We present new methods to construct a Ruelle-Pollicott spectrum for the geodesic flow on manifolds with strictly negative curvature and a finite number of hyperbolic cusps.

We investigate spectral features of the Dirac operator with infinite mass boundary conditions in a smooth bounded domain of $\mathbb{R}^2$. Motivated by spectral geometric inequalities, we prove a non-linear variational formulation to characterize its principal eigenvalue. This characterization turns out to be very robust and allows for a simple proof of a Szeg\"o type inequality as well as a new reformulation of a Faber-Krahn type inequality for this operator. The paper is complemented with strong numerical evidences supporting the existence of a Faber-Krahn type inequality., Comment: 34 pages, 4 figures

The question of determining for which eigenvalues there exists an eigenfunction which has the same number of nodal domains as the label of the associated eigenvalue (Courant-sharp property) was motivated by the analysis of minimal spectral partitions. In previous works, many examples have been analyzed corresponding to squares, rectangles, disks, triangles, tori, \ldots . A natural toy model for further investigations is the M\"obius strip, a non-orientable surface with Euler characteristic $0$, and particularly the "square" M\"obius strip whose eigenvalues have higher multiplicities. In this case, we prove that the only Courant-sharp Dirichlet eigenvalues are the first and the second, and we exhibit peculiar nodal patterns., Comment: Revised version prior to publication.

This paper is devoted to a general min-max characterization of the eigenvalues in a gap of the essential spectrum of a self-adjoint unbounded operator. We prove an abstract theorem, then we apply it to the case of Dirac operators with a Coulomb-like potential. The result is optimal for the Coulomb potential. An erratum is appended at the end of the tex., The main goal of this submission is to add an erratum to the old paper published in 2000

International audience; We consider discrete Schrödinger operators on ${\mathbb{Z}}^d$ for which the perturbation consists of the sum of a long-range type potential and a Wigner-von Neumann type potential. Still working in a framework of weighted Mourre theory, we improve the limiting absorption principle (LAP) that was obtained in [Ma1]. To our knowledge, this is a new result even in the one-dimensional case. The improvement consists in a weakening of the assumptions on the long-range potential and better LAP weights. The improvement relies only on the fact that the generator of dilations (which serves as conjugate operator) is bounded from above by the position operator. To exploit this, Loewner's theorem on operator monotone functions is invoked.

International audience; In this work we study the number of small eigenvalues and the convergence to the equilibrium of the Bouncy Particle Sampler process and the Zig-Zag process generators in the small temperature regime. Such processes, which fall in the class of Piecewise Deterministic Markov Processes, are non diffusive and non reversible.

We study the concentration properties of low-energy states for quantum systems in the semiclassical limit, in the setting of Toeplitz operators, which include quantum spin systems as a large class of examples. We establish tools proper to Toeplitz quantization to give a general subprincipal criterion for localisation. In addition, we build up symplectic normal forms in two particular settings, including a generalisation of Helffer–Sjostrand miniwells, in order to prove asymptotics for the ground state and estimates on the number of low-lying eigenvalues.

Consider the Langevin process, described by a vector (position,momentum) in $\mathbb{R}^{d}\times\mathbb{R}^d$. Let $\mathcal O$ be a $\mathcal{C}^2$ open bounded and connected set of $\mathbb{R}^d$. We prove the compactness of the semigroup of the Langevin process absorbed at the boundary of the domain $D:=\mathcal{O}\times\mathbb{R}^d$. We then obtain the existence of a unique quasi-stationary distribution (QSD) for the Langevin process on $D$. We also provide a spectral interpretation of this QSD and obtain an exponential convergence of the Langevin process conditioned on non-absorption towards the QSD.

International audience; In the present paper, we study spectral properties of Toeplitz operators with (quasi-) radial symbols on Bergman space. More precisely, the problem we are interested in is to understand when a given Toeplitz operator belongs to a Schatten-von Neumann class. The methods of the approximation theory (i.e., Legendre polynomials) are used to advance in this direction.

