We consider a compact Riemannian manifold M endowed with a potential 1-form A and study the magnetic Laplacian associated with those data (with Neumann magnetic boundary condition if the bpoundary of M is not empty). We first establish a…
This article is devoted to the description of the eigenvalues and eigenfunctions of the magnetic Laplacian in the semiclassical limit via the complex WKB method. Under the assumption that the magnetic field has a unique and non-degenerate…

We consider the problem of minimizing the second conformal eigenvalue of the conformal Laplacian in a conformal class of metrics with renormalized volume. We prove, in dimensions $n\in\left\{3,\dotsc,10\right\}$, that a minimizer for this…
We consider a magnetic Laplacian $-\Delta_A=(id+A)^\star (id+A)$ on a noncompact hyperbolic surface $\mM $ with finite area. $A$ is a real one-form and the magnetic field $dA$ is constant in each cusp. When the harmonic component of $A$…

Let $\Omega\subset\mathbb{R}^N$, $N\geq 1$, be an open bounded connected set. We consider the indefinite weighted eigenvalue problem $-\Delta u =\lambda m u$ in $\Omega$ with $\lambda \in \mathbb{R}$, $m\in L^\infty(\Omega)$ and with…

The lowest eigenvalue of the Laplacian within the S-sided regular polygon with Dirichlet boundary conditions is the focus of this report. As suggested by others, this eigenvalue may be expressed as an asymptotic expansion in powers of 1/S…
Given the eigenvalue problem for the Laplacian with Robin boundary conditions, (with $\beta\in\R\setminus\{0\}$ the Robin parameter), we consider a shape minimization problem for a function of the first eigenvalues if $\beta>0$ and a shape…
The solution of the eigenvalue problem of the Laplacian on a general homogeneous space G/H is given. Here, G is a compact, semisimple Lie group, H is a closed subgroup of G, and the rank of H is equal to the rank of G. It is shown that the…
Deformations can induce rotation with zero angular momentum where dissipation is a natural ``cost function''. This gives rise to an optimization problem of finding the most effective rotation with zero angular momentum. For certain plastic…
We address the question of which convex shapes, when packed as densely as possible under certain restrictions, fill the least space and leave the most empty space. In each different dimension and under each different set of restrictions,…
We study a rather broad class of optimal partition problems with respect to monotone and coercive functional costs that involve the Dirichlet eigenvalues of the partitions. We show a sharp regularity result for the entire set of minimizers…
