Study Cheeger inequalities for Riemannian manifolds with boundary.

Negative curvature manifolds have vanishing bounded volume class if and only if Cheeger constant is positive.

In this paper, we consider Cheeger's constant and the first eigenvalue of the nonlinear Laplacian on closed Finsler manifolds. Being based on these, we establish Cheeger's inequality and Buser's inequality for closed Finsler manifolds.

Estimates eigenvalues and spectrum for graph substructures using isocapacitary constants.

New metric measure space theory for Lipschitz constants.

The paper bounds Cheeger ratios of eigenfunctions and their level sets.

We introduce notions of Cheeger constants for graphons and graphings. We prove Cheeger and Buser inequalities for these. On the way we prove co-area formulae for graphons and graphings.

In this paper, we study eigenvalues and eigenfunctions of $p$-Laplacians with Dirichlet boundary condition on graphs. We characterize the first eigenfunction (and the maximum eigenfunction for a bipartite graph) via the sign condition. By the uniqueness of the first eigenfunction of $p$-Laplacian, as $p\to 1,$ we ident…

We compute the Cheeger constants of a collection of hyperbolic surfaces corresponding to maximal non-compact arithmetic Fuchsian groups, and to subgroups which are the rotation subgroup of maximal reflection groups. The Cheeger constants are geometric quantities, but relate to the smallest eigenvalues of Maass cusp for…

We show that the Cheeger isoperimetric constant of a solvable simply connected Lie group $G$ with Lie algebra $\G$ is $h(G)=\max_{H\in\G,||H||=1} \tr(\ad (H))$.

We obtain an estimate of the Cheeger isoperimetric constant in terms of the volume growth for a properly immersed submanifold in a Riemannian manifold which possesses at least one pole and sectional curvature bounded from above .

We show how 'test' vector fields may be used to give lower bounds for the Cheeger constant of a Euclidean domain (or Riemannian manifold with boundary), and hence for the lowest eigenvalue of the Dirichlet Laplacian on the domain. Also, we show that a continuous version of the classical Max Flow Min Cut Theorem for net…

The paper studies eigenvalue problems on manifolds and recovers known inequalities.

We prove a Cheeger inequality for the first positive Steklov eigenvalue. It involves two isoperimetric constants.

New proofs of Cheeger-like inequalities for coexact 1-forms on hyperbolic manifolds.

We use the concept of intrinsic metrics to give a new definition for an isoperimetric constant of a graph. We use this novel isoperimetric constant to prove a Cheeger-type estimate for the bottom of the spectrum which is nontrivial even if the vertex degrees are unbounded.

We give a brief literature review of the isoperimetric problem and discuss its relationship with the Cheeger constant of Riemannian $n$-manifolds. For some non-compact, finite area 2-manifolds, we prove the existence and regularity of subsets whose isoperimetric ratio is equal to the Cheeger constant. To do this, we us…

Lower bounds for eigenvalues on manifolds with boundary conditions.

We prove a lower bound for the $k$-th Steklov eigenvalues in terms of an isoperimetric constant called the $k$-th Cheeger-Steklov constant in three different situations: finite spaces, measurable spaces, and Riemannian manifolds. These lower bounds can be considered as higher order Cheeger type inequalities for the Ste…

Sharp isoperimetric inequality on Finsler manifolds with non-negative Ricci curvature.

We prove a uniform version of the Tits alternative. As a consequence, we obtain uniform lower bounds for the Cheeger constant of Cayley grahs of finitely generated non virtually solvable linear groups in arbitrary characteristic. Also we show that the algebraic entropy of discrete subgroups of a given Lie group is unif…

Study computes Cheeger constants for specific submanifolds in asymptotically hyperbolic spaces.

The paper proves inequalities for Steklov eigenvalues on finite graphs.

In this paper, we establish Buser type inequalities, i.e., upper bounds for eigenvalues in terms of Cheeger constants. We prove the Buser's inequality for an infinite but locally finite connected graph with Ricci curvature lower bounds. Furthermore, we derive that the graph with positive curvature is finite, especially…

Study shows convergence rates for Cheeger cuts on data clouds.

Generalizes Cheeger inequality to Carnot-Carathéodory spaces.