In this paper we consider a Stokes system with Navier-slip boundary conditions. The main results concern the behaviour of the cost of null controllability with respect to the diffusion coefficient when the control acts in the interior. In particular, we prove in the square that for a sufficiently large time the cost decays exponentially as the diffusion coefficient vanishes, whereas in the cube we prove that for most of the control domains and for any time T > 0 the cost explodes exponentially as the diffusion coefficient vanishes.

We give an explicit description of all minimal self-adjoint extensions of a densely defined, closed symmetric operator in a Hilbert space with deficiency indices $(1, 1)$., Comment: 4 pages, no figures, submitted

International audience; We study a parabolic Lotka-Volterra equation, with an integral term representing competition, and time periodic growth rate. This model represents a trait structured population in a time periodic environment. After showing the convergence of the solution to the periodic periodic solution of the problem, we study the influence of different factors on the mean limit population. As this quantity is the opposite of a certain eigenvalue, we are able to investigate the influence of the diffusion rate, the period length and the time variance of the environment fluctuations. We also give biological interpretation of the results in the framework of cancer, if the model represents a cancerous cells population under the influence of a periodic treatment. In this framework, we show that the population might benefit from a intermediate rate of mutation.

In this paper, we study the amount of information contained in the Steklov spectrum of some compact manifolds with connected boundary equipped with a warped product metric. Examples of such manifolds can be thought of as deformed balls in $${\mathbb {R}}^d$$ . We first prove that the Steklov spectrum determines uniquely the warping function of the metric. We show in fact that the approximate knowledge (in a given precise sense) of the Steklov spectrum is enough to determine uniquely the warping function in a neighbourhood of the boundary. Second, we provide stability estimates of log-type on the warping function from the Steklov spectrum. The key element of these stability results relies on a formula that, roughly speaking, connects the inverse data (the Steklov spectrum) to the Laplace transform of the difference of the two warping factors.

International audience; Giving process information through spectral considerations has been tackled for decades. We propose in this work a new way of dealing with such an objective by giving hidden information topology of the spectral measure of non-stationary and periodically correlated processes. We used first the Kolmogorov decomposition which is a natural extension of the Naimark operator theory to obtain a sequence of rotation matrices called the dilation matrices. These matrices carry all the spectral information of the process and belong to SO(n) or SU(n) with respect to respectively the real or complex nature of the periodically correlated processes studied. In order to give a topological interpretation of the positioning of these matrices on the space of rotation matrices, we have applied a persistent homology technique and next exposed fundamental attributes. We showed that different types of periodically correlated processes are endowed with a point cloud structure that can be easily discriminated by topological and information features.

International audience; This article is the continuation of our first work on the determination of the cases where there is equality in Courant's Nodal Domain theorem in the case of a Robin boundary condition (with Robin parameter h). For the square, our first paper focused on the case where h is large and extended results that were obtained by Pleijel, Bérard-Helffer, for the problem with a Dirichlet boundary condition. There, we also obtained some general results about the behaviour of the nodal structure (for planar domains) under a small deformation of h, where h is positive and not close to 0. In this second paper, we extend results that were obtained by Helffer-Persson-Sundqvist for the Neumann problem to the case where h > 0 is small. MSC classification (2010): 35P99, 58J50, 58J37.

This paper establishes an aspect of Bohr's correspondence principle, i.e. that quantum mechanics converges in the high frequency limit to classical mechanics, for commuting semiclassical unitary operators. We prove, under minimal assumptions, that the semiclassical limit of the convex hulls of the quantum spectrum of a collection of commuting semiclassical unitary operators converges to the convex hull of the classical spectrum of the principal symbols of the operators., Comment: 32 pages. Presentation substantially revised and reorganized for clarity. Main Theorem is now in in the introduction, and non central materialshave been moved to appendix 1 and appendix 2. Small mistake in the application of Cayley transform has been fixed

We obtain a trace Hardy inequality for the Euclidean space with a bounded cut Σ ⊂ R d , d ≥ 2 . In this novel geometric setting, the Hardy-type inequality non-typically holds also for d = 2 . The respective Hardy weight is given in terms of the geodesic distance to the boundary of Σ. We provide its applications to the heat equation on R d with an insulating cut at Σ and to the Schrodinger operator with a δ ′ -interaction supported on Σ. We also obtain generalizations of this trace Hardy inequality for a class of unbounded cuts.

