Spectral Theory

We prove upper bounds on the $L^p$ norms of eigenfunctions of the discrete Laplacian on regular graphs. We then apply these ideas to study the $L^p$ norms of joint eigenfunctions of the Laplacian and an averaging operator over a finite…

We consider the regularized trace of the inverse of the Laplacian on a skinny torus. With its flat metric, a skinny torus has large trace, but we show that there are conformally equivalent metrics making the trace close to that of a sphere…

We prove the expected duration of a game of hide-and-seek played on a Riemannian manifold under the laws of Brownian Motion is a spectral invariant: it is a zeta-regularized version of the `trace' of the Laplacian. An analogous…

We consider an inverse problem for Schr\"odinger operators on a connected equilateral graph $G$ with standard matching conditions. The graph $G$ consists of at least two odd cycles glued together at a common vertex. We prove an Ambarzumian…

Assume that $T$ is a self-adjoint operator on a Hilbert space $\mathcal{H}$ and that the spectrum of $T$ is confined in the union $\bigcup_{j\in J}\Delta_j$, $J\subseteq\mathbb{Z}$, of segments $\Delta_j=[\alpha_j,…

We give sufficient conditions of the nonnegative inverse eigenvalue problem (NIEP) for normal centrosymmetric matrices. These sufficient conditions are analogous to the sufficient conditions of the NIEP for normal matrices given by Xu [16]…

Harmonic decompositions of multivariate time series are considered for which we adopt an integral operator approach with periodic semigroup kernels. Spectral decomposition theorems are derived that cover the important cases of two-time…

The purpose of this short note is to give a variation on the classical Donsker-Varadhan inequality, which bounds the first eigenvalue of a second-order elliptic operator on a bounded domain $\Omega$ by the largest mean first exit time of…

In this paper we find explicit conditions on the periodic PT-symmetric complex-valued potential q for which the number of gaps in the real part of the spectrum of the one-dimensional Schrodinger operator L(q) is finite.

In this note semibounded self-adjoint extensions of symmetric operators are investigated with the help of the abstract notion of quasi boundary triples and their Weyl functions. The main purpose is to provide new sufficient conditions on…

Spectral analysis of operator-functions which are the symbols of the abstract integrodifferential equations of the Gurtin-Pipkin is provided. These equations represent abstract wave equations disturbed by terms involving Volterra operators.…

In this note we consider a heat trace expansion on a manifold with wedge-like singularity. We show that there are two terms in the expansion that contain information about the presence of the singularity, namely the logarithmic term…

It is known that the spectral type of the almost Mathieu operator depends in a fundamental way on both the strength of the coupling constant and the arithmetic properties of the frequency. We study the competition between those factors and…

In the previous article we derived a detailed asymptotic expansion of the heat trace for the Laplace-Beltrami operator on functions on manifolds with conic singularities. In this article we investigate how the terms in the expansion reflect…

We derive a detailed asymptotic expansion of the heat trace for the Laplace-Beltrami operator on functions on manifolds with conic singularities, using the Singular Asymptotics Lemma of Jochen Bruening and Robert T. Seeley [BS]. In the…

We study the spectral flow of Landau-Robin hamiltonians in the exterior of a compact domain with smooth boundary. This provides a method to study the spectrum of the exterior Landau-Robin hamiltonian's dependence on the choice of Robin…

We prove a result of delocalization for the Anderson model on the regular tree (Bethe lattice). When the disorder is weak, it is known that large parts of the spectrum are a.s. purely absolutely continuous, and that the dynamical transport…

In this paper we investigate the spectrum and spectrality of the one-dimensional Schrodinger operator with a periodic PT-symmetric complex-valued potential.

For the pair $\{-\Delta, -\Delta-\alpha\delta_\mathcal{C}\}$ of self-adjoint Schr\"{o}dinger operators in $L^2(\mathbb{R}^n)$ a spectral shift function is determined in an explicit form with the help of (energy parameter dependent)…

We study resonances generated by rank one perturbations of selfadjoint operators with eigenvalues embedded in the continuous spectrum. Instability of these eigenvalues is analyzed and almost exponential decay for the associated resonant…
