We study the spectrum of unbounded J-self-adjoint block operator matrices. In particular, we prove enclosures for the spectrum, provide a sufficient condition for the spectrum being real and derive variational principles for certain real…
We describe a class of real Banach manifolds, which classify $K^{-1}$. These manifolds are Grassmannians of (hermitian) lagrangian subspaces in a complex Hilbert space. Certain finite codimensional real subvarieties described by incidence…
We give a characterisation of the spectral properties of linear differential operators with constant coefficients, acting on functions defined on a bounded interval, and determined by general linear boundary conditions. The boundary…
We prove bounds for multilinear operators on $\R^d$ given by multipliers which are singular along a $k$ dimensional subspace. The new case of interest is when the rank $k/d$ is not an integer. Connections with the concept of {\em true…
We characterize possible spectra of rank-one perturbations B of a self-adjoint operator A with discrete spectrum and, in particular, prove that the spectrum of B may include any number of real or non-real eigenvalues of arbitrary algebraic…
We consider selfadjoint operators obtained by pasting a finite number of boundary relations with one-dimensional boundary space. A typical example of such an operator is the Schr\"odinger operator on a star-graph with a finite number of…
Criteria are formulated both for the existence and for the non-existence of complex eigenvalues for a class of non self-adjoint operators in Hilbert space invarariant under a particular discrete symmetry. Applications to the PT-symmetric…
This dissertation focuses on developing a new construction of a functional calculus using Henstock-Kurzweil integration methods. The assignment of a functional calculus will be applied to self-adjoint operators. We will address both the…
For a pointwise multiplier $\varphi$ of the Hardy-Sobolev space $H^2_\beta$ on the open unit ball $\bn$ in $\cn$, we study spectral properties of the multiplication operator $M_\varphi: H^2_\beta\to H^2_\beta$. In particular, we compute the…
We define a class of pseudo-ergodic non-self-adjoint Schr\"odinger operators acting in spaces $l^2(X)$ and prove some general theorems about their spectral properties. We then apply these to study the spectrum of a non-self-adjoint Anderson…
We review previous work on spectral flow in connection with certain self-adjoint model operators $\{A(t)\}_{t\in \mathbb{R}}$ on a Hilbert space $\mathcal{H}$, joining endpoints $A_\pm$, and the index of the operator $D_{A}^{}= (d/d t) + A$…
We study the gap (= "projection norm" = "graph distance") topology of the space of (not necessarily bounded) self--adjoint Fredholm operators in a separable Hilbert space by the Cayley transform and direct methods. In particular, we show…
The $J$-matrix method is extended to difference and $q$-difference operators and is applied to several explicit differential, difference, $q$-difference and second order Askey-Wilson type operators. The spectrum and the spectral measures…
In the first part of this manuscript a relationship between the spectrum of self-adjoint operator matrices and the spectra of their diagonal entries is found. This leads to enclosures for spectral points and in particular, enclosures for…
This paper is a continuation of the paper (A.G.Ramm, Amer. Math. Monthly, 108, N 9, (2001), 855-860), where bounded Fredholm operators are studied. The theory of bounded linear Fredholm-type operators is presented in many texts. This paper…
Spectral theory and functional calculus for unbounded self-adjoint operators on a Hilbert space are usually treated through von Neumann's Cayley transform. Based on ideas of Woronowicz, we redevelop this theory from the point of view of…
An odd Fredholm module for a given invertible operator on a Hilbert space is specified by an unbounded so-called Dirac operator with compact resolvent and bounded commutator with the given invertible. Associated to this is an index pairing…
We give general spectral and eigenvalue perturbation bounds for a selfadjoint operator perturbed in the sense of the pseudo-Friedrichs extension. We also give several generalisations of the aforementioned extension. The spectral bounds for…
Given an essentially unitary contraction and an arbitrary unitary dilation of it, there is a naturally associated spectral flow which is shown to be equal to the index of the operator. This purely operator theoretic result is interpreted in…
We study the spectral theory of operators, generated as direct sums of self-adjoint extensions of quasi-differential minimal operators on a multi-interval set (self-adjoint vector-operators), acting in a Hilbert space. Spectral theorems for…
