How to hear the corners of a drum

We announce a new result which shows that under either Dirichlet, Neumann, or Robin boundary conditions, the corners in a planar domain are a spectral invariant of the Laplacian. For the case of polygonal domains, we show how a locality principle, in the spirit of Kac's "principle of not feeling the boundary" can be used together with calculations of explicit model heat kernels to prove the result. In the process, we prove this locality principle for all three boundary conditions. Albeit previously known for Dirichlet boundary conditions, this appears to be new for Robin and Neumann boundary conditions, in the generality presented here. For the case of curvilinear polygons, we describe how the same arguments using the locality principle fail, but can nonetheless be replaced by powerful microlocal analysis methods.

Asymptotic expansion for the eigenvalues of a perturbed anharmonic oscillator

In this article, we study the spectral properties of the perturbation of the generalized anharmonic oscillator. We consider a piecewise Hölder continuous perturbation and investigate how the Hölder constant can affect the eigenvalues. More precisely, we derive several first terms in the asymptotic expansion for the eigenvalues.

Eigenvalue asymptotics for weighted Laplace equations on rough Riemannian manifolds with boundary

Our topological setting is a smooth compact manifold of dimension two or higher with smooth boundary. Although this underlying topological structure is smooth, the Riemannian metric tensor is only assumed to be bounded and measurable. This is known as a rough Riemannian manifold. For a large class of boundary conditions we demonstrate a Weyl law for the asymptotics of the eigenvalues of the Laplacian associated to a rough metric. Moreover, we obtain eigenvalue asymptotics for weighted Laplace equations associated to a rough metric. Of particular novelty is that the weight function is not assumed to be of fixed sign, and thus the eigenvalues may be both positive and negative. Key ingredients in the proofs were demonstrated by Birman and Solomjak nearly fifty years ago in their seminal work on eigenvalue asymptotics. In addition to determining the eigenvalue asymptotics in the rough Riemannian manifold setting for weighted Laplace equations, we also wish to promote their achievements which may have further applications to modern problems.

Evolution of time-harmonic electromagnetic and acoustic waves along waveguides

We study time-harmonic electromagnetic and acoustic waveguides, modeled by an infinite cylinder with a non-smooth cross section. We introduce an infinitesimal generator for the wave evolution along the cylinder, and prove estimates of the functional calculi of these first order non-self adjoint differential operators with non-smooth coefficients. Applying our new functional calculus, we obtain a one-to-one correspondence between polynomially bounded time-harmonic waves and functions in appropriate spectral subspaces.
