Petrecca and R\"oser (2018, \cite{Petrecca2019}), and Schueth (2017, \cite{Schueth2017}) had shown that for a generic $G$-invariant metric $g$ on certain compact homogeneous spaces $M=G/K$ (including symmetric spaces of rank 1 and some Lie…

The Laplace-Beltrami operator on cusp manifolds has continuous spectrum. The resonances are complex numbers that replace the discrete spectrum of the compact case. They are the poles of a meromorphic function $\varphi(s)$, $s\in…

The standard Laplace operator is a generalization of the Hodge Laplace operator on differential forms to arbitrary geometric vector bundles, alternatively it can be seen as generalization of the Casimir operator acting on sections of…

Let $X=G/H$ be a symmetric space for a real simple Lie group $G$, equipped with a $G$-invariant complex structure. Then, $X$ is a pseudo-Hermitian manifold, and in this geometric setting, higher Laplacians $L_m$ are defined for each…

For a smooth, compact Riemannian manifold (M,g) of dimension $N \geg 3$, we are interested in the critical equation $$\Delta_g u+(N-2/4(N-1) S_g+\epsilon h)u=u^{N+2/N-2} in M, u>0 in M,$$ where \Delta_g is the Laplace--Beltrami operator,…

In this paper we study the asymptotic behavior of second-order uniformly elliptic operators on weighted Riemannian manifolds. They naturally emerge when studying spectral properties of the Laplace-Beltrami operator on families of manifolds…

Let $M$ denote a compact, connected Riemannian manifold of dimension $n\in{\mathbb N}$. We assume that $ M$ has a smooth and connected boundary. Denote by $g$ and ${\rm d}v_g$ respectively, the Riemannian metric on $M$ and the associated…

Suppose that $M$ is a connected orientable $n$-dimensional manifold and $m>2n$. If $H^i(M,\R)=0$ for $i>0$, it is proved that for each $m$ there is a monomorphism $H^m(W_n,\on{O}(n))\to H^m_{\on{cont}}(\on{Diff}M,\R)$. If $M$ is closed and…

We use Lie-theoretic methods to explicitly compute the full spectrum of the Laplace--Beltrami operator on homogeneous spheres which occur as geodesic distance spheres in (compact or noncompact) symmetric spaces of rank one, and provide a…

Let H be the discrete 3-dimensional Heisenberg group with the standard generators x, y, z. The element Delta of the group algebra for H of the form Delta= (x+x^{-1}+y+y^{-1})/4 is called the Laplace operator. This operator can also be…

This paper examines the behavior of a positive solution $u\in C^{1,\alpha}(\Bar{\Omega})$ of the $(p,q)$ Laplace equation with a singular term and zero Dirichlet boundary condition. Specifically, we consider the equation: \begin{equation*}…

We prove that the answer to the "zero-in-the-spectrum" conjecture, in its form, suggested by J. Lott, is negative. Namely, we show that for any n > 5 there exists a closed n-dimensional manifold M, so that zero does not belong to the…

We show that if $G\times M \to M$ is a cohomogeneity one action of a compact connected Lie group $G$ on a compact connected manifold $M$ then $H^*_G(M)$ is a Cohen-Macaulay module over $H^*(BG)$. Moreover, this module is free if and only if…

Let $p$ be an idempotent ultrafilter over $\mathbb{N}$. For a positive integer $N$, let ${\cal P}_{\leq N}$ denote the additive group of polynomials $P\in\mathbb{Z}[x]$ with ${\rm deg}\, P\leq N$ and $P(0)=0$. Given a unitary operator $U$…
