Motivated by potential theory on discrete spaces, we study a family of unbounded Hermitian operators in Hilbert space which generalize the usual graph-theoretic discrete Laplacian. These operators are discrete analogues of the classical…

The Hausdorff dimension of spectral measure for the graph Laplacian is shown exactly in terms of an intermittency function. The intermittency function can be estimated by using one-dimensional discrete Schr\"{o}dinger operator method.

For some metric spaces of self-adjoint operators, it is shown that the set of operators whose spectral measures have simultaneously zero upper-Hausdorff and one lower-packing dimensions contains a dense $G_\delta$ subset. Applications…

An arbitrarily dense discretisation of the Bloch sphere of complex Hilbert states is constructed, where points correspond to bit strings of fixed finite length. Number-theoretic properties of trigonometric functions (not part of the…

Many novel and unique physical phenomena of incommensurate systems can be illustrated and predicted using the spectra of the associated Schr\"odinger operators. However, the absence of periodicity in these systems poses significant…

We show that the position operator for a class of $f$-deformed oscillators has a fractal spectrum, homeomorphic to the Cantor set, via a unitary transformation to Harper's model. The class corresponds to a choice of ergodic operators for…

For differential operators which are invariant under the action of an abelian group Bloch theory is the preferred tool to analyze spectral properties. By shedding some new non-commutative light on this we motivate the introduction of a…

We study different operator radii of homomorphisms from an operator algebra into $B(H)$ and show that these can be computed explicitly in terms of the usual norm. As an application, we show that if $\Omega$ is a $K$-spectral set for a…

In this paper we study the spectral analysis of Bochner-Kodaira Laplacians on an Abelian variety, complex projective space $\mathbb{P}^{n}$ and a Grassmannian with a holomorphic line bundle. By imitating the method of creation and…

A two-point algebra is a set of bounded analytic functions on the unit disk that agree at two distinct points $a,b \in \mathbb{D}$. This algebra serves as a multiplier algebra for the family of Hardy Hilbert spaces $H^2_t := \{ f\in H^2 :…

It is shown that for any irrational rotation number and any admissible gap labelling number the almost Mathieu operator (also known as Harper's operator) has a gap in its spectrum with that labelling number. This answers the strong version…
