Let $L= -\Delta+ V$ be a Schr\"odinger operator on $\mathbb R^d$, $d\geq 3$, where $V$ is a nonnegative potential, $V\ne 0$, and belongs to the reverse H\"older class $RH_{d/2}$. In this paper, we study the commutators $[b,T]$ for $T$ in a…

A self-adjoint operator $A$ in a Krein space $\bigl({\mathcal K},[\,\cdot\,,\cdot\,]\bigr)$ is called partially fundamentally reducible if there exist a fundamental decomposition ${\mathcal K} = {\mathcal K}_+ [\dot{+}] {\mathcal K}_-$…

We prove a modified form of the classical Morrey-Kohn-H\"ormander identity, adapted to pseudoconcave boundaries. Applying this result to an annulus between two bounded pseudoconvex domains in $\mathbb{C}^n$, where the inner domain has…

We present certain Liouville properties of eigenfunctions of second-order elliptic operators with real coefficients, via an approach that is based on stochastic representations of positive solutions, and criticality theory of second-order…

When ${\cal{D}}$ is a linear partial differential operator of any order, a direct problem is to look for an operator ${\cal{D}}_1$ generating the compatibility conditions (CC) ${\cal{D}}_1\eta=0$ of ${\cal{D}}\xi=\eta$. We may thus…

In this article, we study, as the coefficient $s\to\infty$, the asymptotic behavior of the principal eigenvalue of $$-\varphi''(x)-2sm'(x)\varphi'(x)+c(x)\varphi(x)=\lambda_s\varphi(x),\ \ 0<x<1,$$ supplemented by different boundary…

We study the spectra of non-selfadjoint first-order operators on the interval with non-local point interactions, formally given by ${i\partial_x+V+k\langle \delta,\cdot\rangle}$. We give precise estimates on the location of the eigenvalues…

Let $ X = G/K $ be a rank one Riemannian symmetric space of noncompact type. In view of the Iwasawa decomposition $ G = NAK $ of the underlying semisimple Lie group, we can also view $ X $ as the solvable extension $ S = NA $ of the Iwasawa…

We introduce the notion of $K$-invariant operators, $S$, (in a Hilbert space) with respect to a bounded and boundedly invertible operator $K$ defined via $K^*SK=S$. Conditions such that self-adjoint and maximally dissipative extensions of…

The main aim of this article is to establish an $L_p$-theory for elliptic operators on manifolds with singularities. The particular class of differential operators discussed herein may exhibit degenerate or singular behavior near the…

We consider the two-dimensional Dirac operator with Lorentz-scalar $\delta$-shell interactions on each edge of a star-graph. An orthogonal decomposition is performed which shows such an operator is unitarily equivalent to an orthogonal sum…

We consider symmetry operators a from the group ring C[S_N] which act on the Hilbert space H of the 1D spin-1/2 Heisenberg magnetic ring with N sites. We investigate such symmetry operators a which are self-adjoint (in a sence defined in…

In $L_2({\mathbb R}^3;{\mathbb C}^3)$, we consider a selfadjoint operator ${\mathcal L}_\varepsilon$, $\varepsilon >0$, given by the differential expression $\mu_0^{-1/2}\operatorname{curl} \eta(\mathbf{x}/\varepsilon)^{-1}…

Let $H$ be a real Hilbert space and $\Phi:H\to H$ be a $C^1$ operator with Lipschitzian derivative and closed range. We prove that $\Phi^{-1}(0)\neq \emptyset$ if and only if, for each $\epsilon>0$, there exist a convex set $X\subset H$ and…

Let $L$ be a positive self-adjoint operator on $L^2(X)$, where $X$ is a $\sigma$-finite metric measure space. When $\alpha \in (0,1)$, the subordinated semigroup $\{\exp(-tL^{\alpha}):t \in \mathbb{R}^+\}$ can be defined on $L^2(X)$ and…
