Spectral Theory
It is well known that the spectrum of the Dirichlet Laplacian for a two-dimensional waveguide, which is a local deformation of a straight strip, is unstable with respect to waveguide boundary deformations. This means that, when the…
We study spectral properties of Schr\"odinger operators associated with substitution dynamical systems in higher dimensions. Focusing on periodic approximations generated by iterating substitutions on initial configurations, we analyze how…
The study of the Dirichlet-to-Neumann map and the associated Steklov problem for the Laplace equation has been a central topic in spectral geometry over the past decade. In this survey, we consider a more general framework in which the…
We establish two universal inequalities for Dirichlet eigenvalues of the Laplacian on a Euclidean convex domain.
We study asymptotic shape optimization for Riesz means of Robin Laplacian eigenvalues among cuboids of fixed measure. Our focus is the regime where the Robin parameter is proportional to the square root of the spectral parameter defining…
We use the theory of entire functions of finite order to prove a universal spectral dependence of the blowup/decay rate of solutions of the Sturm-Liouville eigenvalue equation for problems with Schatten $p$-class resolvents. The general…
We study the direct and inverse spectral theory for a class of finite Hermitian banded matrices. Using the theory of matrix orthogonal polynomials, we provide an explicit procedure for reconstructing a banded matrix from a matrix-valued…
In this article, we prove that typical hyperbolic surfaces, sampled with the Weil-Petersson probability measure, have a spectral gap at least $2/9 - \epsilon$. This is an intermediate result on the way to our proof of the optimal spectral…
For the weighted Dirac eigenvalue problem, we show that the two-sided weighted spectrum depends continuously on the weight under continuous deformations within a uniformly elliptic class. Moreover, for differentiable families of weights we…
The paper defines a positive semidefinite operator called $\epsilon-$repelling Laplacian on a positive connected signed graph where $\epsilon$ is an arbitrary positive number less than a constant $\epsilon_0$ related to the graph's…
In this paper, we show that the ground-state of many-body Schr\"odinger operators for electrons in one dimension is non-degenerate. More precisely, we consider Schr\"odinger operators of the form $H_N(v,w) = -\Delta + \sum_{i\neq j}^N…
This paper formulates the finite and full-scale localization for multi-frequency quasi-periodic CMV matrices. This can be viewed as the CMV counterpart to the localization results by Goldstein, Schlag, and Voda [arXiv:1610.00380 (math.SP],…
We consider the (symmetric) Pascal matrix, in its finite and infinite versions, and prove the existence of symmetric tridiagonal matrices commuting with it by giving explicit expressions for these commuting matrices. This is achieved by…
We study the spectral behavior as the sample size $n \to +\infty$ of integral operators defined by convolution of a non-negative symmetric kernel k with respect to empirical measures $\mu_n = \frac{1}{n} \sum_{i=1}^n \delta_{X_i}$, where…
We provide a precise description of the bottom of the spectrum in the semiclassical limit of a harmonic-type Schr\"odinger operator with an inverse square potential. By exploiting the connection between the eigenfunctions of these operators…
We study Schr\"odinger operators on metric and discrete decorated graphs. The values taken by the integrated density of states (IDS) on spectral gaps are called gap labels. A natural question is which gap labels can occur. We answer this…
We classify $n\times n$-matrix-valued continuous commutativity and spectrum preservers defined on spaces of (a) normal, (b) semisimple and (c) arbitrary $n\times n$ matrices with spectra contained in sufficiently connected subsets…
We study the eigenvalue profile of concentration operators (multiplication by an indicator function followed by projection) acting on reproducing kernel Hilbert spaces. The spectral profile of such operators provides a useful notion of…
A Toda flow is constructed starting from a certain class of unbounded initial conditions including sequences growing with power order of less than 1. Unbounded ergodic sequences are allowed, and especially \b{eta}-ensembles matrix models in…
We prove that the set of parameters for which a virtual level appears at the edge of the continuous spectrum of a Jacobi matrix with a finite-rank diagonal perturbation constitutes an algebraic variety of codimension one. This variety…
