Courant's nodal domain theorem tells us that the kth eigenfunction of the Dirichlet Laplacian has at most k nodal domains. Pleijel's nodal domain theorem is instead an asymptotic statemen t\, telling us that the ratio of the number of nodal domains to the index of the eigenfunction has limsup bounded above by a fixed constant less tha n 1. In this talk\, we give a survey of recent extensions of and variation s on Pleijel's theorem. As an example\, we prove that Pleijel's nodal doma in theorem holds for the Robin Laplacian on any Lipschitz domain. This is joint work with Katie Gittins (Durham)\, Asma Hassannezhad (Bristol)\, and Corentin Lena (Padova).\n\nJoin Zoom Meeting\n\nhttps://umontreal.zoom.us /j/89528730384?pwd=IF10Cg8C0YfogaBlL6F1NboPaQvAaV.1\n\nMeeting ID: 895 287 3 0384\n\nPasscode: 077937\n DTSTART:20241206T190000Z DTEND:20241206T200000Z SUMMARY:David Sher (DePaul University) URL:/mathstat/channels/event/david-sher-depaul-univers ity-361741 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
