problem The fundamental gap in Bakry-Emery geometry.
method Recalled Bakry-Emery geometry and connected eigenvalues with boundary conditions. Showed a connection between fundamental gap and Bakry-Emery geometry.
result Presented key ideas in Andrews's and Clutterbuck's proof of the fundamental gap conjecture.
In their celebrated work, B. Andrews and J. Clutterbuck proved the fundamental gap (the difference between the first two eigenvalues) conjecture for convex domains in the Euclidean space and conjectured similar results holds for spaces with constant sectional curvature. We prove the conjecture for the sphere. Namely wh…
We prove the Fundamental Gap Conjecture, which states that the difference between the first two Dirichlet eigenvalues (the spectral gap) of a Schrödinger operator with convex potential and Dirichlet boundary data on a convex domain is bounded below by the spectral gap on an interval of the same diameter with zero poten…

Motivated by an example of Shih, we compute the fundamental gap of a family of convex domains in the hyperbolic plane H2, showing that for some of them λ2−λ1<D23π2, where D is the diameter of the domain and λ1, λ2 are the first and second Dirichlet eigenvalues of the Laplace operat…

For an immersed Lagrangian submanifold, let Aˇ be the Lagrangian trace-free second fundamental form. In this note we consider the equation ∇∗T=0 on Lagrangian surfaces immersed in C2, where T=−2∇∗(Aˇ┘ω), and we prove a gap theorem for the Whitney sphere as a solution …
We consider critical points of the functionals Π and Ψ defined as the global L2-norm of the second fundamental form and mean curvature vector of isometric immersions of compact Riemannian manifolds into a background Riemannian manifold, respectively, as functionals over the space of deformations of the immersion…
Crowdsourcing platforms provide marketplaces where task requesters can pay to get labels on their data. Such markets have emerged recently as popular venues for collecting annotations that are crucial in training machine learning models in various applications. However, as jobs are tedious and payments are low, errors …
In this note, we give a new and simple proof of a result in {\cite{DX1}} which states that any smooth complete self-shrinker in R3 with second fundamental form of constant length must be a generalized cylinder Sk×R2−k for some k≤2. Moreover, we prove a gap theorem for smo…
In [SWW], S. Seto, L. Wang and G. Wei proved that the gap between the first two Dirichlet eigenvalues of a convex domain in the unit sphere is at least as large as that for an associated operator on an interval with the same diameter, provided that the domain has the diameter at most π/2. In this paper, we extend Set…
In this paper we establish a gap phenomenon for immersed surfaces with arbitrary codimension, topology and boundaries that satisfy one of a family of systems of fourth-order anisotropic geometric partial differential equations. Examples include Willmore surfaces, stationary solitons for the surface diffusion flow, and …
We show that, among free boundary minimal surfaces in the unit ball in the three-dimensional Euclidean space, the flat equatorial disk and the critical catenoid are characterised by a pinching condition on the length of their second fundamental form.
Stable commutator length scl_G(g) of an element g in a group G is an invariant for group elements sensitive to the geometry and dynamics of G. For any group G acting on a tree, we prove a sharp bound scl_G(g)>=1/2 for any g acting without fixed points, provided that the stabilizer of each edge is relatively torsion-fre…
We extend to higher codimension earlier characterization of the equatorial disk and the critical catenoid by a pinching condition on the length of their second fundamental form among free boundary minimal surfaces in the three dimensional Euclidean ball due to L. Ambrozio and I. Nunes.

These are expanded notes of a course given in Grenoble in june 2004. After a brief description of the harmonic map proof of Margulis' superrigidity and arithmeticity theorems, it is shown how the method might generalize to fundamental groups of simplicial complexes whose links have large enough nonlinear spectral gaps,…
In part I it was shown that for each k>0 the generalized Sato-Levine invariant detects a gap between k-quasi-isotopy of link and peripheral structure preserving isomorphism of the finest quotient G_k of its fundamental group, `functorially' invariant under k-quasi-isotopy. Here we show that Cochran's derived invariant …
We study λ-hypersurfaces that are critical points of a Gaussian weighted area functional ∫Σe−4∣x∣2dA for compact variations that preserve weighted volume. First, we prove various gap and rigidity theorems for complete λ-hypersurfaces in terms of the norm of the second fundamental form ∣A∣. Sec…
In this paper, we prove that the mean curvature blows up at the same rate as the second fundamental form at the first singular time T of any compact, Type I mean curvature flow. For the mean curvature flow of surfaces, we obtain similar result provided that the Gaussian density is less than two. Our proofs are based …
