The notion of spherically symmetric superfunctions as functions invariant under the orthosymplectic group is introduced. This leads to dimensional reduction theorems for differentiation and integration in superspace. These spherically…

We consider Steklov eigenvalues of three-dimensional, nearly-spherical domains. In previous work, we have shown that the Steklov eigenvalues are analytic functions of the domain perturbation parameter. Here, we compute the first-order term…

In this expository article we show how the concepts of manifolds with corners, blow-ups and resolutions can be used effectively for the construction of quasimodes, i.e. approximate eigenfunctions of the Laplacian on certain families of…

We consider a thin multidomain of $R^N$, N>1, consisting of two vertical cylinders, one placed upon the other: the first one with given height and small cross section, the second one with small thickness and given cross section. In this…

We adopt a geometric perspective on Fock space to provide two complementary insights into the eigenstates in many-body-localized fermionic systems. On the one hand, individual many-bodylocalized eigenstates are well approximated by a Slater…

This short and fairly informal note is an attempt to explain how methods of homological algebra may be brought to bear on problems in symplectic geometry. We do this by looking at a familiar sample question, which is that of the topology of…

We give a sufficient condition for branched minimal immersions of spheres into ellipsoids to be embedded: we show that if the coordinate functions of the branched minimal immersion are first or second eigenfunctions with respect to a…

In this paper, we study the first eigenvalue of the Laplace--Beltrami operator on the Lawson minimal surfaces $\xi_{m,k}$ embedded in the unit three-sphere $\mathbb{S}^3$. Motivated by Yau's conjecture on the first eigenvalue of closed…

The Bargmann-Wigner formalism is adapted to spherical surfaces embedded in three to eleven dimensions. This is demonstrated to generate wave equations in spherical space for a variety of antisymmetric tensor fields. Some of these equations…

In this paper, we consider the eigenvalue problem for Hodge-Laplacian on a Riemannian manifold $M$ isometrically immersed into another Riemannian manifold $\bar M$ for arbitrary codimension. We first assume the pull back Weitzenb\"{o}ck…

An investigation into the properties of a two dimensional (2D+1) system of self propelled particles (known as boids) in free space is conducted using a Lagrangian Individual-Based Model. A potential, associated with each boid is specified…

We prove the existence of an open set $\Omega\subset\mathbb{S}^2$ for which the first positive eigenvalue of the Laplacian with Neumann boundary condition exceeds that of the geodesic disk having the same area. This example holds for large…

Consider the Laplacian in a bounded domain in R^d with general (mixed) homogeneous boundary conditions. We prove that its eigenfunctions are `quasi-orthogonal' on the boundary with respect to a certain norm. Boundary orthogonality is proved…

We suggest a method of construction of general diffeomorphism invariant boundary conditions for metric fluctuations. The case of $d+1$ dimensional Euclidean disk is studied in detail. The eigenvalue problem for the Laplace operator on…

Due to its geometric properties, hyperbolic space can support high-fidelity embeddings of tree- and graph-structured data, upon which various hyperbolic networks have been developed. Existing hyperbolic networks encode geometric priors not…

We prove that equality in a sharp lower bound for the first $p$-eigenvalue of the Hodge Laplacian on closed submanifolds in space forms can occur only on topological spheres, assuming positivity.
