We give a lower estimate of the gap of the first two eigenvalues of the Schrodinger operator in the case when the potential is strongly convex. In particular, if the Hessian of the potential is bounded from below by a positive constant, the…

The fundamental gap is the difference between the first two Dirichlet eigenvalues of a Schr\"odinger operator (and the Laplacian, in particular). For horoconvex domains in hyperbolic space, Nguyen, Stancu and Wei conjectured that it is…

We study the first Dirichlet eigenfunction of a class of Schr\"odinger operators with a convex potential V on a domain $\Omega$. We find two length scales $L_1$ and $L_2$, and an orientation of the domain $\Omega$, which determine the shape…

Motivated by an example of Shih, we compute the fundamental gap of a family of convex domains in the hyperbolic plane $\mathbb H^2$, showing that for some of them $\lambda_2 - \lambda_1 < \frac{3\pi^2}{D^2}$, where $D$ is the diameter of…

Consider a closed curve of length $2\pi$ with curvature $\kappa(s)$ and the Schr\"odinger operator $H$ with $\kappa^2$ as the potential term. Let $\lambda_\Gamma$ be the lowest eigenvalue of $H$. The Ovals Conjecture proposed by Benguria…

A lower bound estimate \lambda_2 - \lambda_1 \ge c \lambda_1^{-d / \alpha} (\diam D)^{-d - \alpha} for the spectral gap of the Dirichlet fractional Laplacian on arbitrary bounded domain D is proved. This follows from a variational formula…

This paper deals with the Neumann eigenvalue problem for the Hermite operator defined in a convex, possibly unbounded, planar domain $\Omega$, having one axis of symmetry passing through the origin. We prove a sharp lower bound for the…

Let $(M,g)$ be a compact $n$-dimensional Riemannian manifold with nonempty boundary and $n\geq 2$. Assume that ${\mathrm{Ric}(M)\ge (n-1)K}$ for some ${K>0}$ and that $\partial M$ has nonnegative mean curvature with respect to the outward…
