Related papers: On the Spectral Gap for Convex Domains

Let $\Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^n$ be a convex domain and let $f:\Omega \rightarrow \mathbb{R}$ be a positive, subharmonic function (i.e. $\Delta f \geq 0$). Then $$ \frac{1}{|\Omega|} \int_{\Omega}{f dx} \leq \frac{c_n}{ |\partial \Omega| }…

We estimate the size of the spectral gap at zero for some Hermitian block matrices. Included are quasi-definite matrices, quasi-semidefinite matrices (the closure of the set of the quasi-definite matrices) and some related block matrices…

While there is extensive literature on approximation of convex bodies by inscribed or circumscribed polytopes, much less is known in the case of generally positioned polytopes. Here we give upper and lower bounds for approximation of convex…

We give in this article necessary and sufficient conditions on the topology of rationally and polynomially convex domains.

It is widely known that the spectrum of the Dirichlet Laplacian is stable under small perturbations of a domain, while in the case of the Neumann or mixed boundary conditions the spectrum may abruptly change. In this work we discuss an…

In this paper, we prove that the closure of a bounded pseudoconvex domain, which is spirallike with respect to a globally asymptotic stable holomorphic vector field, is polynomially convex. We also provide a necessary and sufficient…

In this paper, we show that any convex affine domain with a nonempty limit sets on the boundary under the action of the identity component of the automorphism group cannot cover a compact affine manifold with a parallel volume, which is a…

We thoroughly analyse the double-layer potential's role in approaches to spectral sets in the spirit of Delyon--Delyon, Crouzeix and Crouzeix--Palencia. While the potential is well-studied, we aim to clarify on several of its aspects in…

In this paper, the existence of parabolic boundary points of certain convex domains in $\mathbb C^2$ is given. On the other hand, the nonexistence of parabolic boundary points of infinite type of certain domains in $\mathbb C^2$ is also…

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…

A bounded domain in several complex variables with connected Lipschitz boundary is pseudoconvex if and only if the bottom of the (essential) spectrum of the Kohn Laplacian is positive on all (0, q)-forms with square-integrable coefficients.

In this paper, we obtain a sharp upper bound for the spectral radius of a nonnegative matrix. This result is used to present upper bounds for the adjacency spectral radius, the Laplacian spectral radius, the signless Laplacian spectral…

In [SWW16, HW17] it is shown that the difference of the first two eigenvalues of the Laplacian with Dirichlet boundary condition on convex domain with diameter $D$ of sphere $\mathbb S^n$ is $\geq 3 \frac{\pi^2}{D^2}$ when $n \geq 3$. We…

This work establishes fractional analogues of Korn's first and second inequalities for vector fields in fractional Sobolev spaces defined over a bounded domain. The validity of the inequalities require no additional boundary condition,…

Given a convex domain $C$, a $C$-polygon is an intersection of $n\geq 2$ homothets of $C$. If the homothets are translates of $C$ then we call the intersection a translative $C$-polygon. This paper proves that if $C$ is a strictly convex…

For the Laplace operator with Dirichlet boundary conditions on convex domains in $\mathbb H^n$, $n\geq 2$, we prove that the product of the fundamental gap with the square of the diameter can be arbitrarily small for domains of any…

In this article we prove a global result in the spirit of Basener's theorem regarding the relation between q-pseudoconvexity and q-holomorphic convexity: we prove that any smoothly bounded strictly q-pseudoconvex open subset of the complex…

In this article, we address the following question: Is it true that the spatial numerical range (SNR) $V_A(a)$ of an element $a$ in a normed algebra $(A, \|\cdot\|)$ is always convex? If the normed algebra is unital, then it is convex…

In this paper, we study a reverse isoperimetric inequality for planar convex bodies whose radius of curvature is between two positive numbers 0 < $\alpha$ < $\beta$, called ($\alpha$, $\beta$)--convex bodies. We show that among planar…

We introduce the notion of extremal basis of tangent vector fields at a boundary point of finite type of a pseudo-convex domain in $\mathbb{C}^n$. Then we define the class of geometrically separated domains at a boundary point, and give a…
