We study the Laplace operator with Dirichlet or Neumann boundary condition on polygons in the Euclidean plane. We prove that almost every simply connected polygon with at least four vertices has simple spectrum. We also address the more…

We consider a first order operator with a periodic 3x3 matrix potential on the real line. This operator appears in the problem of the periodic vector NLS equation. The spectrum of the operator covers the real line, it is union of the…

It is well-known that band gaps, in the frequency domain, can be achieved by using periodic metamaterials. However it has been challenging to design materials with broad band gaps or that have multiple overlapping band gaps. For periodic…

In this paper we consider the spectrum of the self-adjoint differential operator L generated by the differential expression of order n with the m by m periodic matrix coefficients, where n and m are respectively odd and even integers and…

In this article, we analyze the spectrum of discrete magnetic Laplacians (DML) on an infinite covering graph $\widetilde{G} \rightarrow G=\widetilde{G} /\Gamma$ with (Abelian) lattice group $\Gamma$ and periodic magnetic potential…

We show that 2D periodic operators with local and perpendicular defects form an algebra. We provide an algorithm of finding spectrum for such operators. While the continuous spectral components can be computed by simple algebraic operations…

In this paper, we establish a condition on the coefficients of differential operators generated in the space of square-integrable functions on the entire real line by an ordinary differential expression with periodic, complex-valued…

We study relationships between asymptotic geometry of submanifolds in the hyperbolic space and their regularity properties near the ideal boundary, revisiting some of the related results in the literature. In particular, we discuss…

We study the property of spectral-tightness of Riemannian manifolds, which means that the bottom of the spectrum of the Laplacian separates the universal covering space from any other normal covering space of a Riemannian manifold. We prove…

Let $\Gamma$ be an arbitrary $\mathbb{Z}^n$-periodic metric graph, which does not coincide with a line. We consider the Hamiltonian $\mathcal{H}_\varepsilon$ on $\Gamma$ with the action $-\varepsilon^{-1}{\mathrm{d}^2/\mathrm{d} x^2}$ on…

We provide a simplified proof of the existence, under some assumptions, of a spectral gap for the Perron-Frobenius operator of piecewise uniformly expanding maps on Riemannian manifolds when acting on some Sobolev spaces. Its consequences…

Given a complete non-compact surface embedded in R^3, we consider the Dirichlet Laplacian in a layer of constant width about the surface. Using an intrinsic approach to the layer geometry, we generalise the spectral results of an original…

It is well-known that any covering space of a Riemannian manifold has the natural structure of a Riemannian manifold. This article contains a noncommutative generalization of this fact. Since any Riemannian manifold with a Spin-structure…

We study the deformations of a holomorphic symplectic manifold $M$, not necessarily compact, over a formal ring. We show (under some additional, but mild, assumptions on $M$) that the coarse deformation space exists and is smooth,…

We consider a two-dimensional periodic Schr\"odinger operator $H=-\Delta+W$ with $\Gamma$ being the lattice of periods. We investigate the structure of the edges of open gaps in the spectrum of $H$. We show that under arbitrary small…

We discuss upper and lower bounds for the size of gaps in the length spectrum of negatively curved manifolds. For manifolds with algebraic generators for the fundamental group, we establish the existence of exponential lower bounds for the…

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.…

We consider the operator ${d^4dt^4}+V$ on the real line with a real periodic potential $V$. The spectrum of this operator is absolutely continuous and consists of intervals separated by gaps. We define a Lyapunov function which is analytic…

According to the Arnold conjectures and Floer's proofs, there are non-trivial lower bounds for the number of periodic solutions of Hamiltonian differential equations on a closed symplectic manifold whose symplectic form vanishes on spheres.…

We consider the Laplace operator in a planar waveguide, i.e., an infinite two-dimensional straight strip of constant width, with particular types of Robin boundary conditions. We study the essential spectrum of the corresponding Laplacian…
