Spectral Theory

We prove absolute continuity of the integrated density of states for frequency-independent analytic perturbations of the non-critical almost Mathieu operator under arithmetic conditions on frequency.

We analyze the heat kernel associated to the Laplacian on a compact metric graph, with standard Kirchoff-Neumann vertex conditions. An explicit formula for the heat kernel as a sum over loops, developed by Roth and Kostrykin, Potthoff, and…

In this article, a comprehensive study is made on the continuity, compactness, and spectrum of the lower triangular terraced matrix, introduced by H. C. Rhaly, Jr. [Houston J. Math. 15(1): 137-146, 1989], acting on the weighted null…

We establish the absolute continuity of the integrated density of states (IDS) for quasi-periodic Schr\"odinger operators with a large trigonometric potential and Diophantine frequency. This partially solves Eliasson's open problem in 2002.…

We consider the eigenvalues of the magnetic Laplacian on a bounded domain $\Omega$ of $\mathbb R^2$ with uniform magnetic field $\beta>0$ and magnetic Neumann boundary conditions. We find upper and lower bounds for the ground state energy…

We obtain asymptotic formulas for the spectral data of perturbed Stark operators associated with the differential expression \[ -\frac{d^2}{dx^2} + x + q(x), \quad x\in [0,\infty), \quad q\in L^1(0,\infty), \] and having either Dirichlet or…

We introduce a theorem currently proved unique by the asymptotic behaviors of eigenvalues of a compact operator. Specifically, a problem of partitions is considered and the Neumann--Poincar\'e operator is employed as the compact linear…

We consider the space-fractional operator with order $0<\alpha<1$ on the metric star graph. The boundary conditions at the vertices of the metric star graph providing the self-adjointness of the operator are derived. The obtained result is…

Given a geometrically finite hyperbolic surface of infinite volume it is a classical result of Patterson that the positive Laplace-Beltrami operator has no $L^2$-eigenvalues $\geq 1/4$. In this article we prove a generalization of this…

We suggest a new formulation of the inverse spectral problem for second-order functional-differential operators on star-shaped graphs with global delay. The latter means that the delay, being measured in the direction to a specific boundary…

Harmonic and polyanalytic functional calculi have been recently defined for bounded commuting operators. Their definitions are based on the Cauchy formula of slice hyperholomorphic functions and on the factorization of the Laplace operator…

Previously, the existence of ground state solutions of a family of systems of Klein-Gordon equations has been widely studied. In this article, we will study the linearized operator at the ground state and give a complete description of the…

Let $X=X_1\times X_2$ be a product of two rank one symmetric spaces of non-compact type and $\Gamma$ a torsion-free discrete subgroup in $G_1\times G_2$. We show that the spectrum of $\Gamma \backslash X$ is related to the asymptotic growth…

Let $\Gamma$ be a Schottky subgroup of $\mathrm{SL} (2,\mathbb{Z})$. We establish a uniform and explicit lower bound of the second eigenvalue of the Laplace-Beltrami operator of congruence coverings of the hyperbolic surface $\Gamma…

We use the Maslov index to study the spectrum of a class of linear Hamiltonian differential operators. We provide a lower bound on the number of positive real eigenvalues, which includes a contribution to the Maslov index from a non-regular…

Flat tori are among the only types of Riemannian manifolds for which the Laplace eigenvalues can be explicitly computed. In 1964, Milnor used a construction of Witt to find an example of isospectral non-isometric Riemannian manifolds, a…

The paper is concerned with the completeness property of root functions of the Dirac operator with summable complexvalued potential and non-regular boundary conditions. We also obtain explicit form for the fundamental solution system of the…

We derive several upper bounds on the spectral gap of the Laplacian with standard or Dirichlet vertex conditions on compact metric graphs. In particular, we obtain estimates based on the length of a shortest cycle (girth), diameter, total…

We make a spectral analysis of discrete Schroedinger operators on the half-line, subject to complex Robin-type boundary couplings and complex-valued potentials. First, optimal spectral enclosures are obtained for summable potentials.…

We make a spectral analysis of the massive Dirac operator in a tubular neighborhood of an unbounded planar curve,subject to infinite mass boundary conditions. Under general assumptions on the curvature, we locate the essential spectrum and…
