We use persistent homology along with the eigenfunctions of the Laplacian to study similarity amongst triangulated 2-manifolds. Our method relies on studying the lower-star filtration induced by the eigenfunctions of the Laplacian. This gives us a shape descriptor that inherits the rich information encoded in the eigen…
We present Spectral Inference Networks, a framework for learning eigenfunctions of linear operators by stochastic optimization. Spectral Inference Networks generalize Slow Feature Analysis to generic symmetric operators, and are closely related to Variational Monte Carlo methods from computational physics. As such, the…
We study concentration phenomena of eigenfunctions of the Laplacian on closed Riemannian manifolds. We prove that the volume measure of a closed manifold concentrates around nodal sets of eigenfunctions exponentially. Applying the method of Colding and Minicozzi we also prove restricted exponential concentration inequa…
We show that the monodromy of a spherical conical metric is reducible if and only if it has a real-valued eigenfunction with eigenvalue 2 in the holomorphic extension of the associated Laplace--Beltrami operator. Such an eigenfunction produces a meromorphic vector field, which is then related to the developing maps of …
Let us fix two different radial eigenfunctions of a hyperbolic Laplacian and assume that both of them have the same value at the origin. Both eigenvalues can be complex numbers. The main goal of this paper is to estimate the lower bound for the interval (0,T], where these two eigenfunctions must assume different values…
Gaussian processes (GPs) provide a nonparametric representation of functions. However, classical GP inference suffers from high computational cost and it is difficult to design nonstationary GP priors in practice. In this paper, we propose a sparse Gaussian process model, EigenGP, based on the Karhunen-Loeve (KL) expan…
We give an upper bound for the (n−1)-dimensional Hausdorff measure of the critical set of eigenfunctions of the Laplacian on compact analytic Riemannian manifolds. This is the analog of H. Donnely and C. Fefferman result on nodal set of eigenfunctions.
In this article we examine the concentration and oscillation effects developed by high-frequency eigenfunctions of the Laplace operator in a compact Riemannian manifold. More precisely, we are interested in the structure of the possible invariant semiclassical measures obtained as limits of Wigner measures correspondin…
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→1, we ident…
We survey recent results related to the concentration of eigenfunctions. We also prove some new results concerning ball-concentration, as well as showing that eigenfunctions saturating lower bounds for L1-norms must also, in a measure theoretical sense, have extreme concentration near a geodesic.
In this short note we show that the lower bounds of Mangoubi on the inner radius of nodal domains can be improved for quantum ergodic sequences of eigenfunctions, according to a certain power of the radius of shrinking balls on which the eigenfunctions equidistribute. We prove such improvements using a quick applicatio…

problem Characterizing compact manifolds with (λ,λ)-eigenfunctions and understanding their eigenfamilies.
method Analyzing (λ,λ)-eigenfamilies on compact Riemannian manifolds, showing that any such manifold is a mapping torus and any (λ,λ)-eigenfamily is one-dimensional.
result Any compact manifold admitting a (λ,λ)-eigenfunction is a mapping torus and any (λ,λ)-eigenfamily is one-dimensional.
In this paper we consider the problem of prescribing the nodal set of low-energy eigenfunctions of the Laplacian. Our main result is that, given any separating closed hypersurface Σin a compact n-manifold M, there is a Riemannian metric on M such that the nodal set of its first nontrivial eigenfunction is Σ. We present…