In this paper we study a Riemanian metric on the tangent bundle $T(M)$ of a Riemannian manifold $M$ which generalizes the Cheeger Gromoll metric and a compatible almost complex structure which together with the metric confers to $T(M)$ a structure of locally conformal almost Kählerian manifold. We found conditions unde…

In [Cheeger-Tian 2005], Cheeger-Tian proved an $ε$-regularity theorem for $4$-dimensional Einstein manifolds without volume assumption. They conjectured that similar results should hold for critical metrics with constant scalar curvature, shrinking Ricci solitons, Ricci flows in $4$-dimensional manifolds and higher dim…

Solved Cheeger inequalities for simplicial complexes, combining topological and graph theoretic methods.

Study on spectral properties of Riemannian submersions with special fibers.

Let φ(G) be the minimum conductance of an undirected graph G, and let 0=λ_1 <= λ_2 <=... <= λ_n <= 2 be the eigenvalues of the normalized Laplacian matrix of G. We prove that for any graph G and any k >= 2, φ(G) = O(k) λ_2 / \sqrt{λ_k}, and this performance guarantee is achieved by the spectral partitioning algorithm. …

We show that the Cheeger constant of compact surfaces is bounded by a function of the area. We apply this to isoperimetric profiles of bounded genus non-compact surfaces, to show that if their isoperimetric profile grows faster than $\sqrt t$, then it grows at least as fast as a linear function. This generalizes a resu…

We investigate the properties of the Cheeger sets of rotationally invariant, bounded domains $Ω\subset \mathbb{R}^n$. For a rotationally invariant Cheeger set $C$, the free boundary $\partial C \cap Ω$ consists of pieces of Delaunay surfaces, which are rotationally invariant surfaces of constant mean curvature. We show…

Let (M, g) be an (n + 1)-dimensional asymptotically locally hyperbolic (ALH) manifold with a conformal compactification whose conformal infinity is ($\partial$M, [$γ$]). We will first observe that Ch(M, g) $\le$ n, where Ch(M, g) is the Cheeger constant of M. We then prove that, if the Ricci curvature of M is bounded f…

We prove Cheeger inequalities for p-Laplacians on finite and infinite weighted graphs. Unlike in previous works, we do not impose boundedness of the vertex degree, nor do we restrict ourselves to the normalized Laplacian and, more generally, we do not impose any boundedness assumption on the geometry. This is achieved …

We prove the existence of positive lower bounds on the Cheeger constants of manifolds of the form $X/Γ$ where $X$ is a contractible Riemannian manifold and $Γ<\Isom(X)$ is a discrete subgroup, typically with infinite co-volume. The existence depends on the $L^2$-Betti numbers of $Γ$, its subgroups and of a uniform latt…

The goal of the paper is to sharpen and generalise bounds involving the Cheeger's isoperimetric constant $h$ and the first eigenvalue $λ_{1}$ of the Laplacian. A celebrated lower bound of $λ_{1}$ in terms of $h$, $λ_{1}\geq h^{2}/4$, was proved by Cheeger in 1970 for smooth Riemannian manifolds. An upper bound on $λ_{1…

In this paper we study the relationship of hyperbolicity and (Cheeger) isoperimetric inequality in the context of Riemannian manifolds and graphs. We characterize the hyperbolic manifolds and graphs (with bounded local geometry) verifying this isoperimetric inequality, in terms of their Gromov boundary. Furthermore, we…

Compact gravity models yield tiny spin-two field masses.

Extends Lipschitz functions while preserving local constants.

Let $O$ be a closed $n$-dimensional arithmetic (real or complex) hyperbolic orbifold. We show that the diameter of $O$ is bounded above by $\frac{c_1\log vol(O) + c_2}{h(O)},$ where $h(O)$ is the Cheeger constant of $O$, $vol(O)$ is its volume, and constants $c_1$, $c_2$ depend only on $n$.

Boundary rigidity defined for hyperbolic spaces, tied to geometric properties.

There are many "minimax" complexity functions in mathematics: width of a tree or a link, Heegaard genus of a 3-manifold, the Cheeger constant of a Riemannian manifold. We define such a function w, "width", on countable (or finite) groups and show w(Z^k) = k-1.
