The spectrum of some Poisson mosaic processes in the plane and the convex hull of the Brownian bridge (Q1917696)

The author investigates relationships between geometric properties of the mosaic process, properties of the convex hull of the Brownian bridge and spectrum of the Laplacian in a convex domain. In particular, it is shown that the empirical spectral function \(\Phi\) of the Laplacian is given by the formula \(\Phi(t)=(4\pi^2t)^{-1}E \exp(-\sqrt{2t}Y)\), where \(Y\) denotes the perimeter of the convex hull of the Brownian bridge. The formula for the empirical repartition function of eigenvalues follows as a consequence. Negative moments of \(Y\) are evaluated in terms of the Green's function of the domain.
