We give a new upper bound on the Selberg zeta function for a convex co-compact Schottky group acting on $ {\mathbb H}^{n+1}$: in strips parallel to the imaginary axis the zeta function is bounded by $ \exp (C |s|^\delta) $ where $ \delta $…

In this paper spectral theorems for not necessarily continuous normal and self-adjoint random operators on a complex separable Hilbert space are proved.

A finite volume symplectic manifold is said to have "packing stability" if the only obstruction to symplectically embedding sufficiently small balls is the volume obstruction. Packing stability has been shown in a variety of cases and it…

Let $T$ be a $C_0$--contraction on a separable Hilbert space. We assume that $I_H-T^*T$ is compact. For a function $f$ holomorphic in the unit disk $\DD$ and continuous on $\bar\DD$, we show that $f(T)$ is compact if and only if $f$…

We show that any bounded analytic semigroup on $L^p$ (with $1<p<\infty$) whose negative generator admits a bounded $H^{\infty}$ functional calculus with respect to some angle $< \pi/2$ can be dilated into a bounded analytic semigroup…

Graded skew-commutative rings occur often in practice. Here are two examples: 1) The cohomology ring of a compact three-dimensional manifold. 2) The cohomology ring of the complement of a hyperplane arrangement (the Orlik-Solomon algebra).…

We study the interaction between unitary $\rho$-dilations of a pair of Hilbert space operators and Birkhoff-James orthogonality. We prove that for two orthogonal operators $T,A$ if $\|T\|=\rho$, then $U_T \perp_B U_A$ for any unitary…

An operator C on a Hilbert space H dilates to an operator T on a Hilbert space K if there is an isometry V from H to K such that C=V^*TV. A main result of this paper is, for a positive integer d, the simultaneous dilation, up to a sharp…

We reexamine the proofs of isospectrality of the counterexample domains to Kac' question `Can one hear the shape of a drum?' from an analytical viewpoint. We reformulate isospectrality in a more abstract setting as the existence of a…

We study a restriction of the Hilbert transform as an operator $H_T$ from $L^2(a_2,a_4)$ to $L^2(a_1,a_3)$ for real numbers $a_1 < a_2 < a_3 < a_4$. The operator $H_T$ arises in tomographic reconstruction from limited data, more precisely…

In the paper the general case of a normal discrete Hausdorff operators in $L^2(\mathbb{R}^d)$ is considered. The main result states that under some natural arithmetic condition the spectrum of such an operator is rotationally invariant.…

We prove that, under some generic non-degeneracy assumptions, real analytic, centrally symmetric plane domains are determined by their Dirichlet (resp. Neumann) spectra. We prove that the conditions are open-dense for real analytic convex…

It is shown that a transformation in the special orthogonal group SO(V) of a nondefective quadratic space over a field K is bireflectional (product of 2 involutions) if and only if it is reversible (conjugate to its inverse). Furthermore,…

We show exactly that standard `invariants' advocated to define topology for non-interacting systems deviate strongly from the Hall conductance whenever the excitation spectrum contains zeros of the single-particle Green function, $G$, as in…

Rubin's generalized Minkowski--Funk transforms $M_t^\alpha$ on the sphere $\mathbb{S}^n$ give rise, for irrational radii $t=\cos(\beta\pi)$, to a small denominator problem governed by the asymptotic behavior of their spectral multipliers.…

For a scalar evolution equation $u_t=K(t,x,u,u_x,\ldots, u_n), n\geq 2$ the cohomology spaces $H^{1,s}({\mathcal R}^\infty)$ vanishes for $s\geq 3$ while the space $H^{1,2}({\mathcal R}^\infty)$ is isomorphic to the space of variational…

Let $(M_i, g_i)_{i \in \mathbb{N}}$ be a sequence of spin manifolds with uniform bounded curvature and diameter that converges to a lower dimensional Riemannian manifold $(B,h)$ in the Gromov-Hausdorff topology. Lott showed that the…

We consider a second order self-adjoint operator in a domain which can be bounded or unbounded. The boundary is partitioned into two parts with Dirichlet boundary condition on one of them, and Neumann condition on the other. We assume that…

We give an explicit formula for the correspondence between simple Yetter-Drinfeld modules for certain finite-dimensional pointed Hopf algebras $H$ and those for cocycle twists $H^{\sigma}$ of $H$. This implies an equivalence between modules…

We provide some evidence that closed string coordinates will become non-commutative turning on H-field flux background in closed string compactifications. This is in analogy to open string non-commutativity on the world volume of D-branes…
