We prove that the second positive Neumann eigenvalue of a bounded simply-connected planar domain of a given area does not exceed the first positive Neumann eigenvalue on a disk of a twice smaller area. This estimate is sharp and attained by a sequence of domains degenerating to a union of two identical disks. In particular, this result implies the Polya conjecture for the second Neumann eigenvalue. The proof is based on a combination of analytic and topological arguments. As a by-product of our method we obtain an upper bound on the second eigenvalue for conformally round metrics on odd-dimensional spheres.

We study the discrete spectrum of the Robin Laplacian $Q^{Omega}_alpha$ in $L^2(Omega)$, [ umapsto -Delta u, quad dfrac{partial u}{partial n}=alpha u text{ on }partialOmega, ] where $Omegasubset mathbb{R}^{3}$ is a conical domain with a regular cross-section $Thetasubset mathbb{S}^2$, $n$ is the outer unit normal, and $alpha>0$ is a fixed constant. It is known from previous papers that the bottom of the essential spectrum of $Q^{Omega}_alpha$ is $-alpha^2$ and that the finiteness of the discrete spectrum depends on the geometry of the cross-section. We show that the accumulation of the discrete spectrum of $Q^Omega_alpha$ is determined by the discrete spectrum of an effective Hamiltonian defined on the boundary and far from the origin. By studying this model operator, we prove that the number of eigenvalues of $Q^{Omega}_alpha$ in $(-infty,-alpha^2-lambda)$, with $lambda>0$, behaves for $lambdato0$ as [ dfrac{alpha^2}{8pi lambda} int_{partialTheta} kappa_+(s)^2d s +oleft(frac{1}{lambda}right), ] where $kappa_+$ is the positive part of the geodesic curvature of the cross-section boundary.
We consider the spectral structure of the Neumann--Poincare operators defined on the boundaries of thin domains of rectangle shape in two dimensions. We prove that as the aspect ratio of the domains tends to $infty$, or equivalently, as the domains get thinner, the spectra of the Neumann--Poincare operators are densely distributed in the interval $[-1/2,1/2]$.
By the Moutard transformation method we construct two-dimensional Schrodinger operators with real smooth potential decaying at infinity and with a multiple positive eigenvalue. These potentials are rational functions of spatial variables and their sines and cosines.
We show that trapezoids with identical Neumann spectra are congruent up to rigid motions of the plane. The proof is based on heat trace invariants and some new wave trace invariants associated to certain diffractive billiard trajectories. The reason we can only treat the Neumann case is that the wave trace is more singular for the Neumann case compared to the Dirichlet case. This is a new observation which is interesting on its own.
We prove that the elastic Neumann--Poincare operator defined on the smooth boundary of a bounded domain in three dimensions, which is known to be non-compact, is in fact polynomially compact. As a consequence, we prove that the spectrum of the elastic Neumann-Poincare operator consists of three non-empty sequences of eigenvalues accumulating to certain numbers determined by Lame parameters. These results are proved using the surface Riesz transform, calculus of pseudo-differential operators and the spectral mapping theorem.
