Spectral Theory

Using methods in the spirit of deterministic homogenisation theory we obtain convergence of the Steklov eigenvalues of a sequence of domains in a Riemannian manifold to weighted Laplace eigenvalues of that manifold. The domains are obtained…

We consider Gaussian random monochromatic waves $u$ on the plane depending on a real parameter $s$ that is directly related to the regularity of its Fourier transform. Specifically, the Fourier transform of $u$ is $f\,d\sigma$, where…

In the presence of the homogeneous electric field ${\bf E}$ and the homogeneous perpendicular magnetic field ${\bf B}$, the classical trajectory of a quantum particle on ${\mathbb R}^2$ moves with drift velocity $\alpha$ which is…

We develop a Hilbert-space approach to the diffusion process of the Brownian motion in a bounded domain with random jumps from the boundary introduced by Ben-Ari and Pinsky in 2007. The generator of the process is introduced by a diffusion…

In this note the two dimensional Dirac operator $A_\eta$ with an electrostatic $\delta$-shell interaction of strength $\eta\in\mathbb R$ supported on a straight line is studied. We observe a spectral transition in the sense that for the…

Bounds are obtained for the efficiency or mean to peak ratio $E(\Omega)$ for the first Dirichlet eigenfunction (positive) for open, connected sets $\Omega$ with finite measure in Euclidean space $\R^m$. It is shown that (i) localisation…

The concept of Randic index has been extended recently for a digraph. We prove that $2R(G)\leq \mathcal{E}(G)\leq 2\sqrt{\Delta(G)} R(G)$, where $G$ is a digraph, and $R(G)$ denotes the Randic index, $\mathcal{E}(G)$ denotes the Nikiforov…

We consider quasiperiodic operators on $\mathbb Z^d$ with unbounded monotone sampling functions ("Maryland-type"), which are not required to be strictly monotone and are allowed to have flat segments. Under several geometric conditions on…

In recent years, there appeared a considerable interest in the inverse spectral theory for functional-differential operators with constant delay. In particular, it is well known that specification of the spectra of two operators $\ell_j,$…

We prove that among all doubly connected domains of R^n (n>=2) bounded by two spheres of given radii, the Dirichlet heat content at any fixed time achieves its minimum when the spheres are concentric. This is shown to be a special case of a…

We develop a general theory of random walks on hypergraphs which includes, as special cases, the different models that are found in literature. In particular, we introduce and analyze general random walk Laplacians for hypergraphs, and we…

We provide complementary semiclassical bounds for the Riesz means $R_1(z)$ of the eigenvalues of various biharmonic operators, with a second term in the expected power of $z$. The method we discuss makes use of the averaged variational…

This short note presents upper bounds of the expectations of the largest singular values/eigenvalues of various types of random tensors in the non-asymptotic sense. For a standard Gaussian tensor of size $n_1\times\cdots\times n_d$, it is…

We provide upper bounds on the perturbation of invariant subspaces of normal matrices measured using a metric on the space of vector subspaces of $\mathbb{C}^n$ in terms of the spectrum of both the unperturbed \& perturbed matrices, as well…

We give a simple proof of the Weyl asymptotic formula for eigenvalues of the Dirichlet Laplacian, the buckling problem, and the Dirichlet bi-Laplacian in Euclidean domains of finite volume, with no assumptions about the boundary.

The relation between the spectra of operator pencils with unbounded coefficients and of associated linear relations is investigated. It turns out that various types of spectrum coincide and the same is true for the Weyr characteristics.…

We summarize recent results initiating spectral analysis on pseudo-Riemannian locally symmetric spaces $\Gamma \backslash G/H$, beyond the classical setting where $H$ is compact (e.g. theory of automorphic forms for arithmetic $\Gamma$) or…

The paper deals with singular Schr\"odinger operators of the form \begin{gather*} -{\mathrm{d}^2\over \mathrm{d} x^2 } + \sum_{k\in\mathbb{Z} }\gamma_k \delta(\cdot-z_k),\quad \gamma_k\in\mathbb{R}, \end{gather*} in…

Using a unified approach employing a homogeneous Lippmann-Schwinger-type equation satisfied by resonance functions and basic facts on Riesz potentials, we discuss the absence of threshold resonances for Dirac and Schrodinger operators with…

Let $X=\Lambda\backslash\mathbb{H}$ be a Schottky surface, that is, a conformally compact hyperbolic surface of infinite area. Let $\delta$ denote the Hausdorff dimension of the limit set of $\Lambda$. We prove that for any compact subset…
