We consider a pair of isoperimetric problems arising in physics. The first concerns a Schr\"odinger operator in $L^2(\mathbb{R}^2)$ with an attractive interaction supported on a closed curve $\Gamma$, formally given by $-\Delta-\alpha…

We prove an approximation result showing how operators of the type $-\Delta -\gamma \delta (x-\Gamma)$ in $L^2(\mathbb{R}^2)$, where $\Gamma$ is a graph, can be modeled in the strong resolvent sense by point-interaction Hamiltonians with an…

The aim of this review is to provide an overview of a recent work concerning ``leaky'' quantum graphs described by Hamiltonians given formally by the expression $-\Delta -\alpha \delta (x-\Gamma)$ with a singular attractive interaction…

We discuss a pair of isoperimetric problems which at a glance seem to be unrelated. The first one is classical: one places $N$ identical point charges at a closed curve $\Gamma$ at the same arc-length distances and asks about the energy…

We consider a model of a leaky quantum wire with the Hamiltonian $-\Delta -\alpha \delta(x-\Gamma)$ in $L^2(\R^2)$, where $\Gamma$ is a compact deformation of a straight line. The existence of wave operators is proven and the S-matrix is…

We study measure perturbations of the Laplacian in $L^2(\R^2)$ supported by an infinite curve $\Gamma$ in the plane which is asymptotically straight in a suitable sense. We show that if $\Gamma$ is not a straight line, such a ``leaky…

We study a commonly-used second-kind boundary-integral equation for solving the Helmholtz exterior Neumann problem at high frequency, where, writing $\Gamma$ for the boundary of the obstacle, the relevant integral operators map…

We consider the scattering problem for a class of strongly singular Schr\"odinger operators in $L^2(\mathbb{R}R^3)$ which can be formally written as $H_{\alpha,\Gamma}= -\Delta + \delta_\alpha(x-\Gamma)$ where $\alpha\in\mathbb{R}$ is the…

Consider $ G:= PSL_2(\R)\equiv T^1\H^2$, a modular group $ \Gamma$, and the homogeneous space $ \Gamma\sm G \equiv T^1(\Gamma\sm\H^2)$. Endow $ G $, and then $ \Gamma\sm G $, with a canonical left-invariant metric, thereby equipping it with…

We show optimal Lipschitz regularity for very weak solutions of the (measure-valued) elliptic PDE $-\mathrm{div}(A(x) \nabla u) = Q \; \mathcal{H}^{n-1} \llcorner \Gamma$ in a smooth domain $\Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^n$. Here $\Gamma$ is a…

We establish an $L^2$-Gamma index theorem for the Dirac operator on a globally hyperbolic manifold $M$ with Cauchy hypersurface $\Sigma$ being a Galois covering of a compact smooth manifold with Galois group $\Gamma$. Our argument rewrites…

We investigate the geometry of a random rational lemniscate $\Gamma$, the level set $\{|r(z)|=1\}$ on the Riemann sphere of the modulus of a random rational function $r$. We assign a probability distribution to the space of rational…

We study the Schr\"odinger operator $-\Delta -\alpha \delta (x-\Gamma)$ in $L^2(\R^3)$ with a $\delta$ interaction supported by an infinite non-planar surface $\Gamma$ which is smooth, admits a global normal parameterization with a…

In this article we study asymptotic properties of certain discrete groups $\Gamma$ acting by isometries on a product $\XX=\XX_1\times \XX_2$ of locally compact Hadamard spaces. The motivation comes from the fact that Kac-Moody groups over…

Non-relativistic conformally invariant systems in a rotating cosmic string (conical) spacetime are analyzed at the classical and quantum levels by means of the gravitoelectromagnetic interpretation of the background. Solutions of the…

Let $X=X_1\times X_2$ be a product of two rank one symmetric spaces of non-compact type and $\Gamma$ a torsion-free discrete subgroup in $G_1\times G_2$. We show that the spectrum of $\Gamma \backslash X$ is related to the asymptotic growth…

For $n\geq 3$ and $\Gamma$ a cocompact lattice acting on the hyperbolic space $\mathbb{H}^n$, we investigate the average behaviour of the error term in the circle problem. First, we explore the local average of the error term over compact…

In this paper we discuss the Mather problem for stationary Lagrangians, that is Lagrangians $L:\Rr^n\times \Rr^n\times \Omega\to \Rr$, where $\Omega$ is a compact metric space on which $\Rr^n$ acts through an action which leaves $L$…

We formulate and study an elliptic transmission-like problem combining local and nonlocal elements. Let $\mathbb{R}^{n}$ be separated into two components by a smooth hypersurface $\Gamma$. On one side of $\Gamma$, a function satisfies a…

Let $R$ be a compact surface and let $\Gamma$ be a Jordan curve which separates $R$ into two connected components $\Sigma_1$ and $\Sigma_2$. A harmonic function $h_1$ on $\Sigma_1$ of bounded Dirichlet norm has boundary values $H$ in a…
