Greatest least eigenvalue of the Laplacian on the Klein bottle
Ahmad El Soufi, Hector Giacomini, Mustapha Jazar
We prove the following conjecture recently formulated by Jakobson, Nadirashvili and Polterovich \cite{JNP}: For any Riemannian metric on the Klein bottle one has $…
Blow-up results for some second order hyperbolic inequalities with a nonlinear term with respect to the velocity
M. Jazar, R. Kiwan
We give sufficient conditions on the initial data so that a semilinear wave inequality blows-up in finite time. Our method is based on the study of an associated second order diffe…
Sets of k-recurrence but not (k+1)-recurrence
N. Frantzikinakis, E. Lesigne, M. Wierdl
For every , we produce a set of integers which is -recurrent but not -recurrent. This extends a result of Furstenberg who produced a 1-recurrent set whic…
An optimal systolic inequality for CAT(0) metrics in genus two
Mikhail G. Katz, Stephane Sabourau
We prove an optimal systolic inequality for CAT(0) metrics on a genus~2 surface. We use a Voronoi cell technique, introduced by C.~Bavard in the hyperbolic context. The equality is…
Extremal eigenvalues of the Laplacian in a conformal class of metrics : the "conformal spectrum"
Bruno Colbois, Ahmad El Soufi
Let be a compact connected manifold of dimension endowed with a conformal class of Riemannian metrics of volume one. For any integer , we consider the conformal…
Eigenvalues of the Laplacian acting on -forms and metric conformal deformations
Bruno Colbois, Ahmad El Soufi
Let be a compact connected orientable Riemannian manifold of dimension and let be the -th positive eigenvalue of the Laplacian …
