Given any \(n\in\mathbb{N}\), we construct a real-valued biharmonic polynomial on \(\mathbb{R}^2\) whose zero set contains a nest of \(n\) smooth, disjoint topological loops, meaning that the \(k\)-th loop lies inside the domain bounded by…

We prove a result, announced by F. Nazarov, L. Polterovich and M. Sodin that exhibits a relation between the average local growth of a Laplace eigenfunction on a closed surface and the global size of its nodal set. More precisely, we…

This paper focuses on a relation between the growth of harmonic functions and the Hausdorff measure of their zero sets. Let $u$ be a real-valued harmonic function in $\mathbb{R}^n$ with $u(0)=0$ and $n\geq 3$. We prove…

We study the nodal set of the Steklov eigenfunctions on the boundary of a smooth bounded domain in $\mathbb{R}^n$ - the eigenfunctions of the Dirichlet-to-Neumann map. Under the assumption that the domain $\Omega$ is $C^2$, we prove a…

We ask whether the only multiplicities in the spectrum of the clamped round plate are trivial, i.e., whether all existing multiplicities are due to the isometries of the sphere, or, equivalently, whether any eigenfunction is separated. We…

We prove that the nodal set (zero set) of a solution of a generalized Dirac equation on a Riemannian manifold has codimension 2 at least. If the underlying manifold is a surface, then the nodal set is discrete. We obtain a quick proof of…
