We discuss the asymptotic lower bound on the inner radius of nodal domains that arise from Laplacian eigenfunctions $ \phi_\lambda $ on a closed Riemannian manifold $ (M,g) $. First, in the real-analytic case we present an improvement of…

The Berry heuristic has been a long standing \emph{ansatz} about the high energy (i.e. large eigenvalues) behaviour of eigenfunctions (see Berry 1977). Roughly speaking, it states that under some generic boundary conditions, these…

We present a riemannian structure on the disk that has a remarkably rich structure. Geodesics are hypocycloids and the (negative of the) laplacian has integer spectrum with multiplicity the Dirichlet divisor function. Eigenfunctions of the…

We study the convergence of the Riemannian steepest descent algorithm on the Grassmann manifold for minimizing the block version of the Rayleigh quotient of a symmetric matrix. Even though this problem is non-convex in the Euclidean sense…

Shape optimization is commonly applied in engineering to optimize shapes with respect to an objective functional relying on PDE solutions. In this paper, we view shape optimization as optimization on Riemannian shape manifolds. We consider…

The spherical average $A_{1}(f)$ and its iteration $(A_{1})^{N}$ are important operators in harmonic analysis and probability theory. Also $\Delta (A_{1})^{N}$ is used to study the $K$ functional in approximation theory, where $\Delta $ is…

In this paper we investigate possible extensions of the idea of geodesic completeness in complex manifolds, following two directions: metrics are somewhere allowed not to be of maximum rank, or to have 'poles' somewhere else. Geodesics are…

Let $\Gamma$ be a Schottky subgroup of $\mathrm{SL}_2(\mathbb{Z})$ and let $X=\Gamma\backslash \mathbb{H}^2$ be the associated hyperbolic surface. Conditional on the generalized Riemann hypothesis for quadratic $L$-functions, we establish a…

This paper studies eigenvalues of some Steklov problems. Among other things, we show the following sharp estimtes. Let $\Omega$ be a bounded smooth domain in an $n(\geq 2)$-dimensional Hadamard manifold an let $0=\lambda_0 < \lambda_1\leq…

We prove that some Riemannian manifolds with boundary under an explicit integral pinching are spherical space forms. Precisely, we show that 3-dimensional Riemannian manifolds with totally geodesic boundary, positive scalar curvature and an…

We explore a connection between geodesic nets and quantum graphs optimising certain functionals from spectral theory. For surfaces, critical metrics for the normalised $k^{\mathrm{th}}$ eigenvalue of the Laplacian give rise to isometric…

The goal of the paper is to sharpen and generalise bounds involving the Cheeger's isoperimetric constant $h$ and the first eigenvalue $\lambda_{1}$ of the Laplacian. A celebrated lower bound of $\lambda_{1}$ in terms of $h$,…

In 2002 Freiberg and Z\"ahle introduced and developed a harmonic calculus for measure-geometric Laplacians associated to continuous distributions. We show their theory can be extended to encompass distributions with finite support and give…

Geodesics become an essential element of the geometry of a semi-Riemannian manifold. In fact, their differences and similarities with the (positive definite) Riemannian case, constitute the first step to understand semi-Riemannian Geometry.…

The Sphere Covering Inequality was introduced in \cite{GM} (\emph{Invent. Math.}, 2018) as a sharp geometric inequality that provides a lower bound for the total area of two distinct surfaces of Gaussian curvature 1. These surfaces are…

It is known that the so-called rotation minimizing (RM) frames allow for a simple and elegant characterization of geodesic spherical curves in Euclidean, hyperbolic, and spherical spaces through a certain linear equation involving the…

In this paper, we study the Dirichlet problem of the geodesic equation in the space of K\"ahler cone metrics $\mathcal H_\b$; that is equivalent to a homogeneous complex Monge-Amp\`ere equation whose boundary values consist of K\"ahler…

This paper deals with Riemannian optimization on the unit sphere in terms of $p$-norm with general $p > 1$. As a Riemannian submanifold of the Euclidean space, the geometry of the sphere with $p$-norm is investigated, and several geometric…
