We investigate the asymptotic spectral distribution of the twisted Laplacian associated with a real harmonic 1-form on a compact hyperbolic surface. In particular, we establish a sublinear lower bound on the number of eigenvalues in a…

In this paper we give a method to geometrically modify an open set such that the first $k$ eigenvalues of the Dirichlet Laplacian and its perimeter are not increasing, its measure remains constant, and both perimeter and diameter decrease…

A closed 1-form $\Theta$ on a manifold induces a perturbation $d_\Theta$ of the de~Rham complex. This perturbation was originally introduced Witten for exact $\Theta$, and later extended by Novikov to the case of arbitrary closed $\Theta$.…
