Spectral Theory

In this note, we consider a fixed vector field $V$ on $S^2$ and study the distribution of points which lie on the nodal set (of a random spherical harmonic) where $V$ is also tangent. We show that the expected value of the corresponding…

The paper presents an explicit form of the resolvent for the class of generators of $C_0$-groups with purely imaginary eigenvalues, clustering at $i\infty$, and complete minimal non-basis family of eigenvectors, constructed recently by the…

We investigate the spectrum of the three-dimensional Dirichlet Laplacian in a prototypal infinite polyhedral layer, that is formed by three perpendicular quarter-plane walls of constant width joining each other. Alternatively, this domain…

A list $\Lambda =\{\lambda _{1},\lambda_{2},\ldots ,\lambda _{n}\}$ of complex numbers is said to be realizable if it is the spectrum of an entrywise nonnegative matrix. The list $\Lambda $ is said to be universally realizable…

We show a norm convergence result for the Laplacian on a class of post-critically finite fractals with arbitrary Borel regular probability measure which can be approximated by a sequence of finite-dimensional graph Laplacians with…

We study bounds on the Riesz means of the mixed Steklov-Neumann and Steklov-Dirichlet eigenvalue problem on a bounded domain $\Omega$ in $\mathbb{R}^n$. The Steklov-Neumann eigenvalue problem is also called the sloshing problem. We obtain…

In this paper, we study the quasi-periodic operators $H_{\epsilon,\omega}(x)$: $$(H_{\epsilon,\omega}(x)\vec{\psi})_n=\epsilon\sum_{k\in\mathbb{Z}}W_k\vec{\psi}_{n-k}+V(x+n\omega)\vec{\psi}_n,$$ where…

This paper is concerned with the maximisation of the k'th eigenvalue of the Laplacian amongst flat tori of unit volume in dimension d as k goes to infinity. We show that in any dimension maximisers exist for any given k, but that any…

We prove Polterovich's conjecture concerning the growth of the number of nodal domains for eigenfunctions on a unit square domain, under the assumption that the eigenfunctions do not have any singular points.

For certain spectral parameters we find explicit eigenfunctions of transfer operators for Schottky surfaces. Comparing the dimension of the eigenspace for the spectral parameter zero with the multiplicity of topological zeros of the Selberg…

We consider a quantum system S interacting with another system S and susceptible of being absorbed by S. The effective, dissipative dynamics of S is supposed to be generated by an abstract pseudo-Hamiltonian of the form H = H0 + V -- iC *…

The spectral radius of a uniform hypergraph $G$ is the the maximum modulus of the eigenvalues of the adjacency tensor of $G$. For $k\ge 2$, among connected $k$-uniform hypergraphs with $m\ge 1$ edges, we show that the $k$-uniform loose path…

We consider a "convolution mm-Laplacian" operator on metric-measure spaces and study its spectral properties. The definition is based on averaging over small metric balls. For reasonably nice metric-measure spaces we prove stability of…

We consider a magnetic Laplacian with periodic magnetic potentials on periodic discrete graphs. Its spectrum consists of a finite number of bands, where degenerate bands are eigenvalues of infinite multiplicity. We obtain a specific…

We study the limit behavior of the Dirichlet and Neumann eigenvalue counting function of generalized second order differential operators $\frac{d}{d \mu} \frac{d}{d x}$, where $\mu$ is a finite atomless Borel measure on some compact…

Exploring the relationship between geometry and the resonant frequencies of a shape is of interest to pure and applied mathematicians. These resonant frequencies are related to the spectrum of the Laplacian, a partial differential operator.…

Here, we focus on Anderson type operators over infinite graphs where the randomness acts through higher rank perturbations. We show that for special family of graphs, the operator has non-trivial multiplicity for its pure point spectrum.…

Here we show that for Schr\"{o}dinger operator with decaying random potential with fat tail single site distribution, the negative spectrum shows a transition from essential spectrum to discrete spectrum. We study the Schr\"{o}dinger…

We consider a waveguide-like domain consisting of two thin straight tubular domains connected through a tiny window. The perpendicular size of this waveguide is of order $\varepsilon$. Under the assumption that the window is appropriately…

Here, we suggest a method to represent general directed uniform and non-uniform hypergraphs by different connectivity tensors. We show many results on spectral properties of undirected hypergraphs also hold for general directed uniform…
