Flat tori found non-isometric pairs with identical Laplace eigenvalues.

Paper proves inequality for hyperbolic space domains.

We address the question of determining the eigenvalues $λ\_n$ (listed in nondecreasing order, with multiplicities) for which Courant's nodal domain theorem is sharp i.e., for which there exists an associated eigenfunction with $n$ nodal domains (Courant-sharp eigenvalues). Following ideas going back to Pleijel (1956), …

The paper calculates critical configurations and Morse indices for polygons on circles or ellipses.

In this paper, we prove some analogues of Payne-Polya-Weinberger, Hile-Protter and Yang's inequalities for Dirichlet (discrete) Laplace eigenvalues on any subset in the integer lattice $\Z^n.$ This partially answers a question posed by Chung and Oden.

Optimizes eigenvalues on surfaces with symmetries.

Using expander graphs, we construct a sequence of smooth compact surfaces with boundary of perimeter N, and with the first non-zero Steklov eigenvalue uniformly bounded away from zero. This answers a question which was raised in [9]. The genus grows linearly with N, this is the optimal growth rate.

Researchers found the first and second eigenvalues are Courant-sharp on a Möbius strip.

Mathematicians decode geometric properties from eigenvalues over 112 years.

Kernel methods are successful approaches for different machine learning problems. This success is mainly rooted in using feature maps and kernel matrices. Some methods rely on the eigenvalues/eigenvectors of the kernel matrix, while for other methods the spectral information can be used to estimate the excess risk. An …

Study finds only first and second eigenvalues are Courant-sharp for flat Klein bottle and cylinders.

On a closed weighted Riemannian manifold with nonnegative Bakry-Émery Ricci curvature, it is shown that the ratio of the $k$-th to first eigenvalues of the weighted Laplacian is dominated by $641k^2$, using an argument via the Cheeger constant. While improving the previous exponential upper bound, the order of $k$ here…

Sharp upper bounds found for Steklov eigenvalues of a specific hypersurface.

In this paper, we establish a kind of splitting theorem for the eigenvalues of a specific family of operators on the base of a warped product. As a consequence, we prove a density theorem for a set of warping functions that makes the spectrum of the Laplacian a warped-simple spectrum. This is then used to study the gen…

The Steklov problem is an eigenvalue problem with the spectral parameter in the boundary conditions, which has various applications. Its spectrum coincides with that of the Dirichlet-to-Neumann operator. Over the past years, there has been a growing interest in the Steklov problem from the viewpoint of spectral geometr…

Higher surgeries preserve Steklov spectra in 3D and above.

We study when the Jacobi operator associated to the Weyl conformal curvature tensor has constant eigenvalues on the bundle of unit spacelike or timelike tangent vectors. This leads to questions in the conformal geometry of pseudo-Riemannian manifolds which generalize the Osserman conjecture to this setting. We also stu…

Study the long-time behavior of Hermitian-Yang-Mills flow on non-Kähler manifolds.

In this survey, we discuss some recent results on free boundary minimal surfaces in the Euclidean unit-ball. The subject has been a very active field of research in the past few years due to the seminal work of Fraser and Schoen on the extremal Steklov eigenvalue problem. We review several different techniques of const…

The study proves optimal spectral gaps for hyperbolic surfaces.

Power-law spectrum of random feature model is preserved in neural networks.

