In this paper we prove L∞ type gap theorems in Yang-Mills theory for complete four-dimensional manifolds with a weighted Poincaré inequality. We apply the theorems to a broad class of complete manifolds satisfying weighted Poincaré inequalities. In particular, we obtain a gap theorem on the Euclidean space wi…
We describe two-dimensional potential Schrodinger and Dirac operators which are finite-gap at one energy level and have singular spectral curves. It appears that the singularities can be rather complicated. Such Dirac operators appear as the spectral curves of tori immersed into the three-space.
We consider a rigidity problem for the spectral gap of the Laplacian on an RCD(K,∞)-space (a metric measure space satisfying the Riemannian curvature-dimension condition) for positive K. For a weighted Riemannian manifold, Cheng--Zhou showed that the sharp spectral gap is achieved only when a 1-dimensional G…
We prove that the set of closed finite gap curves in hyperbolic 3-space H3 is W2,2-dense in the Sobolev space of all closed W2,2-curves in H3. We also show that the set of closed finite gap curves in any 2-dimensional space form E2 is W2,2-dense in the Sobolev space of…
We survey the use of dynamics of SL(2,R)-actions to understand gap distributions for various sequences of subsets of [0,1), particularly those arising from special trajectories of various two-dimensional dynamical systems. We state and prove an abstract theorem that gives a unified explanation for some of the ex…
In this paper, we will prove a gap theorem for four-dimensional gradient shrinking soliton. More precisely, we will show that any complete four-dimensional gradient shrinking soliton with nonnegative and bounded Ricci curvature, satisfying a pinched Weyl curvature, either is flat, or λ1+λ2≥c0R>0 everywhere f…
We extend an L2 energy gap result due independently to Min-Oo and Parker (1982) for Yang-Mills connections on principal G-bundles, P, over closed, connected, four-dimensional, oriented, smooth manifolds, X, from the case of positive Riemannian metrics to the more general case of good Riemannian metrics, includ…
A modern aircraft may require on the order of thousands of custom shims to fill gaps between structural components in the airframe that arise due to manufacturing tolerances adding up across large structures. These shims are necessary to eliminate gaps, maintain structural performance, and minimize pull-down forces req…
We study the spectrum of the Finsler--Laplace operator for regular Hilbert geometries, defined by convex sets with C2 boundaries. We show that for an n-dimensional geometry, the spectral gap is bounded above by (n−1)2/4, which we prove to be the infimum of the essential spectrum. We also construct examples of c…
We show that the set of k-dimensional isoperimetric exponents of finitely presented groups is dense in the interval [1, \infty) for k > 1. Hence there is no higher-dimensional analogue of Gromov's gap (1,2) in the isoperimetric spectrum.
As indicated by the third author in [19], there is a gap in the previous version of this paper by the first two authors [5]. We provide in this version an argument to fix the aforementioned gap. The main proposition, whose proof uses Perelman's techniques, is implied by Ding [9] and is covered by [19]. Our approach, ho…
This paper studies eigenvalues of the clamped plate problem on a bounded domain in an n-dimensional Euclidean space. We give an estimate for the gap between Γk+1−Γ1 and Γk−Γ1, for any positive integer k. According to the asymptotic formula of Agmon and Pleijel, we know, the gap betwe…
In 2016, the majority of full-time employed women in the U.S. earned significantly less than comparable men. The extent to which women were affected by gender inequality in earnings, however, depended greatly on socio-economic characteristics, such as marital status or educational attainment. In this paper, we analyzed…
Special class of surfaces in five-dimensional sphere in C3 is considered. Immersion equations for minimal tori of that class are shown to be reducible to the equation uzzˉ=eu−e−2u which is integrable by means of inverse scattering method. Finite-gap minimal tori are constructed.
We study the spectral gap of the Erdős--Rényi random graph through the connectivity threshold. In particular, we show that for any fixed δ>0 if p≥n(1/2+δ)logn, then the normalized graph Laplacian of an Erdős--Rényi graph has all of its nonzero eigenvalues tightly concentrated around 1. We est…
This paper develops several average-case reduction techniques to show new hardness results for three central high-dimensional statistics problems, implying a statistical-computational gap induced by robustness, a detection-recovery gap and a universality principle for these gaps. A main feature of our approach is to ma…
Our main result is that if a generic convex domain in Rn collapses to a domain in Rn−1, then the difference between the first two Dirichlet eigenvalues of the Euclidean Laplacian, known as the fundamental gap, diverges. The boundary of the domain need not be smooth, merely Lipschitz continuous. To motivate th…
