Commutator relations are used to investigate the spectra of Schr\"odinger Hamiltonians, $H = -\Delta + V({x}),$ acting on functions of a smooth, compact $d$-dimensional manifold $M$ immersed in $\bbr^{\nu}, \nu \geq d+1$. Here $\Delta$…

Let $E$ be a complex Banach lattice and $T$ is an operator in the centrum $Z(E)=\{T: |T|\le \lambda I \mbox{ for some } \lambda\}$ of $E$. Then the essential norm $\|T\|_{e}$ of $T$ equals the essential spectral radius $r_{e}(T)$ of $T$. We…

The Laplace-de Rham operator acting on a one-form $a$: $\square a$, in $\mathbb{R}^{n+2}$ or $\mathbb{R}^{n+1}$ spaces is restricted to $n$-dimensional pseudo-spheres. This includes, in particular, the $n$-dimensional de Sitter and Anti-de…

We consider a surface M with constant curvature cusp ends and its Eisenstein functions E_j(\lambda). These are the plane waves associated to the j-th cusp and the spectral parameter \lambda, (\Delta - 1/4 - \lambda^2)E_j = 0. We prove that…
