We study the spectrum of the semiclassical Witten Laplacian $\Delta_{f}$ associated to a smooth function $f$ on ${\mathbb R}^d$. We assume that $f$ is a confining Morse--Bott function. Under this assumption we show that $\Delta_{f}$ admits…
This paper concerns the concentration of Dirichlet eigenfunctions of the Laplacian on a compact two-dimensional Riemannian manifold with strictly geodesically concave boundary. We link three inequalities which bound the concentration in…
In this note we study the behaviour as $s\to 0^+$ of some semigroup based Besov seminorms associated with a non-symmetric and hypoelliptic diffusion with a drift. Our results generalise a previous one of Maz'ya and Shaposhnikova for the…
A class of singular integral operators, encompassing two physically relevant cases arising in perturbative QCD and in classical fluid dynamics, is presented and analyzed. It is shown that three special values of the parameters allow for an…

We establish the monotonicity of the principal eigenvalue $\lambda_1(A)$, as a function of the advection amplitude $A$, for the elliptic operator $L_{A}=-\mathrm{div}(a(x)\nabla)+A\mathbf{V}\cdot\nabla +c(x)$ with incompressible flow…
We consider a drift-diffusion process with a time-independent and divergence-free random drift that is of white-noise character. We are interested in the critical case of two space dimensions, where one has to impose a small-scale cut-off…
We consider Toeplitz operators associated with the renormalized Bochner-Laplacian on high tensor powers of a positive line bundle on a compact symplectic manifold. We study the asymptotic behavior, in the semiclassical limit, of low-lying…
The paper studies Dirichlet forms on the classical Wiener space and the Wiener space over non-compact complete Riemannian manifolds. The diffusion operator is almost everywhere an unbounded operator on the Cameron--Martin space. In…
For a large class of semiclassical pseudodifferential operators, including Schr\"odinger operators, $ P (h) = -h^2 \Delta_g + V (x) $, on compact Riemannian manifolds, we give logarithmic lower bounds on the mass of eigenfunctions outside…
For a class of non-selfadjoint semiclassical pseudodifferential operators with double characteristics, we study bounds for resolvents and estimates for low lying eigenvalues. Specifically, assuming that the quadratic approximations of the…
We study the asymptotic behavior, in a ``semi-classical limit'', of the first eigenvalues (i.e. the groundstate energies) of a class of Schr\"{o}dinger operators with magnetic fields and the relationship of this behavior with compactness in…
We prove an approximate spectral theorem for non-self-adjoint operators and investigate its applications to second order differential operators in the semi-classical limit. This leads to the construction of a twisted FBI transform. We also…
Diffusion of electrons in two-dimensional disordered systems with spin-orbit interactions is investigated numerically. Asymptotic behaviors of the second moment of the wave packet and of the temporal auto-correlation function are examined.…
Spatial scale separation often leads to sharp interfaces that can be fully localized pulses or transition layer fronts connecting different states. This paper concerns the asymptotic interaction laws of pulses and fronts in the so-called…
