We derive a sharp upper bound for the first eigenvalue $\lambda_{1,p}$ of the $p$-Laplacian on asymptotically hyperbolic manifolds for $1<p<\infty$. We then prove that a particular class of conformally compact submanifolds within…

Let $(M,g)$ be a compact Riemannian manifold of dimension $n\geq 3$. For a metric $g$ on $M$, we let $\la_2(g)$ be the second eigenvalue of the Yamabe operator $L_g:= \frac{4(n-1)}{n-2} \Delta_g + \scal_g$. Then, the second Yamabe invariant…

We deal with eigenvalue problems for the Laplacian on noncompact Riemannian manifolds $M$ of finite volume. Sharp conditions ensuring $L^q(M)$ and $L^\infty (M)$ bounds for eigenfunctions are exhibited in terms of either the isoperimetric…

We develop a geometric invariant Littlewood-Paley theory for arbitrary tensors on a compact 2 dimensional manifold. We show that all the important features of the classical LP theory survive with estimates which depend only on very limited…

Let $S$ be a noncompact, finite area hyperbolic surface of type $(g, n)$. Let $\Delta_S$ denote the Laplace operator on $S$. As $S$ varies over the {\it moduli space} ${\mathcal{M}_{g, n}}$ of finite area hyperbolic surfaces of type $(g,…
