We consider the ensemble of random Gaussian Laplace eigenfunctions on $\mathbb{T}^3=\mathbb{R}^3/\mathbb{Z}^3$ (`$3d$ arithmetic random waves'), and study the distribution of their nodal surface area. The expected area is proportional to…

We study the asymptotic behavior of the solutions of a spectral problem for the Laplacian in a domain with rapidly oscillating boundary. We consider the case where the eigenvalue of the limit problem is multiple. We construct the leading…

The discrete Laplace operator on a triangulated polyhedral surface is related to geometric properties of the surface. This paper studies extremum problems for eigenvalues of the discrete Laplace operators. Among all triangles, an…

We study the existence and properties of metrics maximising the first Laplace eigenvalue among conformal metrics of unit volume on Riemannian surfaces. We describe a general approach to this problem and its higher eigenvalue versions via…

The $i$-th eigenvalue $\lambda_i$ of the Laplace-Beltrami operator on a surface can be considered as a functional on the space of all Riemannian metrics of unit volume on this surface. Surprisingly only few examples of extremal metrics for…

We study a lattice point counting problem for a class of families of domains in a Euclidean space. This class consists of anisotropically expanding bounded domains, which remain unchanged along some fixed linear subspace and expand in…

Consider the Laplacian in a bounded domain in R^d with general (mixed) homogeneous boundary conditions. We prove that its eigenfunctions are `quasi-orthogonal' on the boundary with respect to a certain norm. Boundary orthogonality is proved…

It has been empirically observed that eigenfunctions of Laplace's equation $-\Delta \phi = \lambda \phi$ with Neumann boundary conditions sometimes localize near the boundary of the domain if that boundary is rough (say, fractal). This has…

We study the number of nodal components (connected components of the set of zeroes) of functions in the ensemble of arithmetic random waves, that is, random eigenfunctions of the Laplacian on the flat $d$-dimensional torus $\mathbb{T}^{d}$…

We are interested in the effect of Dirichlet boundary conditions on the nodal length of Laplace eigenfunctions. We study random Gaussian Laplace eigenfunctions on the two dimensional square and find a two terms asymptotic expansion for the…

We prove that every nodal domain of an eigenfunction of the Laplacian of eigenvalue $\lambda$ on a $d$-dimensional closed Riemannian manifold contains a ball of radius $c\lambda^{-1/2}(\log\lambda)^{-(d-2)/2}$. This ball is centered at a…

We consider the Laplace operator with Dirichlet boundary conditions on a planar domain and study the effect that performing a scaling in one direction has on the spectrum. We derive the asymptotic expansion for the eigenvalues and…

A Laplacian eigenfunction on a two-dimensional Riemannian manifold provides a natural partition into Neumann domains (a.k.a. a Morse--Smale complex). This partition is generated by gradient flow lines of the eigenfunction, which bound the…

Fix two parallel circles in $\mathbb{R}^3$ centered about a common axis. Among surfaces of revolution immersed in $\mathbb{R}^3$ whose boundary is given by these circles, there is one which maximizes the first Dirichlet eigenvalue. If the…

We consider a maximization problem for eigenvalues of the Laplace-Beltrami operator on surfaces of revolution in $\mathbb{R}^3$ with two prescribed boundary components. For every $j$, we show that there is a surface $\Sigma_j$ which…

In this paper, we compute the second variation of the first Dirichlet eigenvalue on extremal domains in general Riemannian manifolds and establish a criterion for stability. We classify the stable extremal domains in the 2-sphere and…

Generalizing Courant's nodal domain theorem, the "Extended Courant property" is the statement that a linear combination of the first $n$ eigenfunctions has at most $n$ nodal domains. In a previous paper (Documenta Mathematica, 2018, Vol.…

We consider the Laplacian in a domain squeezed between two parallel hypersurfaces in Euclidean spaces of any dimension, subject to Dirichlet boundary conditions on one of the hypersurfaces and Neumann boundary conditions on the other. We…

We examine the regularity of the extremal solution of the nonlinear eigenvalue problem $\Delta^2 u = \lambda f(u)$ on a general bounded domain $\Omega$ in $ \IR^N$, with the Navier boundary condition $ u=\Delta u =0 $ on $ \pOm$. Here $…

The sum of the first $n \geq 1$ eigenvalues of the Laplacian is shown to be maximal among triangles for the equilateral triangle, maximal among parallelograms for the square, and maximal among ellipses for the disk, provided the ratio…
