Abstract

We obtain sharp isoperimetric-type upper bounds for Steklov eigenvalues on warped products whose bases are compact Riemannian manifolds with boundary and whose fibres are closed Riemannian manifolds. These bounds involve the volume of the warped product and of its boundary, as well as the eigenvalues of the Laplace operator on the fibre and the Steklov eigenvalues of the base. After separation of variables, these bounds are obtained by comparison with auxiliary Helmholtz-Steklov problems on the base involving weighted Laplace operators naturally induced by the warping function. We also study the effect of various natural geometric constraints, such as the warping function being identically equal to one on the boundary. The proofs make use of various spectral approximation methods, including homogenisation on manifolds when the fibres are one-dimensional.

Quantitative spectral stability and sharp Fourier estimates for periodic CMV matrices with decaying perturbations

We study half-line CMV matrices whose Verblunsky coefficients are decaying perturbations of periodic sequences. We quantify the stability of fine properties of the absolutely continuous spectral measure under such perturbations. More precisely, we establish Hölder continuity of the perturbed spectral measure and derive sharp time-averaged Fourier estimates governing the associated quantum dynamics. These results remain valid up to the edges of the absolutely continuous spectrum. Since the spectral measure of a half-line CMV matrix is precisely the orthogonality measure for the corresponding orthogonal polynomials on the unit circle (OPUC), our results also yield new statements for OPUC whose Verblunsky coefficients are decaying perturbations of periodic sequences.

On the inequality $μ_3 < λ_1$ for the eigenvalues of the Laplace operator

In 1952, Pólya proved the inequality $μ_2 < λ_1$ for the eigenvalues of Dirichlet and Neumann problems in domain $Ω\subset \mathbb{R}^d$, $d \ge 2$. We show that $μ_3 < λ_1$ if $d\ge 3$. In the two-dimensional case, in 2025, Rohleder proved that $μ_3 < λ_1$ for simply connected domains. We prove that this inequality holds also true for double connected domains symmetric with respect to the origin.

Sums of Dirichlet eigenvalues in proximity of the disk and the ball

We derive second order perturbation expansions of volume-normalized sums of the first $n$ Dirichlet eigenvalues for near-circular and near-spherical domains. The disk (resp. ball) is only a critical shape when $n$ is the last index of an eigenvalue cluster, and in dimension two and three our expansions yield a finitely checkable criterion deciding whether the disk or ball is a weak local minimizer or a saddle point. In two dimensions, this allows us to show that there is an infinite number of cases in which the disk is a saddle point for finite eigenvalue sums.
