Morse index and bifurcation of p-geodesics on semi Riemannian manifolds

Monica Musso, Jacobo Pejsachowicz, Alessandro Portaluri (2007)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

Given a one-parameter family { g λ : λ [ a , b ] } of semi Riemannian metrics on an n-dimensional manifold M, a family of time-dependent potentials { V λ : λ [ a , b ] } and a family { σ λ : λ [ a , b ] } of trajectories connecting two points of the mechanical system defined by ( g λ , V λ ) , we show that there are trajectories bifurcating from the trivial branch σ λ if the generalized Morse indices μ ( σ a ) and μ ( σ b ) are different. If the data are analytic we obtain estimates for the number of bifurcation points on the branch and, in particular, for the number of strictly conjugate...

Multiplicity bounds for Steklov eigenvalues on Riemannian surfaces

Mikhail Karpukhin, Gerasim Kokarev, Iosif Polterovich (2014)

Annales de l’institut Fourier

We prove two explicit bounds for the multiplicities of Steklov eigenvalues σ k on compact surfaces with boundary. One of the bounds depends only on the genus of a surface and the index k of an eigenvalue, while the other depends as well on the number of boundary components. We also show that on any given Riemannian surface with smooth boundary the multiplicities of Steklov eigenvalues σ k are uniformly bounded in k .
