For all convex co-compact hyperbolic surfaces, we prove the existence of an essential spectral gap, that is a strip beyond the unitarity axis in which the Selberg zeta function has only finitely many zeroes. We make no assumption on the…

This note should clarify how the behavior of certain invariant objects reflects the geometric convexity of balanced domains.

We prove that is a measurable domain tiles R or R^2 by translations, and if it is "close enough" to a line segment or a square respectively, then it admits a lattice tiling. We also prove a similar result for spectral sets in dimension 1,…

Consider a square random matrix with independent and identically distributed entries of mean zero and unit variance. We show that as the dimension tends to infinity, the spectral radius is equivalent to the square root of the dimension in…

Providing system-size independent lower bounds on the spectral gap of local Hamiltonian is in general a hard problem. For the case of finite-range, frustration free Hamiltonians on a spin lattice of arbitrary dimension, we show that a…

We formulate several conjectures on mean convex domains in the Euclidean spaces, as well as in more general spaces with lower bonds on their scalar curvatures, and prove a few theorems motivating these conjectures.

In this article we consider area preserving diffeomorphisms of planar domains, and we are interested in their conformal points, i.e., points at which the derivative is a similarity. We present some conditions that guarantee existence of…

We prove two results on convex subsets of Euclidean spaces invariant under an orthogonal group action. First, we show that invariant spectrahedra admit an equivariant spectrahedral description, i.e., can be described by an equivariant…

An application of dimensional reduction results for gradient constrained problems is provided for 3D-2D dimension reduction for supremal functionals, in the case when the domain is convex.

The spectra of digraphs, unlike those of graphs, is a relatively unexplored territory. In a digraph, a separation is a pair of sets of vertices X and Y such that there are no arcs from X and Y . For a subclass of eulerian digraphs, we give…

We study how the existence of a negatively pinched K\"ahler metric on a domain in complex Euclidean space restricts the geometry of its boundary. In particular, we show that if a convex domain admits a complete K\"ahler metric, with pinched…

Let $K$ be a convex pentagon in the plane and let $K_1$ be the pentagon bounded by the diagonals of $K$. It has been conjectured that the maximum of the ratio between the areas of $K_1$ and $K$ is reached when $K$ is an affine regular…

The Geometry of planar domain walls is studied. It is argued that the planar walls indeed have plane symmetry. In the Minkowski coordinates the walls are mapped into revolution paraboloids.

We give a sharp lower bound on the area of a domain that can be enclosed by a closed embedded $\lambda$-convex curve of a given length on the Lobachevsky plane.

We prove a generalization of Gromov's conjecture on scalar curvature rigidity of convex polytopes to arbitrary convex Riemannian polytope type domains via harmonic spinors on convex domians with boundary condition constructed by Brendle. In…

We study the spectral gap behavior of an operator obtained by summing a random permutation $M$ and a deterministic bistochastic matrix $Q$. We are interested in the asymptotic in terms of dimension. In the case where $(M,Q)$ are…

It has been a widely belief that for a planar convex domain with two coordinate axes of symmetry, the location of maximal norm of gradient of torsion function is either linked to contact points of largest inscribed circle or connected to…

For arbitrary planar convex domain, we compute the behavior of Christoffel function up to a constant factor using comparison with other simple reference domains. The lower bound is obtained by constructing an appropriate ellipse contained…

Given any finite set of nonnegative integers, there exists a closed convex set whose facial dimension signature coincides with this set of integers, that is, the dimensions of its nonempty faces comprise exactly this set of integers. In…

We establish a new characterization for a conformal mapping of the unit disk $\mathbb{D}$ to be convex, and identify the mappings onto a half-plane or a parallel strip as extremals. We also show that, with these exceptions, the level sets…
