We consider the Hodge Laplacian $\Delta$ on the Heisenberg group $H_n$, endowed with a left-invariant and U(n)-invariant Riemannian metric. For $0\le k\le 2n+1$, let $\Delta_k$ denote the Hodge Laplacian restricted to $k$-forms. Our first…
We consider a notion of balanced metrics for triples (X,L,E) which depend on a parameter \alpha, where X is smooth complex manifold with an ample line bundle L and E is a holomorphic vector bundle over X. For generic choice of \alpha, we…

Let $P(E)$ be the projectivization of a holomorphic vector bundle $E$ over a compact complex curve $C$. We characterize the existence of an extremal K\"ahler metric on the ruled manifold $P(E)$ in terms of relative K-polystability and the…
We obtain bounds for the Faltings's delta function for any Riemann surface of genus greater than one. The bounds are in terms of the genus of the surface and two basic quantities coming from hyperbolic geometry: The length of the shortest…
Let $S\subset\mathbb{R}^3$ be a $C^4$-smooth relatively compact orientable surface with a sufficiently regular boundary. For $\beta\in\mathbb{R}_+$, let $E_j(\beta)$ denote the $j$th negative eigenvalue of the operator associated with the…
Let M be a closed compact n-dimensional manifold with n odd. We calculate the first and second variations of the zeta-regularized determinants det^\prime\Lambda and det L as the metric on M varies, where \Delta denotes the Laplacian on…
Kapustin and Witten associate a Hecke modification of a holomorphic bundle over a Riemann surface to a singular monopole on a Riemannian surface times an interval satisfying prescribed boundary conditions. We prove existence and uniqueness…
Given an abstract Wiener space $(X,\gamma,H)$, we consider an open set $O\subseteq X$ which satisfies certain smoothness and mean-curvature conditions. We prove that the rescaled resolvent operator associated to the Ornstein-Uhlenbeck…
We prove a Hardy inequality for uniformly elliptic operators subject to Dirichlet or mixed boundary conditions on domains $\Omega$ with piecewiese smooth boundary in arbitrary Riemannian Manifolds (M, g). Employing an approach of E.B.…
We obtain upper bounds for the eigenvalues of the Schr\"odinger operator $L=\Delta_g+q$ depending on integral quantities of the potential $q$ and a conformal invariant called the min-conformal volume. Moreover, when the Schr\"odinger…

We study the Dirac and the Laplacian operators on orientable Riemann surfaces of arbitrary genus g. In particular we compute their determinants with twisted boundary conditions along the b-cycles. All the ingredients of the final results…
Let $D \subset \mathbb{R}^d$ be a bounded, connected domain with smooth boundary and let $-\Delta u = \mu_1 u$ be the first nontrivial eigenfunction of the Laplace operator with Neumann boundary conditions. We prove $$ \max_{x \in D} ~u(x)…
The Laplace-Beltrami operator of a smooth Riemannian manifold is determined by the Riemannian metric. Conversely, the heat kernel constructed from its eigenvalues and eigenfunctions determines the Riemannian metric. This work proves the…
