Using expander graphs, we construct a sequence ${Omega_N}_{Ninmathbb{N}}$ of smooth compact surfaces with boundary of perimeter $N$, and with the first non-zero Steklov eigenvalue $sigma_1(Omega_N)$ uniformly bounded away from zero. This answers a question which was raised in [10]. The sequence $sigma_1(Omega_N) L(partialOmega_n)$ grows linearly with the genus of $Omega_N$, which is the optimal growth rate.

We study the splitting of invariant manifolds of whiskered tori with two or three frequencies in nearly-integrable Hamiltonian systems, such that the hyperbolic part is given by a pendulum. We consider a 2-dimensional torus with a frequency vector ! = (1; ), where is a quadratic irrational number, or a 3-dimensional torus with a frequency vector ! = (1; ; 2 ), where is a cubic irrational number. Applying the Poincar e{Melnikov method, we nd exponentially small asymptotic estimates for the maximal splitting distance between the stable and unstable manifolds associated to the invariant torus, and we show that such estimates depend strongly on the arithmetic properties of the frequencies. In the quadratic case, we use the continued fractions theory to establish a certain arithmetic property, fullled in 24 cases, which allows us to provide asymptotic estimates in a simple way. In the cubic case, we focus our attention to the case in which is the so-called cubic golden number (the real root of x 3 +x 1 = 0), obtaining also asymptotic estimates. We point out the similitudes and dierences between the results obtained for both the quadratic and cubic cases.

Let $u, v$ be two harmonic functions in ${|z|<2}subsetmathbb{C}$ which have exactly the same set $Z$ of zeros. We observe that $big|nablalog |u/v|big|$ is bounded in the unit disk by a constant which depends on $Z$ only. In case $Z=emptyset$ this goes back to Li-Yau's gradient estimate for positive harmonic functions. The general boundary Harnack principle gives only Holder estimates on $log |u/v|$.

We study conformal invariants that arise from functions in the nullspace of conformally covariant differential operators. The invariants include nodal sets and the topology of nodal domains of eigenfunctions in the kernel of GJMS operators. We establish that on any manifold of dimension $ngeq 3$, there exist many metrics for which our invariants are nontrivial. We discuss new applications to curvature prescription problems.

In this paper, we first introduce the notion of a Yetter-Drinfeld comodule algebra and give examples. Then we give the structure theorems of Yetter-Drinfeld comodule algebras. That is, if $L$ is a Yetter-Drinfeld Hopf algebra and $A$ is a right $L$-Yetter-Drinfeld comodule algebra, then there exists an algebra isomorphism between $A$ and $A^{coL} mathbin{sharp} H$, where $A^{coL}$ is the coinvariant subalgebra of $A$.

We propose an explicit formula for the Segre classes of monomial subschemes of nonsingular varieties, such as schemes defined by monomial ideals in projective space. The Segre class is expressed as a formal integral on a region bounded by the corresponding Newton polyhedron. We prove this formula for monomial ideals in two variables and verify it for some families of examples in any number of variables.

Mixed volumes, which are the polarization of volume with respect to the Minkowski addition, are fundamental objects in convexity. In this note we announce the construction of mixed integrals, which are functional analogs of mixed volumes. We build a natural addition operation $oplus$ on the class of quasi-concave functions, such that every class of $alpha$-concave functions is closed under $oplus$. We then define the mixed integrals, which are the polarization of the integral with respect to $oplus$. We proceed to discuss the extension of various classic inequalities to the functional setting. For general quasi-concave functions, this is done by restating those results in the language of rearrangement inequalities. Restricting ourselves to $alpha$-concave functions, we state a generalization of the Alexandrov inequalities in their more familiar form.

We consider billiard ball motion in a convex domain of a constant curvature surface influenced by the constant magnetic field. We prove that if the billiard map is totally integrable then the boundary curve is necessarily a circle. This result shows that the so-called Hopf rigidity phenomenon which was recently obtained for classical billiards on constant curvature surfaces holds true also in the presence of constant magnetic field.
