We study how the number of nodal domains of eigenfunctions of Schr\"odinger operators $-\Delta_{g_t}+V_t$ on closed surfaces changes under smooth perturbations of $(g_t,V_t)$ along convergent eigenbranches. Locally, near each nodal critical…

We study the number of nodal domains of toral Laplace eigenfunctions. Following Nazarov-Sodin's results for random fields and Bourgain's de-randomisation procedure we establish a precise asymptotic result for "generic" eigenfunctions. Our…

The dependence on the domain is studied for the Dirichlet eigenvalues of an elliptic operator considered in bounded domains. Their proximity is measured by a norm of the difference of two orthogonal projectors corresponding to the reference…

We prove the existence of extremal domains for the first eigenvalue of the Laplace-Beltrami operator in some compact Riemannian manifolds of dimension $n \geq 2$, with volume close to the volume of the manifold. If the first (positive)…

We consider the Dirichlet Laplacian in a family of narrow unbounded domains. As the width of these domains goes to 0, we study the asymptotic behavior of the eigenvalues that lie below the essential spectrum and the asymptotic behavior of…

We discuss the asymptotic lower bound on the inner radius of nodal domains that arise from Laplacian eigenfunctions $ \phi_\lambda $ on a closed Riemannian manifold $ (M,g) $. First, in the real-analytic case we present an improvement of…

We study the volume distribution of nodal domains of random band-limited functions on generic manifolds, and find that in the high energy limit a typical instance obeys a deterministic universal law, independent of the manifold. Some of the…

We show that Steklov eigenfunctions in a bounded Lipschitz domain have wavelength dense nodal sets near the boundary, in contrast to what can happen deep inside the domain. As a converse, in a two-dimensional Lipschitz domain $\Omega$, we…
