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 present a rigorous scheme that makes it possible to compute eigenvalues of the Laplace operator on hyperbolic surfaces within a given precision. The method is based on an adaptation of the method of particular solutions to the case of…

In this paper, we prove $L^2 \to L^p$ estimates, where $p>2$, for spectral projectors on a wide class of hyperbolic surfaces. More precisely, we consider projections in small spectral windows $[\lambda-\eta,\lambda+\eta]$ on geometrically…

In this paper, we obtain upper bounds on the multiplicity of Laplacian eigenvalues for closed hyperbolic surfaces in terms of the number of short closed geodesics and the genus $g$. For example, we show that if the number of short closed…

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…

We prove that Klein quartic maximizes the multiplicity of the first positive eigenvalue of the Laplacian among all closed hyperbolic surfaces of genus $3$, with multiplicity equal to $8$. We also obtain partial results in genus $2$, where…

We discuss questions of isospectrality for hyperbolic orbisurfaces, examining the relationship between the geometry of an orbisurface and its Laplace spectrum. We show that certain hyperbolic orbisurfaces cannot be isospectral, where the…

Let $S$ be a minimal surface of general type with irregularity $q(S) = 1$. Well-known inequalities between characteristic numbers imply that $3 p_g(S) \le c_2(S) \le 10 p_g(S)$, where $p_g(S)$ is the geometric genus and $c_2(S)$ the…

We construct a weakly complete flat surface in hyperbolic 3-space having a pair of hyperbolic Gauss maps both of whose images are contained in an arbitrarily given open disc in the ideal boundary of H^3. This construction is accomplished as…

The core focus of this series of two articles is the study of the distribution of the length spectrum of closed hyperbolic surfaces of genus $g$, sampled randomly with respect to the Weil-Petersson probability measure. In the first article,…

We study hyperbolic polyhedral surfaces with faces isometric to regular hyperbolic polygons satisfying that the total angles at vertices are at least $2\pi.$ The combinatorial information of these surfaces is shown to be identified with…

In this paper we construct, for given any small positive number $\epsilon$ and given natural number $n$, and given any closed hyperbolic surface $M$, a closed hyperbolic covering surface $\widetilde{M}$, such that its $n$-th eigenvalue is…

Our main result is that for all sufficiently large $x_0>0$, the set of commensurability classes of arithmetic hyperbolic 2- or 3-orbifolds with fixed invariant trace field $k$ and systole bounded below by $x_0$ has density one within the…

For a compact hyperbolic surface, we define a smooth linear statistic, mimicking the number of Laplace eigenvalues in a short energy window. We study the variance of this statistic, when averaged over the moduli space $\mathcal M_g$ of all…

We prove that, for any connected graph on $N\geq 3$ vertices, the spectral gap from the value $1$ with respect to the normalized Laplacian is at most $1/2$. Moreover, we show that equality is achieved if and only if the graph is either a…

In this series of articles, we analyse the level-sets of length functions on the moduli space of compact hyperbolic surfaces of fixed genus. This work ultimately culminates in a proof that typical hyperbolic surfaces have an optimal…

We show that any infinite-type surface without planar ends admits arbitrarily large families of length isospectral hyperbolic structures. If the surface has infinite genus and its space of ends is self-similar, we construct an uncountable…

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…