In this paper, we have proposed a brain signal classification method, which uses eigenvalues of the covariance matrix as features to classify images (topomaps) created from the brain signals. The signals are recorded during the answering of 2D and 3D questions. The system is used to classify the correct and incorrect a…

Let $(M,g,σ)$ be a compact Riemmannian surface equipped with a spin structure $σ$. For any metric $\tilde{g}$ on $M$, we denote by $μ\_1(\tilde{g})$ (resp. $λ\_1(\tilde{g})$) the first positive eigenvalue of the Laplacian (resp. the Dirac operator) with respect to the metric $\tilde{g}$. In this paper, we show that $$\…

In this paper we deal with the classical question of existence of polynomial in momenta integrals for geodesic flows on the 2-torus. For the quasi-linear system on coefficients of the polynomial integral we consider the region (so called elliptic regions) where there are complex-conjugate eigenvalues. We show that for …

The concern of this paper is to clarify a relationship between the curvatures at infinity and the spectral structure of the Laplacian. In particular, this paper discusses the question of whether there is an eigenvalue of the Laplacian embedded in the essential spectrum or not. The borderline-behavior of the radial curv…

Prove that collapsing CSC metrics can be perturbed to invariant collapsing CSC metrics.

Antonio Ros gave a lower bound for the first eigenvalue $λ_1$ of $Δ$ of a $P$-manifold $(M, g)$ in terms of the lower bound on the Ricci curvature $Ric_M$ and asked what happened when this lower bound was achieved. In this paper we look in to this question and show that there are strong implications on the geometry and…

New formulation tackles arbitrage in volatile markets using eigenvalue bounds.

Jakobson and Nadirashvili \cite{JN} constructed a sequence of eigenfunctions on $T^2$ with a bounded number of critical points, answering in the negative the question raised by Yau \cite{Yau1} which asks that whether the number of the critical points of eigenfunctions for the Laplacian increases with the corresponding …

Theoretical framework explains why few epochs are enough for LLM fine-tuning.

In this note we partially answer a question posed by Colbois, Dryden, and El Soufi. Consider the space of constant-volume Riemannian metrics on a connected manifold M which are invariant under the action of a discrete Lie group G. We show that the first eigenvalue of the Laplacian is not bounded above on this space, pr…

We are concerned in this article with a classical question in spectral geometry dating back to McKean-Singer, Patodi and Tanno: whether or not the constancy of holomorphic sectional curvature of a complex $n$-dimensional compact Kähler manifold can be completely determined by the eigenvalues of its $p$-Laplacian for a …

For a closed Riemannian orbifold $O$, we compare the spectra of the Laplacian, acting on functions or differential forms, to the Neumann spectra of the orbifold with boundary given by a domain $U$ in $O$ whose boundary is a smooth manifold. Generalizing results of several authors, we prove that the metric of $O$ can be…

We consider the problem of approximating the set of eigenvalues of the covariance matrix of a multivariate distribution (equivalently, the problem of approximating the "population spectrum"), given access to samples drawn from the distribution. The eigenvalues of the covariance of a distribution contain basic informati…

Study improves regularity estimates for harmonic maps into ellipsoids.

The paper finds rotationally symmetric critical metrics for Laplace eigenvalues on tori.

A classical question in spectral geometry is, for each pair of nonnegative integers $(p,n)$ such that $p\leq 2n$, if the eigenvalues of Laplacian on $p$-forms of a compact Kähler manifold are the same as those of $\mathbb{C}P^n$ equipped with the Fubini-Study metric, then whether or not this Kähler manifold is holomorp…

Let M be a closed spin manifold of dimension at least three with a fixed topological spin structure. For any Riemannian metric, we can construct the associated Dirac operator. The spectrum of this Dirac operator depends on the metric of course. In 2005, Dahl conjectured that M can be given a metric, for which a finite …

The classical inverse problem of recovering a simply connected smooth planar domain from the Steklov spectrum \cite{E} is equivalent to the problem of recovering, up to a conformal equivalence, a positive function $a\in C^\infty({\mathbb S})$ on the unit circle ${\mathbb S}=\{e^{iθ}\}$ from the eigenvalue spectrum of t…

Study on Hitchin index for cohomogeneity one nearly Kähler structures.

Many important problems are characterized by the eigenvalues of a large matrix. For example, the difficulty of many optimization problems, such as those arising from the fitting of large models in statistics and machine learning, can be investigated via the spectrum of the Hessian of the empirical loss function.