International audience; The Diffusion Poisson Coupled Model describes the evolution of a dense oxide layer appearing at the surface of carbon steel canisters in contact with a claystone formation. This model is a one dimensional free boundary problem involving drift-diffusion equations on the density of species (electrons, ferric cations and oxygen vacancies), coupled with a Poisson equation on the electrostatic potential and with moving boundary equations, which describe the evolution of the position of each unknown interfaces of the spatial domain. Numerical simulations suggest the existence of traveling wave solutions for this model. These solutions are defined by stationary profiles on a fixed size domain with interfaces moving both at the same velocity. In this paper, we present and apply a computer-assisted method in order to prove the existence of these traveling wave solutions. We also establish a precise and certified description of the solutions.

The present paper is devoted to clustering geometric graphs. While the standard spectral clustering is often not effective for geometric graphs, we present an effective generalization, which we call higher-order spectral clustering. It resembles in concept the classical spectral clustering method but uses for partitioning the eigenvector associated with a higher-order eigenvalue. We establish the weak consistency of this algorithm for a wide class of geometric graphs which we call Soft Geometric Block Model. A small adjustment of the algorithm provides strong consistency. We also show that our method is effective in numerical experiments even for graphs of modest size., Comment: 23 pages, 6 figures

We consider a sequence of finite quantum graphs with few loops, so that they converge, in the sense of Benjamini-Schramm, to a random infinite quantum tree. We assume these quantum trees are spectrally delocalized in some interval $I$, in the sense that their spectrum in $I$ is purely absolutely continuous and their Green's functions are well controlled near the real axis. We furthermore suppose that the underlying sequence of discrete graphs is expanding. We deduce a quantum ergodicity result, showing that the eigenfunctions with eigenvalues lying in $I$ are spatially delocalized., 64 pages

International audience; We define the random magnetic Laplacien with spatial white noise as magnetic field on the two-dimensional torus using paracontrolled calculus. It yields a random self-adjoint operator with pure point spectrum and domain a random subspace of nonsmooth functions in L 2. We give sharp bounds on the eigenvalues which imply an almost sure Weyl-type law.

Given a compact Riemannian manifold (M n , g) with boundary $\partial$M , we give an estimate for the quotient $\partial$M f d$\mu$ g M f d$\mu$ g , where f is a smooth positive function defined on M that satisfies some inequality involving the scalar Laplacian. By the mean value lemma established in [37], we provide a differential inequality for f which, under some curvature assumptions, can be interpreted in terms of Bessel functions. As an application of our main result, a direct proof is given of the Faber-Krahn inequalities for Dirichlet and Robin Laplacian. Also, a new estimate is established for the eigenvalues of the Dirac operator that involves a positive root of Bessel function besides the scalar curvature. Independently, we extend the Robin Laplacian on functions to differential forms. We prove that this natural extension defines a self-adjoint and elliptic operator whose spectrum is discrete and consists of positive real eigenvalues. In particular, we characterize its first eigenvalue and provide a lower bound of it in terms of Bessel functions.

We consider semiclassical self-adjoint operators whose symbol, defined on a two-dimensional symplectic manifold, reaches a non-degenerate minimum b 0 on a closed curve. We derive a classical and quantum normal form which gives uniform eigenvalue asymptotics in a window ( − ∞ , b 0 + ϵ ) for ϵ > 0 independent on the semiclassical parameter. These asymptotics are obtained in two complementary settings: either an approximate invariance of the system under translation along the curve, which produces oscillating eigenvalues, or a Morse hypothesis reminiscent of Helffer–Sjostrand’s “miniwell” situation.

