Some remarks on critical sets of Laplace eigenfunctions

We study the set of critical points of a solution to $Δu = λ\cdot u$ and in particular components of the critical set that have codimension 1. We show, for example, that if a second Neumann eigenfunction of a simply connected polygon $P$ has infinitely many critical points, then $P$ is a rectangle.
