Spectral isolation of bi-invariant metrics on compact Lie groups

Carolyn S. Gordon, Dorothee Schueth, Craig J. Sutton (2010)

Annales de l’institut Fourier

We show that a bi-invariant metric on a compact connected Lie group G is spectrally isolated within the class of left-invariant metrics. In fact, we prove that given a bi-invariant metric g 0 on G there is a positive integer N such that, within a neighborhood of g 0 in the class of left-invariant metrics of at most the same volume, g 0 is uniquely determined by the first N distinct non-zero eigenvalues of its Laplacian (ignoring multiplicities). In the case where G is simple, N can be chosen to be two....

Spectre des laplaciens de Lichnerowicz sur les sphères et les projectifs réels.

Mohamed Boucetta (1999)

Publicacions Matemàtiques

In this paper, we compute the spectrum of the Lichnerowicz laplacian on the symmetric forms of degree 2 on the sphere Sn and the real projective space RPn. This is obtained by generalizing to forms the calculations of the spectrum of the laplacian on fonctions done via restriction of harmonic polynomials on euclidean space.

Spectrum of the Laplace operator and periodic geodesics: thirty years after

Yves Colin de Verdière (2007)

Annales de l’institut Fourier

What is called the “Semi-classical trace formula” is a formula expressing the smoothed density of states of the Laplace operator on a compact Riemannian manifold in terms of the periodic geodesics. Mathematical derivation of such formulas were provided in the seventies by several authors. The main goal of this paper is to state the formula and to give a self-contained proof independent of the difficult use of the global calculus of Fourier Integral Operators. This proof is close in the spirit of...

Spectrum of the laplacian in a narrow curved strip with combined Dirichlet and Neumann boundary conditions

David Krejčiřík (2009)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

We consider the laplacian in a domain squeezed between two parallel curves in the plane, subject to Dirichlet boundary conditions on one of the curves and Neumann boundary conditions on the other. We derive two-term asymptotics for eigenvalues in the limit when the distance between the curves tends to zero. The asymptotics are uniform and local in the sense that the coefficients depend only on the extremal points where the ratio of the curvature radii of the Neumann boundary to the Dirichlet one...

Spectrum of the Laplacian in narrow tubular neighbourhoods of hypersurfaces with combined Dirichlet and Neumann boundary conditions

David Krejčiřík (2014)

Mathematica Bohemica

We consider the Laplacian in a domain squeezed between two parallel hypersurfaces in Euclidean spaces of any dimension, subject to Dirichlet boundary conditions on one of the hypersurfaces and Neumann boundary conditions on the other. We derive two-term asymptotics for eigenvalues in the limit when the distance between the hypersurfaces tends to zero. The asymptotics are uniform and local in the sense that the coefficients depend only on the extremal points where the ratio of the area of the Neumann...

Sublinear eigenvalue problems on compact Riemannian manifolds with applications in Emden-Fowler equations

Alexandru Kristály, Vicenţiu Rădulescu (2009)

Studia Mathematica

Let (M,g) be a compact Riemannian manifold without boundary, with dim M ≥ 3, and f: ℝ → ℝ a continuous function which is sublinear at infinity. By various variational approaches, existence of multiple solutions of the eigenvalue problem - Δ g ω + α ( σ ) ω = K ̃ ( λ , σ ) f ( ω ) , σ ∈ M, ω ∈ H₁²(M), is established for certain eigenvalues λ > 0, depending on further properties of f and on explicit forms of the function K̃. Here, Δ g stands for the Laplace-Beltrami operator on (M,g), and α, K̃ are smooth positive functions. These multiplicity...
