Electromagnetics and Acoustics on a bounded domain are governed by the Helmholtz's equation; when such a domain is a [pre-]fractal described by means of a `just-touching' Iterated Function System (IFS) spectral decomposition of the…

In this thesis I demonstrate that isospectral domains, that is domains of differing geometric shapes that possess identical spectra, do not remain isospectral when subject to uniform rotation. One thus *can* hear the shape of a rotating…

All the known counterexamples to Kac' famous question "can one hear the shape of a drum", i.e., does isospectrality of two Laplacians on domains imply that the domains are congruent, consist of pairs of domains composed of copies of…

While nuclear magnetic resonance diffusion experiments are widely used to resolve structures confining the diffusion process, it has been elusive whether they can exactly reveal these structures. This question is closely related to X-ray…

It is well known that certain pairs of planar domains have the same spectra of the Laplacian operator. We prove that these domains are still isospectral for a wider class of physical problems, including the cases of heterogeneous drums and…

It is proved that the measurement of the acoustic pressure on the ear membrane allows one to determine the shape of the ear $ uniquely.

Several types of systems were put forward during the past decades to show that there exist {\it isospectral} systems which are {\it metrically} different. One important class consists of Laplace Beltrami operators for pairs of flat tori in…

We address a maximally structured case of the question, "Can you hear your location on a manifold," posed in arXiv:2304.04659 for dimension $2$. In short, we show that if a compact surface without boundary sounds the same at every point,…

It is proved that the measurement of the acoustic pressure on the ear membrane allows one to determine the shape of the ear channel uniquely.

We give a number of examples of isospectral pairs of plane domains, and a particularly simple method of proving isospectrality. One of our examples is a pair of domains that are not only isospectral but homophonic: Each domain has a…

We establish two-sided estimates for the fundamental frequency (the lowest eigenvalue) of the Laplacian in an open subset G of R^n with the Dirichlet boundary condition. This is done in terms of the interior capacitary radius of G which is…

Assume that a ground-based vehicle moves in a room with walls or other planar surfaces. Can the vehicle reconstruct the positions of the walls from the echoes of a single sound event? We assume that the vehicle carries some microphones and…

We study the cyclotron resonance in the electron-hole joint Fermi surface of a type-II Weyl semimetal. In magnetic field, the electron and hole pockets touching at the Weyl node are hybridized to form quantized Landau levels corresponding…

Exploring the relationship between geometry and the resonant frequencies of a shape is of interest to pure and applied mathematicians. These resonant frequencies are related to the spectrum of the Laplacian, a partial differential operator.…

In this article we discuss pointwise spectral rigidity results for several billiard systems (e.g., Birkhoff billiards, symplectic billiards and $4$-th billiards), showing that a single value of Mather's $\beta$-function can determine…

Could we hear the pop of a wave-function collapse, and if so, what would it sound like? There exist reconstructions or modifications of quantum mechanics (collapse models) where this archetypal signature of randomness exists and can in…

Observation of resonance modes is the most straightforward way of studying mechanical oscillations because these modes have maximum response to stimuli. However, a deeper understanding of mechanical motion could be obtained by also looking…

We study the asymptotic growth of the eigenvalues of the Laplace-Beltrami operator on singular Riemannian manifolds, where all geometrical invariants appearing in classical spectral asymptotics are unbounded, and the total volume can be…

We show that one can reconstruct the shape of a room with planar walls from the first-order echoes received by four non-planar microphones placed on a drone with generic position and orientation. Both the cases where the source is located…

We consider a strongly damped wave equation on compact manifolds, both with and without boundaries, and formulate the corresponding inverse problems. For closed manifolds, we prove that the metric can be uniquely determined, up to an…
