Is the principal eigenvalue of the clamped plate minimized by the equilateral triangle among all triangles of a given area?

Let $\Omega$ be a ``nice'' domain in $\mathbb{R}^2$ (bounded and with piecewise smooth boundary). Consider the clamped plate eigenvalue problem, given by $$\Delta^2 u = \lambda u $$ $$ u|_{\partial \...

Examples of elementary group of isometries of the ideal boundary of hyperbolic plane

A Riemannian manifold $(X,g)$ is called Hadamard manifold if it is complete and simply connected and has everywhere non-positive sectional curvature. An example of such a manifold would be the ...

A better version of Weyl's Law or uniform estimates of Laplacian higher eigenvalues

Let $(M^n,g)$ be a closed $n$ dimensional Riemannian manifold with $\mathrm{Ric}_g\ge -K$, $(K\ge 0)$. Weyl's law(along with Karamata Tauberian Theorem) asserts that the eigenvalue $\lambda_i$ of $-\...

Stable region of minimal hypersurfaces with finite Morse index

In this Inventiones Mathematicae paper, Fischer-Colbrie proved the following result (Proposition 1): Proposition: Let $ M$ be a complete two-sided minimal surface in a three manifold $N$. Then if $M$...

If the first Dirichlet eigenfunction on a set $D$ is regular up to the boundary, is $D$ regular?

Given any open set $D$ in $\mathbb R^n$, we can define the first Dirichlet eigenfunction $u$ of $-\Delta$ on $D$ as the minimizer of the Rayleigh quotient over $H_0^1(D)$. Interior regularity of $u$ ...

literature/reference request for estimates of first eigenvalue of certain Schrodinger operator on compact surfaces

On compact Riemannian surfaces (say without boundary), the Schrodinger operator I am interested in is of the form $-\Delta+2\kappa$, where $\kappa$ is the Gauss curvature. For minimal surfaces in $\...
