In the paper we consider self-adjoint partial integral operators of Fredholm type $T$ with a degenerate kernel on the space $L_2([a,b]\times[c,d]).$ Essential and discrete spectra of $T$ are described.

In this paper we show that quasisimilar $n$-tuples of tensor products of $m$-isometric operators have the same spectra, essential spectra and indices. The properties of single Fredholm operators possess \cite{4} is related to an important…

Let $A$ be a linear bounded operator in a Hilbert space $H$, $N(A)$ and $R(A)$ its null-space and range, and $A^*$ its adjoint. The operator $A$ is called Fredholm iff $dim N(A)= dim N(A^*):=n<\infty$ and $R(A)$ and $R(A^*)$ are closed…

Let $\Gamma$ be a compact group acting on a smooth, compact manifold $M$, let $P \in \psi^m(M; E_0, E_1)$ be a $\Gamma$-invariant, classical pseudodifferential operator acting between sections of two equivariant vector bundles $E_i \to M$,…

We study the spectral functional tr f(D+A) for a suitable function f, a self-adjoint operator D having compact resolvent, and a certain class of bounded self-adjoint operators A. Such functionals were introduce by Chamseddine and Connes in…

The diffusion operator $$ H_D=-\frac12\frac d{dx}a\frac d{dx}-b\frac d{dx}=-\frac12\exp(-2B)\frac d{dx}a\exp(2B)\frac d{dx}, $$ where $B(x)=\int_0^x\frac ba(y)dy$, defined either on $R^+=(0,\infty)$ with the Dirichlet boundary condition at…

Burgos, Kaidi, Mbekhta and Oudghiri provided an affirmative answer to a question of Kaashoek and Lay and proved that an operator $F$ is power finite rank if and only if $\sigma_{dsc}(T+F) =\sigma_{dsc}(T)$ for every operator $T$ commuting…

We consider Dirichlet-to-Neumann maps associated with (not necessarily self-adjoint) Schrodinger operators in $L^2(\Omega; d^n x)$, $n=2,3$, where $\Omega$ is an open set with a compact, nonempty boundary satisfying certain regularity…

Spectral flow was first studied by Atiyah and Lusztig, and first appeared in print in the work of Atiyah-Patodi-Singer (APS). For a norm-continuous path of self-adjoint Fredholm operators in the multiplier algebra $\mathcal{M}(\mathcal{B})$…

In a previous paper we introduced the unitary conjugation groupoid associated to any unital separable Type I C*-algebra. This groupoid encodes the representation-theoretic structure of the algebra through the action of its unitary group on…

We establish a necessary and sufficient criterion for the Fredholmness of a general locally compact band-dominated operator $A$ on $L^p(R)$ and solve the long-standing problem of computing its Fredholm index in terms of the limit operators…

We introduce the concept of a spectral shift operator and use it to derive Krein's spectral shift function for pairs of self-adjoint operators. Our principal tools are operator-valued Herglotz functions and their logarithms. Applications to…

The principal aim in this paper is to develop an effective and unified approach to the computation of traces of resolvents (and resolvent differences), Fredholm determinants, $\zeta$-functions, and $\zeta$-function regularized determinants…

Let $\mathcal{A}_0$ and $\mathcal{A}_1$ be two self-adjoint Fredholm Dirac-type operators defined on two non-compact manifolds. If they coincide at infinity so that the relative heat operator is trace-class, one can define their relative…

In recent years, higher-order trace formulas of operator functions have attracted considerable attention to a large part of the perturbation theory community. In this direction, we prove estimates for traces of higher-order derivatives of…

We revisit the computation of (2-modified) Fredholm determinants for operators with matrix-valued semi-separable integral kernels. The latter occur, for instance, in the form of Green's functions associated with closed ordinary differential…

We study discrete Schroedinger operators with compactly supported potentials on the square lattice. Constructing spectral representations and representing S-matrices by the generalized eigenfunctions, we show that the potential is uniquely…

We prove that if T is an operator on an infinite-dimensional Hilbert space whose spectrum and essential spectrum are both connected and whose Fredholm index is only 0 or 1, then the only nontrivial norm-stable invariant subspaces of T are…
