By introducing a weight function to the Laplace operator, Bakry and Emery defined the drift Laplacian to study diffusion processes. Our first main result is that, given a Bakry-Emery manifold, there is a naturally associated family of graphs whose eigenvalues converge to the eigenvalues of the drift Laplacian as the graphs collapse to the manifold. Applications of this result include a new relationship between Dirichlet eigenvalues of domains in $R^n$ and Neumann eigenvalues of domains in $R^{n+1}$ and a new maximum principle. Using our main result and maximum principle, we are able to generalize emph{all the results in Riemannian geometry based on gradient estimates to Bakry-Emery manifolds}.
For $alphain(0,pi)$, let $U_alpha$ denote the infinite planar sector of opening $2alpha$, [ U_alpha=big{ (x_1,x_2)inmathbb R^2: big|arg(x_1+ix_2) big|<alpha big}, ] and $T^gamma_alpha$ be the Laplacian in $L^2(U_alpha)$, $T^gamma_alpha u= -Delta u$,
Let $Omega$ be a curvilinear polygon and $Q^gamma_{Omega}$ be the Laplacian in $L^2(Omega)$, $Q^gamma_{Omega}psi=-Delta psi$, with the Robin boundary condition $partial_ u psi=gamma psi$, where $partial_ u$ is the outer normal derivative and $gamma>0
Our main result is that if a generic convex domain in $R^n$ collapses to a domain in $R^{n-1}$, then the difference between the first two Dirichlet eigenvalues of the Euclidean Laplacian, known as the fundamental gap, diverges. The boundary of the do
We discuss several geometric conditions guaranteeing the finiteness or the infiniteness of the discrete spectrum for Robin Laplacians on conical domains.
We study spectral properties for $H_{K,Omega}$, the Krein--von Neumann extension of the perturbed Laplacian $-Delta+V$ defined on $C^infty_0(Omega)$, where $V$ is measurable, bounded and nonnegative, in a bounded open set $Omegasubsetmathbb{R}^n$ bel