Kernel matrices are of central importance to many applied fields. In this manuscript, we focus on spectral properties of kernel matrices in the so-called "flat limit", which occurs when points are close together relative to the scale of the kernel. We establish asymptotic expressions for the determinants of the kernel matrices, which we then leverage to obtain asymptotic expressions for the main terms of the eigenvalues. Analyticity of the eigenprojectors yields expressions for limiting eigenvectors, which are strongly tied to discrete orthogonal polynomials. Both smooth and finitely smooth kernels are covered, with stronger results available in the finite smoothness case., Comment: 40 pages, 8 pages

The main result of this paper is that one cannot hear orientability of a surface with boundary. More precisely, we construct two isospectral flat surfaces with boundary with the same Neumann spectrum, one orientable, the other non-orientable. For this purpose, we apply Sunada's and Buser's methods in the framework of orbifolds. Choosing a symmetric tile in our construction, and adapting a folklore argument of Fefferman, we also show that the surfaces have different Dirichlet spectra. These results were announced in the {\it C. R. Acad. Sci. Paris S\'er. I Math.}, volume 320 in 1995, but the full proofs so far have only circulated in preprint form., Comment: Minor changes.

We study the spectra of general $N\times N$ Toeplitz matrices given by symbols in the Wiener Algebra perturbed by small complex Gaussian random matrices, in the regime $N\gg 1$. We prove an asymptotic formula for the number of eigenvalues of the perturbed matrix in smooth domains. We show that these eigenvalues follow a Weyl law with probability sub-exponentially close to $1$, as $N\gg1$, in particular that most eigenvalues of the perturbed Toeplitz matrix are close to the curve in the complex plane given by the symbol of the unperturbed Toeplitz matrix., 23 pages, 2 figures

We prove a quantitative deterministic equivalence theorem for the logarithmic potentials of deterministic complex N × N N\times N matrices subject to small random perturbations. We show that with probability close to 1 1 this log-potential is, up to a small error, determined by the singular values of the unperturbed matrix which are larger than some small N N -dependent cut-off parameter.

We define a random model for the moments of the new eigenfunctions of a point scatterer on a two-dimensional rectangular flat torus. In the deterministic setting, Seba conjectured these moments to be asymptotically Gaussian, in the semi-classical limit. This conjecture was disproved by Kurlberg–Ueberschar on Diophantine tori. In our model, we describe the accumulation points in distribution of the randomized moments, in the semi-classical limit. We prove that asymptotic Gaussianity holds if and only ifs some function, modeling the multiplicities of the Laplace eigenfunctions, diverges to $$+\infty $$ .

The magnetic Schrodinger operator, with Neumann boundary condition, on a smooth, bounded, and simply connected domain $$\Omega $$ of the Euclidean plane is considered in the semiclassical limit. When $$\Omega $$ has a symmetry axis, the semiclassical splitting of the first two eigenvalues is analyzed. The first explicit tunneling formula in a pure magnetic field is established. The analysis is based on a pseudo-differential reduction to the boundary and the proof of the first known optimal purely magnetic Agmon estimates.

International audience; In this work, we consider a linear age-structured problem with diffusion and non-homogeneous boundary conditions both for the age and the space variables. We handle this linear problem by rewriting it as a nondensely defined abstract Cauchy problem. To that aim we develop a new result on the closedness of a commutative sum of two non-densely defined operators by using the theory of integrated semigroups. As an application of this abstract result, we are able to associate a suitable integrated semigroup to some age-structured problem with spatial diffusion and equipped with non-homogeneous boundary conditions. This integrated semigroup is characterized by the description of its infinitesimal generator. Further applications of our abstract result are also given to the commutative sum of two almost sectorial operators, for which we derive a closedness results.

On the canonical $2$-sphere and for Schr{\"o}dinger eigenfunctions, we obtain a simple geometric criterion on the potential under which we can improve, near a given point and for every $p\neq 6$, Sogge's estimates by a power of the eigenvalue. This criterion can be formulated in terms of the critical points of the Radon transform of the potential and it is independent of the choice of eigenfunctions., Comment: 28 pages, minor modifications.

