We solve the following problem: to describe in geometric terms all differential operators of the second order with a given principal symbol. Initially the operators act on scalar functions. Operator pencils acting on densities of arbitrary…

The classical Rankin-Cohen brackets are bi-differential operators from $C^\infty(\mathbb R)\times C^\infty(\mathbb R)$ into $ C^\infty(\mathbb R)$. They are covariant for the (diagonal) action of ${\rm SL}(2,\mathbb R)$ through principal…

We construct discrete analogues of the Dixmier operators, that is, commuting difference operators corresponding to a spectral curve of genus 1 whose coefficients are polynomials of the discrete variable.

In this paper we introduce and explore the notion of rigidity group, associated with a collection of finitely many sequences, and show that this concept has many, somewhat surprising characterizations of algebraic, spectral, and unitary…

The rigidity theorem of Witten-Bott-Taubes-Hirzebruch tells us that, if the circle group acts on a closed almost complex (or more generally unitary) manifold whose first Chern class is divisible by a positive integer N greater than 1, then…

In this paper we study characters on special linear groups SL_n(R), where R is either an infinite field or the localization of an order in a number field. We give several applications to the theory of measure preserving actions,…

We study differential operators on an elliptic curve of order higher than 2 which are algebraically integrable (i.e., finite gap). We discuss classification of such operators of order 3 with one pole, discovering exotic operators on special…

Three types of rigidity theorem for orbifold elliptic genus of level N are proved. The first type deals with the case where N is relatively prime to the orders of all isotropy groups. If the top exterior power of the tangent bundle is…

In $L_2({\mathbb R}^d;{\mathbb C}^n)$, we study a selfadjoint strongly elliptic operator $A_\varepsilon$ of order $2p$ given by the expression $b({\mathbf D})^* g({\mathbf x}/\varepsilon) b({\mathbf D})$, $\varepsilon >0$. Here $g({\mathbf…

We consider two dimensional real-valued analytic potentials for the Schr\"odinger equation which are periodic over a lattice $L$. Under certain assumptions on the form of the potential and the lattice $L$, we can show there is a large class…

Let $p$ be an idempotent ultrafilter over $\mathbb{N}$. For a positive integer $N$, let ${\cal P}_{\leq N}$ denote the additive group of polynomials $P\in\mathbb{Z}[x]$ with ${\rm deg}\, P\leq N$ and $P(0)=0$. Given a unitary operator $U$…
