We prove the Hot Spot conjecture on the Vicsek set. Specifically, we show that every eigenfunction of the second smallest eigenvalue of the Neumann Laplacian on the Vicsek set attains its maximum and minimum on the boundary.
We generalize a classical inequality between the eigenvalues of the Laplacians with Neumann and Dirichlet boundary conditions on bounded, planar domains: in 1955, Payne proved that below the $k$-th eigenvalue of the Dirichlet Laplacian…
We investigate the "hot--spots" property for the survival time probability of Brownian motion with killing and reflection in planar convex domains whose boundary consists of two curves, one of which is an arc of a circle, intersecting at…
We introduce a conjecture that we call the {\it Two Hyperplane Conjecture}, saying that an isoperimetric surface that divides a convex body in half by volume is trapped between parallel hyperplanes. The conjecture is motivated by an…
We use probabilistic tools based on Brownian motion and Feynman-Kac formulae to investigate the heat profile for the ground state Dirichlet and second Neumann eigenfunctions. Among other topics, we comment on supremum norm bounds for ground…
The Hot Spots constant for bounded smooth domains was recently introduced by Steinerberger (2021) as a means to control the global extrema of the first nontrivial eigenfunction of the Neumann Laplacian by its boundary extrema. We generalize…
We consider the magnetic Laplacian with the homogeneous magnetic field in two and three dimensions. We prove that the $(k+1)$-th magnetic Neumann eigenvalue of a bounded convex planar domain is not larger than its $k$-th magnetic Dirichlet…
This article investigates a spectral problem of the Laplace operator in a two-dimensional bounded domain perforated by a small arbitrary star-shaped hole and on the smooth boundary of which the Neumann boundary condition is imposed. It is…
The hot spots ratio of a domain $\Omega\subset \mathbb{R}^d$ measures the degree of failure of Rauch's hot spots conjecture on that domain. We identify the largest possible value of this ratio over all connected Lipschitz domains…
We prove that the second positive Neumann eigenvalue of a bounded simply-connected planar domain of a given area does not exceed the first positive Neumann eigenvalue on a disk of a twice smaller area. This estimate is sharp and attained by…
We establish two new universal inequalities for Neumann eigenvalues of the Laplacian on a planar convex domain.
Given the Laplacian on a planar, convex domain with piecewise linear boundary subject to mixed Dirichlet-Neumann boundary conditions, we provide a sufficient condition for its lowest eigenvalue to dominate the lowest eigenvalue of the…
In this paper, we study the scale-invariant quantity \[\mathcal{G}(\Omega)=\frac{\|\partial_n u_1\|_{L^\infty(\partial\Omega)}}{\lambda_1},\]where $u_1$ is the first $L^2$-normalized Dirichlet Laplace eigenfunction of a Euclidean domain…
On a convex bounded Euclidean domain, the ground state for the Laplacian with Neumann boundary conditions is a constant, while the Dirichlet ground state is log-concave. The Robin eigenvalue problem can be considered as interpolating…
We consider the Laplacian in a domain squeezed between two parallel hypersurfaces in Euclidean spaces of any dimension, subject to Dirichlet boundary conditions on one of the hypersurfaces and Neumann boundary conditions on the other. We…
We consider the eigenvalues of the Dirichlet and Neumann Laplacians on a bounded domain with Lipschitz boundary and prove two-term asymptotics for their Riesz means of arbitrary positive order. Moreover, when the underlying domain is…
In this paper, we establish the Weinstock inequality for the first non-zero Steklov eigenvalue on star-shaped mean convex domains in hyperbolic space $\mathbb{H}^n$ for $n \geq 4$. In particular, when the domain is convex, our result gives…
We extend the buckling and clamped-plate problems to the context of differential forms on compact Riemannian manifolds with smooth boundary. We characterize their smallest eigenvalues and prove that, in the case of bounded Euclidean…
In this article, we extend a result of L. Loomis and W. Rudin, regarding boundary behavior of positive harmonic functions on the upper half space $\R_+^{n+1}$. We show that similar results remain valid for more general approximate…
The eigenvalue problem for the Laplacian on bounded, planar, convex domains with mixed boundary conditions is considered, where a Dirichlet boundary condition is imposed on a part of the boundary and a Neumann boundary condition on its…