International audience; Let P(t) be an n × n (complex) exponentially parameterized pentadiagonal matrix. In this article, using a theorem of Akian, Bapat, and Gaubert, we present explicit formulas for asymptotics of the moduli of the eigenvalues of P(t) as t → ∞. Our approach is based on exploiting the relation with tropical algebra and the weighted digraphs of matrices. We prove that this asymptotics tends to a unique limit or two limits. Also, for n − 2 largest magnitude eigenvalues of P(t) we compute the asymptotics as n → ∞, in addition to t. When P(t) is also symmetric, these formulas allow us to compute the asymptotics of the 2‐norm condition number. The number of arithmetic operations involved, does not depend on n. We illustrate our results by some numerical tests.

We study a new link between the Steklov and Neumann eigenvalues of domains in Euclidean space. This is obtained through an homogenisation limit of the Steklov problem on a periodically perforated domain, converging to a family of eigenvalue problems with dynamical boundary conditions. For this problem, the spectral parameter appears both in the interior of the domain and on its boundary. This intermediary problem interpolates between Steklov and Neumann eigenvalues of the domain. As a corollary, we recover some isoperimetric type bounds for Neumann eigenvalues from known isoperimetric bounds for Steklov eigenvalues. The interpolation also leads to the construction of planar domains with first perimeter-normalized Stekov eigenvalue that is larger than any previously known example. The proofs are based on a modification of the energy method. It requires quantitative estimates for norms of harmonic functions. An intermediate step in the proof provides a homogenisation result for a transmission problem., Comment: 34 pages, 1 figure. v3: added some references, simplification of proofs and exposition

The question of determining for which eigenvalues there exists an eigenfunction which has the same number of nodal domains as the label of the associated eigenvalue (Courant-sharp property) was motivated by the analysis of minimal spectral partitions. In previous works, many examples have been analyzed corresponding to squares, rectangles, disks, triangles, tori, M\"obius strips,\ldots . A natural toy model for further investigations is the flat Klein bottle, a non-orientable surface with Euler characteristic $0$, and particularly the Klein bottle associated with the square torus, whose eigenvalues have higher multiplicities. In this note, we prove that the only Courant-sharp eigenvalues of the flat Klein bottle associated with the square torus (resp. with square fundamental domain) are the first and second eigenvalues. We also consider the flat cylinders $(0,\pi) \times \mathbb{S}^1_r$ where $r \in \{0.5,1\}$ is the radius of the circle $\mathbb{S}^1_r$, and we show that the only Courant-sharp Dirichlet eigenvalues of these cylinders are the first and second eigenvalues., Comment: Minor changes.

We consider a two-spectra inverse problem for the one-dimensional Schr\"{o}dinger equation with boundary conditions containing rational Herglotz--Nevanlinna functions of the eigenvalue parameter and provide a complete solution of this problem., Comment: 12 pages, minor corrections, to appear in Proceedings of the American Mathematical Society

We give necessary and sufficient conditions for the controllability of a Schrödinger equation involving a subelliptic operator on a compact manifold. This subelliptic operator is the sub-Laplacian of the manifold that is obtained by taking the quotient of a group of Heisenberg type by one of its discrete subgroups. This class of nilpotent Lie groups is a major example of stratified Lie groups of step 2. The sub-Laplacian involved in these Schrödinger equations is subelliptic, and, contrarily to what happens for the usual elliptic Schrödinger equation for example on flat tori or on negatively curved manifolds, there exists a minimal time of controllability. The main tools used in the proofs are (operator-valued) semi-classical measures constructed by use of representation theory and a notion of semi-classical wave packets that we introduce here in the context of groups of Heisenberg type.

International audience; This paper concerns an inverse band structure problem for one dimensional periodic Schrödinger operators (Hill's operators). Our goal is to find a potential for the Hill's operator in order to reproduce as best as possible some given target bands, which may not be realisable. We recast the problem as an optimisation problem, and prove that this problem is well-posed when considering singular potentials (Borel measures). We then propose different algorithms to tackle the problem numerically.

