Ground state energy of the magnetic Laplacian on corner domains

Abstract

The asymptotic behavior of the first eigenvalues of magnetic Laplacian operators with large magnetic fields and Neumann realization in smooth three-dimensional domains is characterized by model problems inside the domain or on its boundary. In two-dimensional polygonal domains, a new set of model problems on sectors has to be taken into account. In this paper, we consider the class of general corner domains. In dimension 3, they include as particular cases polyhedra and axisymmetric cones. We attach model problems not only to each point of the closure of the domain, but also to a hierarchy of "tangent substructures" associated with singular chains. We investigate properties of these model problems, namely continuity, semi-continuity, existence of generalized eigenfunctions satisfying exponential decay. We prove estimates for the remainders of our asymptotic formula. Lower bounds are obtained with the help of an IMS partition based on adequate two-scale coverings of the corner domain, whereas upper bounds are established by a novel construction of quasimodes, qualified as sitting or sliding according to spectral properties of local model problems. A part of our analysis extends to any dimension.

Regular hyperbolic tilings have no $\ell^2$ eigenfunctions

We show that the adjacency operator of the $1$-skeleton of any regular tiling of the hyperbolic plane has no nonzero square-integrable eigenfunctions. As a consequence, the same holds for every infinite connected regular graph admitting a proper planar embedding with regular dual.

Inverse Heat Source Problems from Boundary Flux and Interior Observations on Sets of Low Hausdorff Dimension

This paper investigates conditional stability for inverse source problems for the heat equation with a known temporal factor and an unknown spatial component in a bounded $C^{1,1}$ domain. We focus on observations supported on sets of low Hausdorff dimension and establish conditional stability in this setting. For boundary observations on compact sets of positive $q$-dimensional Hausdorff content, we establish logarithmic stability from full-time boundary flux observations and double-logarithmic stability from delayed-time boundary flux observations. The admissible dimensional ranges are $q>d-2$ when the observation set is contained in a flat boundary patch and $q>d-1-c_{d+1}$ on a general $C^{1,1}$ boundary, where $c_{d+1}>0$ depends only on the dimension. A key ingredient in deriving these results is a new boundary spectral inequality for the Dirichlet Laplacian, which controls a finite Dirichlet spectral sum through observations of the normal derivative of its elliptic extension on such a boundary set. Our results also cover inverse heat source problems with interior observations on sets of positive $q$-dimensional Hausdorff content for some $q>d-1$, yielding logarithmic stability from full-time observations for general sources in $H_0^1(\Omega)$ and H\"older stability from terminal-time observations for sources in a suitable spectral Gevrey class.

Resolvent bounds and eigenvalue estimates of generalized Schr\"odinger operators with complex potentials on compact manifolds

We extend Cuenin's compact-manifold spectral bounds for Schr\"odinger operators with complex potentials to a general pseudodifferential setting. More precisely, we study operators \(P+V\), where \(P\) is a positive self-adjoint elliptic classical pseudodifferential operator of positive order and \(V\) is complex-valued. The main analytic input is a resolvent principle showing that spectral cluster estimates for \(P\) imply \(L^p\)-\(L^{p'}\) resolvent estimates along suitable complex curves. Combined with Sogge's spectral cluster bounds, this yields exterior-region resolvent estimates extending those of Krupchyk and Uhlmann; we also prove direct resolvent bounds in the interior region. On Zoll manifolds, we discuss the sharpness of the resulting spectral bounds.
