Uniform Non-Localization under Robin Boundary Perturbations: Spectral Splitting and Bounded Eigenspace Complexity

Abstract

We study the high-energy spectral effect of Robin boundary perturbations on complete Laplace eigenspaces and its consequences for eigenfunction non-localization. Highly degenerate Neumann levels generally split under Robin perturbation, but this splitting need not produce a simple spectrum: distinct modal classes may still contribute to the same Robin eigenvalue. We prove that, for every fixed positive Robin parameter, the number of modal classes contributing to any one eigenvalue is uniformly bounded over the spectrum on the equilateral triangle and on every rectangle with rational squared aspect ratio. On the equilateral triangle, for all sufficiently small Robin parameters, the Neumann complete-eigenspace observation estimate persists with a constant uniform both in the eigenvalue and in the boundary parameter. For an arbitrary fixed positive Robin parameter, a high-frequency shell-splitting analysis gives a spectrum-wide bound on the number of modal classes contributing to any one Robin eigenvalue. In the nonsquare rectangular case, the corresponding splitting is governed by a strongly convex profile on weighted quadratic shells. Since each modal class has uniformly boundedplane-wave complexity, the spectral complexity bound implies observation on every measurable set of positive measure through a multidimensional Turán--Nazarov inequality, without a frequency-separation assumption. Thus, spectral simplicity is not required for complete-eigenspace non-localization: uniformly bounded spectral coincidence complexity is sufficient.

The exterior Steklov problem for Euclidean domains

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. Next, we examine various properties of the exterior Steklov eigenvalues and eigenfunctions. One of our main findings is an Escobar-type lower bound for the first exterior Steklov eigenvalue on convex domains in dimensions three and higher. This bound is expressed in terms of the principal curvatures of the boundary and is sharp, with equality attained for a ball. Moreover, it implies the existence of a sequence of convex domains with fixed volume and the first exterior Steklov eigenvalues tending to infinity. This contrasts with the interior case, as well as with the two-dimensional exterior case, for which we show that an analogue of the Weinstock isoperimetric inequality holds.

Lieb-Thirring bounds for Melik-Adamyan canonical Hamiltonians

We study a class of positive matrix Hamiltonians arising from the canonical differential expressions of Melik--Adamyan and appearing in the appendix of Alpay--Gohberg. Let $J$ and $B$ be self-adjoint involutions on $\mathbb C^{2n}$ satisfying $JB=-BJ$, and let $H>0$ satisfy $HJH=J$. For $m>0$ we consider $$ \mathcal A_{m,H}=H^{-1}\left(-iJ\frac{d}{dt}+mB\right) $$ in the weighted space $L^2_H$. A locally absolutely continuous $J$-unitary gauge $Θ$ representing $H$ reduces this expression to the free massive Dirac operator plus the Hermitian coefficient $$ P_{m,Θ}=-iΘ^*JΘ'+m(Θ^*BΘ-B). $$ Whenever this coefficient belongs to $L^2$, the corresponding self-adjoint realization, including its operator domain, is independent of the chosen representing gauge. Minimizing $\int\mathrm{Tr}|P_{m,Θ}|^2$ over the gauge fibre defines an intrinsic energy. A two-sided Birman--Schwinger decoupling, combined with a truncated pseudo-relativistic estimate proved here, gives a $3/2$-moment bound for all eigenvalues in the gap $(-m,m)$ in terms of this energy. The Dirac estimate applies to arbitrary Hermitian matrix coefficients in $L^2$ and requires no sign condition. On the half-line we treat every self-adjoint Lagrangian boundary condition. Two reflection-compatible conditions require no endpoint correction, while an arbitrary condition contributes at most $2nm^{3/2}$. At zero mass, the optimal-gauge energy is computed explicitly in terms of $H^{-1/2}H'H^{-1/2}$. For a scalar hyperbolic-rotation family the massive gauge minimization reduces exactly to a one-dimensional phase functional. We prove existence of a minimizer in the principal phase sector and give an explicit trial phase that strictly and quantitatively improves the positive lift whenever the corresponding first variation is nonzero.

Neumann eigenvalues of isosceles triangles: monotonicity and asymptotics

We prove Laugesen and Siudeja's conjecture on Neumann eigenvalues of isosceles triangles. After multiplication by the squared diameter, the first positive symmetric eigenvalue increases strictly with the apex angle $θ$, while the first antisymmetric eigenvalue decreases strictly up to the equilateral triangle and increases strictly thereafter. \rev{The proof combines a slice-average estimate of directional energies with the explicit equilateral eigenfunction.} A quadratic correction across slices also gives a two-term expansion for every fixed positive spectral index $k$ as $θ\downarrow0$, with relative correction $θ^2/6$ and remainder $O_k(θ^4)$.
