Spectral Theory

We consider continuous one-dimensional multifrequency Schr\"odinger operators, with analytic potential, and prove Anderson localization in the regime of positive Lyapunov exponent for almost all phases and almost all Diophantine…

We consider the Hamiltonian $\hat {\mathrm{H}}_{\mu}$ of a system of three identical particles(bosons) on the $d-$ dimensional lattice $\Z^d, d=1,2$ interacting via pairwise zero-range attractive potential $\mu<0$. We describe precise…

We consider the problem of finding universal bounds of "isoperimetric" or "isodiametric" type on the spectral gap of the Laplacian on a metric graph with natural boundary conditions at the vertices, in terms of various analytical and…

We obtain an essential spectral gap for $n$-dimensional convex co-compact hyperbolic manifolds with the dimension $\delta$ of the limit set close to $(n-1)/2$. The size of the gap is expressed using the additive energy of stereographic…

The nonlinear Schr\"odinger equation NLSE(p, \beta), -iu_t=-u_{xx}+\beta | u|^{p-2} u=0, arises from a Hamiltonian on infinite-dimensional phase space \Lp^2(\mT). For p\leq 6, Bourgain (Comm. Math. Phys. 166 (1994), 1--26) has shown that…

The aim of the paper is to derive spectral estimates on the eigenvalue moments of the magnetic Dirichlet Laplacian defined on the two-dimensional disk with a radially symmetric magnetic field.

Necessary and sufficient conditions for two sequences $\{\mu_n\}_{n=0}^\infty$ and $\{ a_n\}_{n=0}^\infty$ to be the spectral data for a certain Sturm-Liouville problem are well known. We add two more conditions so that the same two…

We consider an inverse spectral problem for a class of singular AKNS operators $H\_a, a\in\N$ with an explicit singularity. We construct for each $a\in\N$, a standard map $\lambda^a\times\kappa^a$ with spectral data $\lambda^a$ and some…

For a class of singular Sturm-Liouville equations on the unit interval with explicit singularity $a(a + 1)/x^2, a \in \mathbb{N}$, we consider an inverse spectral problem. Our goal is the global parametrization of potentials by spectral…

We introduce a class of (tuples of commuting) unbounded operators on a Banach space, admitting smooth functional calculi, that contains all operators of Helffer-Sj\"ostrand type and is closed under the action of smooth proper mappings.…

We present a new and simple bound for the exponential decay of second order systems using the spectral shift. This result is applied to finite matrices as well as to partial differential equations of Mathematical Physics. The type of the…

We study the dependence of the zeros of eigenfunctions of Sturm-Liouville problem on the parameters that define the boundary conditions. As a corollary, we obtain Sturm oscillation theorem, which states that the $n$-th eigenfunction has $n$…

Our main result is an elementary derivation of the spectral decomposition of hypermatrices generated by arbitrary combinations of Kronecker products and direct sums of cubic side length 2

We determine the essential spectrum of Hamiltonians with N-body type interactions that have radial limits at infinity. This extends the HVZ-theorem, which treats perturbations of the Laplacian by potentials that tend to zero at infinity.…

The purpose of this paper is to study spectral properties of non-self-adjoint Schr\"odinger operators $-\Delta-\frac{(n-2)^2}{4|x|^{2}}+V$ on $\mathbb{R}^n$ with complex-valued potentials $V\in L^{p,\infty}$, $p>n/2$. We prove Keller type…

We study the properties and asymptotics of the Jacobi matrices associated with equilibrium measures of the weakly equilibrium Cantor sets. These family of Cantor sets were defined and different aspects of orthogonal polynomials on them were…

Let $\{\lambda_n^2\}_{n = 0}^\infty$ be the spectra of a Sturm-Liouville problem on $[0,\pi ]$. We investigate the question: Do the systems $\{\cos(\lambda_n x)\}_{n= 0}^\infty$ or $\{\sin(\lambda_n x)\}_{n = 0}^\infty$ form Riesz bases in…

In this paper we prove the dry version of the Ten Martini problem: Cantor spectrum with all gaps open, for the extended Harper's model in the non self-dual region for Diophantine frequencies.

In this note we show that if a family of ergodic Schr\"odinger operators on $l^2({\Bbb Z}^\gamma)$ with continuous potentials have uniformly localized eigenfunctions then these eigenfunctions must be uniformly localized in a homogeneous…
