Spectral Theory
We explicitly determine the high-energy asymptotics for Weyl-Titchmarsh matrices associated with general matrix-valued Schr\"odinger operators on a half-line.
We discuss a method of the asymptotic computation of moments of the normalized eigenvalue counting measure of random matrices of large order. The method is based on the resolvent identity and on some formulas relating expectations of…
We explore connections between Krein's spectral shift function $\xi(\lambda,H_0,H)$ associated with the pair of self-adjoint operators $(H_0,H)$, $H=H_0+V$ in a Hilbert space $\calH$ and the recently introduced concept of a spectral shift…
The recently introduced concept of a spectral shift operator is applied in several instances. Explicit applications include Krein's trace formula for pairs of self-adjoint operators, the Birman-Solomyak spectral averaging formula and its…
For a class of manifolds that includes quotients of real hyperbolic space by a convex co-compact discrete group, we show that the resonances of the meromorphically continued resolvent kernel for the Laplacian coincide, with multiplicities,…
Let H = -(1/m(x))L be the reduced wave operator defined on the N-dimensional Euclidean space, where \f L is the Laplacian. Here m(x) is a positive step function with possible countably infinte surfaces of discontinuity (separating surfaces)…
Consider the differential operator H = -(1/m(x))L, where L is the N-dimensional Laplacian, in the weighted Hilbert space of square integrable functions on N-dimensional Euclidean space with weight m(x)dx. Here m(x) is a positive step…
We shall investigate the asymptotic behavior of the extended resolvent R(s) of the Dirac operator as |s| increases to infinity, where s is a real parameter. It will be shown that the norm of R(s), as a bounded operator between two weighted…
The author extends the idea of Jodeit and Levitan for constructing isospectral problems of the classical scalar Sturm-Liouville differential equations to the vectorial Sturm-Liouville differential equations. Some interesting relations are…
The author tries to derive the asymptotic expression of the large eigevalues of some vectorial Sturm-Liouville differential equations. A precise description for the formula of the square root of the large eiegnvalues up to the $O(1/n)$-term…
We introduce the concept of a spectral shift operator and use it to derive Krein's spectral shift function for pairs of self-adjoint operators. Our principal tools are operator-valued Herglotz functions and their logarithms. Applications to…
An uniqueness theorem for the inverse problem in the case of a second-order equation defined on the interval [0,1] when the boundary forms contain combinations of the values of functions at the points 0 and 1 is proved. The auxiliary…
The note contains the proof of the uniqueness theorem for the inverse problem in the case of $n$-th order differential equation.
Let H be the homogeneous space associated to the group PGL_3(R). Let X=\Gamma/H where \Gamma=SL_3(Z) and consider the first non-trivial eigenvalue \lambda_1 of the Laplacian on L^2(X). Using geometric considerations, we prove the inequality…
Scattering is defined on compact manifolds with boundary which are equipped with an asymptotically hyperbolic metric, $g.$ A model form is established for such metrics close to the boundary. It is shown that the scattering matrix at energy…
The spectral problem (A + V(z))\psi=z\psi is considered with A, a self-adjoint operator. The perturbation V(z) is assumed to depend on the spectral parameter z as resolvent of another self-adjoint operator A': V(z)=-B(A'-z)^{-1}B^{*}. It is…
We continue the study of the A-amplitude associated to a half-line Schrodinger operator, -d^2/dx^2+ q in L^2 ((0,b)), b <= infinity. A is related to the Weyl-Titchmarsh m-function via m(-\kappa^2) =-\kappa - \int_0^a A(\alpha)…
We prove sharp L^2 boundary decay estimates for the eigenfunctions of certain second order elliptic operators acting in a bounded region, and of their first order space derivatives, using only the Hardy inequality. We then deduce bounds on…
We review the literature concerning the Hardy inequality for regions in Euclidean space and in manifolds, concentrating on the best constants. We also give applications of these inequalities to boundary decay and spectral approximation.
We consider the boundary problem -y''(x)+q(x)y(x)=f(x), lim_{|x|\to\infty}y^{(i)}(x)=0, i=0,1, where f(x)\in L_p(R), p\in[1,\infty], 1\le q(x)\in L_1^{\loc}(R). For this boundary problem we obtain: 1) necessary and sufficient conditions for…
