Equivariant Steklov homogenisation and stability of spectral representations

Samuel Audet-Beaumont, Maxime Fortier Bourque, Alexandre Girouard

We prove that isolated spectral clusters preserve their finite-group representation under equivariant spectral convergence. In particular, an irreducible limiting eigenspace cannot…

An elementary counterexample to Escobar's Steklov conjecture on the three-ball

Alexandre Girouard, Thomas Hélière

We give an explicit polynomial deformation of the Euclidean metric on the unit three-ball which has positive Ricci curvature and strictly convex boundary but violates Escobar's con…

The exterior Steklov problem for Euclidean domains

Lukas Bundrock, Alexandre Girouard, Denis S. Grebenkov +2

We investigate the Steklov eigenvalue problem in an exterior Euclidean domain. First, we present several formulations of this problem and establish the equivalences between them. N…

Upper bounds for the second nonzero eigenvalue of the Laplacian via folding and conformal volume

Mehdi Eddaoudi, Alexandre Girouard

We prove an upper bound for the volume-normalized second nonzero eigenvalue of the Laplace operator on closed Riemannian manifold, in terms of the conformal volume. This bound prov…

Metric upper bounds for Steklov and Laplace eigenvalues

Bruno Colbois, Alexandre Girouard

We prove two upper bounds for the Steklov eigenvalues of a compact Riemannian manifold with boundary. The first involves the volume of the manifold and of its boundary, as well as…

The Dirichlet-to-Neumann map, the boundary Laplacian, and Hörmander's rediscovered manuscript

Alexandre Girouard, Mikhail Karpukhin, Michael Levitin +1

How close is the Dirichlet-to-Neumann (DtN) map to the square root of the corresponding boundary Laplacian? This question has been actively investigated in recent years. Somewhat s…

Continuity of eigenvalues and shape optimisation for Laplace and Steklov problems

Alexandre Girouard, Mikhail Karpukhin, Jean Lagacé

We associate a sequence of variational eigenvalues to any Radon measure on a compact Riemannian manifold. For particular choices of measures, we recover the Laplace, Steklov and ot…
