In particular, we show that for any fixed $\delta > 0$ if $$p \ge \frac{(1/2 + \delta) \log n}{n},$$ then the normalized graph Laplacian of…

We prove that every family of coverings of any infinite-area, convex cocompact hyperbolic surface has uniform spectral gap, provided that the associated Schreier graphs form a family of two-sided expanders. This extends the results of…

In this work, we obtain the first upper bound on the multiplicity of Laplacian eigenvalues for negatively curved surfaces which is sublinear in the genus g. Our proof relies on a trace argument for the heat kernel, and on the idea of…

The Laplacian of a (weighted) Cayley graph on the Weyl group $W(B_n)$ is a $N\times N$ matrix with $N = 2^n n!$ equal to the order of the group. We show that for a class of (weighted) generating sets, its spectral gap (lowest nontrivial…
