Let $e_\l(x)$ be an eigenfunction with respect to the Laplace-Beltrami operator $\Delta_M$ on a compact Riemannian manifold $M$ without boundary: $\Delta_M e_\l=\l^2 e_\l$. We show the following gradient estimate of $e_\l$: for every…

We study Riemannian manifolds $(M^n,g)$ with mean-convex boundary whose Ricci curvature is nonnegative in a spectral sense. Our first main result is a sharp spectral extension of a rigidity theorem by Kasue: we prove that under the…

Classical results due to Ingham and Paley-Wiener characterize the existence of nonzero functions supported on certain subsets of the real line in terms of the pointwise decay of the Fourier transforms. Viewing these results as uncertainty…

We re-derive the Schr\"{o}dinger-Robertson uncertainty principle for the position and momentum of a quantum particle. Our derivation does not directly employ commutation relations, but works by reduction to an eigenvalue problem related to…

To predict smooth physical phenomena from observations, spline interpolation provides an interpretable framework by minimizing an energy functional associated with the Laplacian operator. This work proposes a methodology to construct a…

We consider the inverse problem to determine a smooth compact Riemannian manifold $(M,g)$ from a restriction of the source-to-solution operator, $\Lambda_{\mathcal{S,R}}$, for the wave equation on the manifold. Here, $\mathcal{S}$ and…