International audience; We introduce a "dual-space approach" to mixed Nevanlinna-Pick/Carathéodory-Schur interpolation in Banach spaces X of holomorphic functions on the disk. Our approach can be viewed as complementary to the well-known commutant lifting approach of D. Sarason and B. Nagy-C.Foiaş. We compute the norm of the minimal interpolant in X by a version of the Hahn-Banach theorem, which we use to extend functionals defined on a subspace of kernels without increasing their norm. This Functional extensions lemma plays a similar role as Sarason's Commutant lifting theorem but it only involves the predual of X and no Hilbert space structure is needed. As an example, we present the respective Pick-type interpolation theorems for Beurling-Sobolev spaces.

International audience; The aim of this work is to study the controllability of infinite bilinear Schr\"odinger equations on a segment. We consider the equations (BSE) $i\partial_t\psi^{j}=-\Delta\psi^j+u(t)B\psi^j$ in the Hilbert space $L^2((0,1),\mathbb{C})$ for every $j\in\mathbb{N}^*$. The Laplacian $-\Delta$ is equipped with Dirichlet homogeneous boundary conditions, $B$ is a bounded symmetric operator and $u\in L^2((0,T),\mathbb{R})$ with $T>0$. We prove the simultaneous local and global exact controllability of infinite (BSE) in projection. The local controllability is guaranteed for any positive time and we provide explicit examples of $B$ for which our theory is valid. In addition, we show that the controllability of infinite (BSE) in projection ontosuitable finite dimensional spaces is equivalent to the controllability of a finite number of (BSE) (without projecting). In conclusion, we rephrase our controllability results in terms of density matrices.

International audience; We propose a new point of view in the study of Fourier analysis on graphs, taking advantage of localization in the Fourier domain. For a signal $f$ on vertices of a weighted graph $\mathcal{G}$ with Laplacian matrix $\mathcal{L}$, standard Fourier analysis of $f$ relies on the study of functions $g(\mathcal{L})f$ for some filters $g$ on $I_\mathcal{L}$, the smallest interval containing the Laplacian spectrum ${\rm sp}(\mathcal{L}) \subset I_\mathcal{L}$. We show that for carefully chosen partitions $I_\mathcal{L} = \sqcup_{1\leq k\leq K} I_k$ ($I_k \subset I_\mathcal{L}$), there are many advantages in understanding the collection $(g(\mathcal{L}_{I_k})f)_{1\leq k\leq K}$ instead of $g(\mathcal{L})f$ directly, where $\mathcal{L}_I$ is the projected matrix $P_I(\mathcal{L})\mathcal{L}$. First, the partition provides a convenient modelling for the study of theoretical properties of Fourier analysis and allows for new results in graph signal analysis (\emph{e.g.} noise level estimation, Fourier support approximation). We extend the study of spectral graph wavelets to wavelets localized in the Fourier domain, called LocLets, and we show that well-known frames can be written in terms of LocLets. From a practical perspective, we highlight the interest of the proposed localized Fourier analysis through many experiments that show significant improvements in two different tasks on large graphs, noise level estimation and signal denoising. Moreover, efficient strategies permit to compute sequence $(g(\mathcal{L}_{I_k})f)_{1\leq k\leq K}$ with the same time complexity as for the computation of $g(\mathcal{L})f$.

We extend a higher-order sum rule proved by B. Simon to matrix valued measures on the unit circle and their matrix Verblunsky coefficients.

International audience We consider the first exit point distribution from a bounded domain Ω of the stochastic process (Xt)t≥0 solution to the overdamped Langevin dynamics dXt = −∇f(Xt)dt + √ h dBt starting from the quasi-stationary distribution in Ω. In the small temperature regime (h → 0) and under rather general assumptions on f (in particular, f may have several critical points in Ω), it is proven that the support of the distribution of the first exit point concentrates on some points realizing the minimum of f on ∂Ω. Some estimates on the relative likelihood of these points are provided. The proof relies on tools from semi-classical analysis. Dans ce travail, nous étudions la distribution du point de sortie d’un domaine borné Ω pour le processus stochastique (Xt)t≥0 solution de la dynamique de Langevin suramortie dXt = −∇f(Xt)dt + √ h dBt initialement distribué suivant la distribution quasi-stationnaire dans Ω. Dans lalimite basse température h → 0 et sous des hypothèses générales sur la fonction f (f pouvant notamment avoir plusieurs points critiques dans Ω), nous montrons que la distribution du lieu de sortie se concentre sur certains points réalisant le minimum de f sur ∂Ω. Nous calculons aussi les probabilités relatives de sortir autour de chacun de ces points. Nos preuves reposent sur des outils issus de l’analyse semi-classique.

