In this paper, we study the Gauss map of a free boundary minimal surface. The main theorem asserts that if components of the Gauss map are eigenfunctions of the Jacobi-Steklov operator, then the surface must be rotationally symmetric.
We define a new spectrum for compact length spaces and Riemannian manifolds called the "covering spectrum" which roughly measures the size of the one dimensional holes in the space. More specifically, the covering spectrum is a set of real numbers δ>0 which identify the distinct δ covers of the space. We investigat…
The subject of this paper is the relationship among the marked length spectrum, the length spectrum, the Laplace spectrum on functions, and the Laplace spectrum on forms on Riemannian nilmanifolds. In particular, we show that for a large class of three-step nilmanifolds, if a pair of nilmanifolds in this class has the …

We construct Riemannian manifolds with singular continuous spectrum embedded in the absolutely continuous spectrum of the Laplacian. Our manifolds are asymptotically hyperbolic with sharp curvature bounds.
In 2004, Sormani and Wei introduced the covering spectrum: a geometric invariant that isolates part of the length spectrum of a Riemannian manifold. In their paper they observed that certain Sunada isospectral manifolds share the same covering spectrum, thus raising the question of whether the covering spectrum is a sp…
The rigidity of marked length spectrum for closed hyperbolic surfaces due to Fricke-Klein [7] has been the motivation of many different rigidity results, specially for manifolds of negative curvature. From the works of Vigneras [18], Sunada [17] and many other authors this result is far from being true for the unmarked…
We study the Lp-spectrum of the Dirac operator on complete manifolds. One of the main questions in this context is whether this spectrum depends on p. As a first example where p-independence fails we compute explicitly the Lp-spectrum for the hyperbolic space and its product with compact spaces.
We prove a trace formula for three-dimensional spherically symmetric Riemannian manifolds with boundary which satisfy the Herglotz condition: The wave trace is singular precisely at the length spectrum of periodic broken rays. In particular, the Neumann spectrum of the Laplace--Beltrami operator uniquely determines the…
We prove that if a Riemannian covering preserves the bottom of the spectrum of a Schrödinger operator, which belongs to the discrete spectrum of the operator on the base manifold, then the covering is amenable.
In this article, we show that a Finsler--Laplacian introduced previously can detect changes in the Finsler metric that the marked length spectrum cannot. We also construct examples of non-reversible Finsler metrics in negative curvature such that 4λ1>h2, where λ1 is the bottom of the L2-spectrum and h the…
For a Riemannian covering p:M2→M1, we compare the spectrum of an essentially self-adjoint differential operator D1 on a bundle E1→M1 with the spectrum of its lift D2 on p∗E1→M2. We prove that if the covering is infinite sheeted and amenable, then the spectrum of $…
In all dimensions, we prove that the marked length spectrum of a Riemannian manifold (M,g) with Anosov geodesic flow and non-positive curvature locally determines the metric in the sense that two close enough metrics with the same marked length spectrum are isometric. In addition, we provide a completely new stabilit…
The Dirichlet Laplacian in curved tubes of arbitrary cross-section rotating with respect to the Tang frame along infinite curves in Euclidean spaces of arbitrary dimension is investigated. If the reference curve is not straight and its curvatures vanish at infinity, we prove that the essential spectrum as a set coincid…
Given a surface of infinite topological type, there are several Teichmüller spaces associated with it, depending on the basepoint and on the point of view that one uses to compare different complex structures. This paper is about the comparison between the quasiconformal Teichmüller space and the length-spectrum Teichm…
Consider a quantum particle trapped between a curved layer of constant width built over a complete, non-compact, C2 smooth surface embedded in R3. We assume that the surface is asymptotically flat in the sense that the second fundamental form vanishes at infinity, and that the surface is not tot…
