Let $P$ be an operator of Dirac type on a compact Riemannian manifold with smooth boundary. We impose spectral boundary conditions and study the asymptotics of the heat trace of the associated operator of Laplace type.
We use variational methods to derive Hadamard-type formulae for the eigenvalues of a class of elliptic operators on a compact Riemannian manifold $M$. We then apply the latter in the following context. Consider a family of elliptic…
Upper bounds of the first non-trivial eigenvalue $\lambda_1$ of the Laplace operator of a compact submanifold $M^n$ of Euclidean space $\R^{m+1}$, by means of a new technique, are obtained. Each of the upper bounds of $\lambda_1$ depends on…
A theoretical and experimental investigation of the effects of mode coupling in a resonant macro- scopic quantum device is achieved in the case of a ring laser. In particular, we show both analytically and experimentally that such a device…

A random Lie group action on a compact manifold generates a discrete time Markov process. The main object of this paper is the evaluation of associated Birkhoff sums in a regime of weak, but sufficiently effective coupling of the…
We develop a general compactification framework to facilitate analysis of nonlinear nonautonomous ODEs where nonautonomous terms decay asymptotically. The strategy is to compactify the problem: the phase space is augmented with a bounded…
The discrete Laplace operator is ubiquitous in spectral shape analysis, since its eigenfunctions are provably optimal in representing smooth functions defined on the surface of the shape. Indeed, subspaces defined by its eigenfunctions have…
Observational data hints at a finite universe, with spherical manifolds such as the Poincare dodecahedral space tentatively providing the best fit. Simulating the physics of a model universe requires knowing the eigenmodes of the Laplace…

We revisit the well-established regularity estimates on harmonic maps on surfaces to question their independence with respect to the dimension of the target manifold. We are mainly interested in harmonic maps into target ellipsoids, that we…
We present several applications of mode matching methods in spectral and scattering problems. First, we consider the eigenvalue problem for the Dirichlet Laplacian in a finite cylindrical domain that is split into two subdomains by a…
We study the eigenvalues of the Laplacian with a strong attractive Robin boundary condition in curvilinear polygons. It was known from previous works that the asymptotics of several first eigenvalues is essentially determined by the corner…

A method is proposed for evaluation of single and double layer potentials of the Laplace and Helmholtz equations on piecewise smooth manifold boundary elements with constant densities. The method is based on a novel two-term decomposition…
We discuss inverse resonance scattering for the Laplacian on a rotationally symmetric manifold $M = (0,\infty) \times Y$ whose rotation radius is constant outside some compact interval. The Laplacian on $M$ is unitarily equivalent to a…
