An absolute continuity approach to quasinormality which relates the operator in question to the spectral measure of its modulus is developed. Algebraic characterizations of some classes of operators that emerged in this context are…
We prove and apply two theorems: First, a quantitative, scale-free unique continuation estimate for functions in a spectral subspace of a Schr\"odinger operator on a bounded or unbounded domain, second, a perturbation and lifting estimate…
We show that the spectrum of a discrete two-dimensional periodic Schr\"odinger operator on a square lattice with a sufficiently small potential is an interval, provided the period is odd in at least one dimension. In general, we show that…
We introduce a comprehensive framework for subordinacy theory applicable to long-range operators on $\ell^2(\mathbb Z)$, bridging dynamical systems and spectral analysis. For finite-range operators, we establish a correspondence between the…
Consider a two-dimensional domain shaped like a wire, not necessarily of uniform cross section. Let $V$ denote an electric potential driven by a voltage drop between the conducting surfaces of the wire. We consider the operator ${\mathcal…
We study relations between spectra of two operators that are connected to each other through some intertwining conditions. As application we obtain new results on the spectra of multiplication operators on $B(\cl H)$ relating it to the…
We discuss spectral properties of the one-dimensional Schr\"odinger operator with a potential of the form $\sum V(n)\delta(x-n)$. Our main result says that the absolutely continuous spectum of such an operator covers an interval…
We consider the self-adjoint third order operator with 1-periodic coefficients on the real line. The spectrum of the operator is absolutely continuous and covers the real line. We determine the high energy asymptotics of the periodic,…
We study spectral properties of second order elliptic operators with periodic coefficients in dimension two. These operators act in periodic simply-connected waveguides, with either Dirichlet, or Neumann, or the third boundary condition.…
We consider discrete one-dimensional Schr\"odinger operators with strictly ergodic, aperiodic potentials taking finitely many values. The well-known tendency of these operators to have purely singular continuous spectrum of zero Lebesgue…
We consider a family of one frequency discrete analytic quasi-periodic Schr\"odinger operators which appear in [Bjer]. We show that this family provides an example of coexistence of absolutely continuous and point spectrum for some…
The absolute continuity of the spectrum for the periodic Dirac operator $$ \hat D=\sum_{j=1}^n(-i\frac {\partial}{\partial x_j}-A_j)\hat \alpha_j + \hat V^{(0)}+\hat V^{(1)}, x\in R^n, n\geq 3, $$ is proved given that either $A\in…
We consider Schr\"odinger operators in $\ell^2(\mathbb{Z})$ whose potentials are given by the sum of an ergodic term and a random term of Anderson type. Under the assumption that the ergodic term is generated by a homeomorphism of a…
Almost commutative models provide a framework for Connes' work on the standard model of particle physics. These models are constructed as products of a the canonical spectral triple of a compact connected spin manifold with a finite…
In the paper we consider the Maxwell operator in a three-dimensional cylinder with coefficients periodic along the axis of a cylinder. It is proved that for cylinders with circular and rectangular cross-section the spectrum of the Maxwell…
We show that whole-line Schr\"odinger operators with finitely many bound states have no embedded singular spectrum. In contradistinction, we show that embedded singular spectrum is possible even when the bound states approach the essential…
We consider the Schroedinger operator L_{\alpha} on the half-line with a periodic background potential and the Wigner-von Neumann potential of Coulomb type: csin(2\omega x+d)/(x+1). It is known that the continuous spectrum of the operator…
Neat stuff about eigenfunctions, transfer matrices, and a.c. spectrum of one-dimensional Schrodinger operators
We prove that the size of the spectral gaps of weakly coupled quasi-periodic Schr\"odinger operators with Liouville frequencies decays exponentially. As an application, we obtain the homogeneity of the spectrum.
In this paper we develop the method of double operator integrals to prove trace formulae for functions of contractions, dissipative operators, unitary operators and self-adjoint operators. To establish the absolute continuity of spectral…