Let X be an Ornstein–Uhlenbeck process driven by a Brownian motion. We propose an expression for the joint density / distribution function of the process and its running supremum. This law is expressed as an expansion involving parabolic cylinder functions. Numerically, we obtain this law faster with our expression than with a Monte Carlo method. Numerical applications illustrate the interest of this result.

We introduce a family $$\{\mathcal {B}_s(\Gamma )\}_{s\in \mathbb C}$$ of line bundles over the unit tangent bundle $$\text {T}^1X_\Gamma $$ of a hyperbolic surface $$X_\Gamma $$ . These bundles vary in an holomorphic way when restricted to the leaves of the stable foliation and to the leaves of the unstable foliation. A stable (resp. unstable) foliated automorphic form of weight s on $$\text {T}^1X_\Gamma $$ is defined as a continuous section of $$\mathcal {B}_s(\Gamma )\rightarrow \text {T}^1X_\Gamma $$ which is holomorphic along the leaves of the stable (resp. unstable) foliation. We study mainly the case when $$X_\Gamma $$ is compact. In that situation we construct, from any $$s(1-s)$$ -eigenfunction of the Laplace operator on $$X_\Gamma $$ , two foliated automorphic forms, one of weight s and one of weight $$1-s$$ . We give some general properties of the foliated automorphic forms ; in particular, we construct when $$0

International audience; In this paper, we give some simple counterexamples to uniqueness for the Calderon problem on Riemannian manifolds with boundary when the Dirichlet and Neumann data are measured on disjoint sets of the boundary. We provide counterexamples in the case of two and three dimensional Riemannian manifolds with boundary having the topology of circular cylinders in dimension two and toric cylinders in dimension three. The construction could be easily extended to higher dimensional Riemannian manifolds.

International audience; In this paper, a symmetric alpha stable process where its spectral representation has an additive error is considered. The error is supposed to be constant. A periodogram as estimator of the spectral density and its rate of convergence are given. In order to give an asymptotically unbiased and consistent estimate of the spectral density, this periodogram is smoothed by an adapted spectral window. The rate of convergence is given.

Revised version following referees' comments. Final version J. Eur. Math. Soc. Vol. 20 (12), 2018, 3017-3071.; International audience; We study the asymptotic properties of the conormal cycle of nodal sets associated to a random superposition of eigenfunctions of the Laplacian on a smooth compact Riemannian manifold without boundary. In the case where the dimension is odd, we show that the expectation of the corresponding current of integration equidistributes on the fibers of the cotangent bundle. In the case where the dimension is even, we obtain an upper bound of lower order on the expectation. Using recent results of Alesker, we also deduce some properties on the asymptotic expectation of any smooth valuation including the Euler characteristic of random nodal sets.

We use the averaged variational principle introduced in a recent article on graph spectra [7] to obtain upper bounds for sums of eigenvalues of several partial differential operators of interest in geometric analysis, which are analogues of Kr{\"o}ger 's bound for Neumann spectra of Laplacians on Euclidean domains [12]. Among the operators we consider are the Laplace-Beltrami operator on compact subdomains of manifolds. These estimates become more explicit and asymptotically sharp when the manifold is conformal to homogeneous spaces (here extending a result of Strichartz [21] with a simplified proof). In addition we obtain results for the Witten Laplacian on the same sorts of domains and for Schr{\"o}dinger operators with confining potentials on infinite Euclidean domains. Our bounds have the sharp asymptotic form expected from the Weyl law or classical phase-space analysis. Similarly sharp bounds for the trace of the heat kernel follow as corollaries., Comment: in Journal of Spectral Theory, 2016
