In the first part of this paper we begin the study of polysymplectic manifolds, and of their relationship with PDE's. This notion provides a generalization of symplectic manifolds which is very well suited for the geometric study of PDE's…

In analogy with classical results in Riemannian geometry, we establish estimates for the first eigenvalue of the Laplace-de Rham operator on complete balanced Hermitian manifolds in terms of either the holomorphic Ricci curvature or the…

In our previous work we introduced, for a Riemannian surface $S$, the quantity $ \Lambda(S):=\inf_F\lambda_0(F)$, where $\lambda_0(F)$ denotes the first Dirichlet eigenvalue of $F$ and the infimum is taken over all compact subsurfaces $F$…

We give a general construction of extremal Kaehler metrics on the total space of certain holomorphic submersions, extending results of Dervan-Sektnan, Fine, and Hong. We consider submersions whose fibres admit a degeneration to Kaehler…

This paper is devoted to the study of the conformal spectrum (and more precisely the first eigenvalue) of the Laplace-Beltrami operator on a smooth connected compact Riemannian surface without boundary, endowed with a conformal class. We…

The multisymplectic formalism of field theories developed by many mathematicians over the last fifty years is extended in this work to deal with manifolds that have boundaries. In particular, we develop a multisymplectic framework for first…

Horn's problem was the following: given two Hermitian matrices with known spectra, what might be the eigenvalue spectrum of the sum? This linear algebra problem is exactly of the sort to be approached with the methods of modern Hamiltonian…

We try to present an estimate relating the first Dirichlet and Neumann eigenvalues of a compact bordered Riemannian surface.

In 1980 Yang and Yau~\cite{YY} proved the celebrated upper bound for the first eigenvalue on an orientable surface of genus $\gamma$. Later Li and Yau~\cite{LY} gave a simple proof of this bound by introducing the concept of conformal…

Two boundary value problems for the Helmholtz equation in a semi-infinite strip are considered. The main feature of these problems is that, in addition to the function and its normal derivative on the boundary, the functionals of the…

We use properties of symplectic capacities that were recently defined by Hutchings to obtain upper bounds on the minimal action of Reeb orbits on fiberwise star-shaped hypersurfaces $\Sigma \subset T^*S^2$. In addition, we introduce the…

Let $M$ be a closed hypersurface in a noncompact rank-1 symmetric space $(\bar{\mathbb{M}}, ds^2)$ with $-4 \leq K_{\bar{\mathbb{M}}} \leq -1,$ or in a complete, simply connected Riemannian manifold $\mathbb{M}$ such that $0 \leq…

Riemannian optimization is concerned with problems, where the independent variable lies on a smooth manifold. There is a number of problems from numerical linear algebra that fall into this category, where the manifold is usually specified…

For any Riemannian metric $ds^2$ on a compact surface of genus $g$, Yang and Yau proved that the normalized first eigenvalue of the Laplacian $\lambda_1(ds^2)Area(ds^2)$ is bounded in terms of the genus. In particular, if $\Lambda_1(g)$ is…

An important question with a rich history is the extent to which the symplectic category is larger than the Kaehler category. Many interesting examples of non-Kaehler symplectic manifolds have been constructed. However, sufficiently large…

Let $M$ be a holomorphic symplectic K\"ahler manifold equipped with a Lagrangian fibration $\pi$ with compact fibers. The base of this manifold is equipped with a special K\"ahler structure, that is, a K\"ahler structure $(I, g, \omega)$…

It is shown that the geometry of locally homogeneous multisymplectic manifolds (that is, smooth manifolds equipped with a closed nondegenerate form of degree > 1, which is locally homogeneous of degree k with respect to a local Euler field)…

The symplectic Stiefel manifold, denoted by $\mathrm{Sp}(2p,2n)$, is the set of linear symplectic maps between the standard symplectic spaces $\mathbb{R}^{2p}$ and $\mathbb{R}^{2n}$. When $p=n$, it reduces to the well-known set of $2n\times…

Using the definition of a Finsler--Laplacian given by the first author, we show that two bi-Lipschitz Finsler metrics have a controlled spectrum. We deduce from that several generalizations of Riemannian results. In particular, we show that…

In this paper we consider a geometric variant of Hofer's symplectic energy, which was first considered by Eliashberg and Hofer in connection with their study of the extent to which the interior of a region in a symplectic manifold…
