Given a complex, separable Hilbert space $\cH$, we consider differential expressions of the type $\tau = - (d^2/dx^2) + V(x)$, with $x \in (a,\infty)$ or $x \in \bbR$. Here $V$ denotes a bounded operator-valued potential $V(\cdot) \in…

We define a second-order differential operator $\hat{C}$ on the Hilbert space $L^2([-v_c, v_c])$, constructed from a smooth deformation function $C(v)$. The operator is considered on the Sobolev domain $H^2([-v_c, v_c]) \cap H^1_0([-v_c,…

We elaborate and make rigorous various speculations about the implications of spectral properties of self-adjoint operators on spaces of automorphic forms for location of zeros of $L$-functions. Some of these ideas arose in work of Colin de…

The spectrum of a selfadjoint second order elliptic differential operator in $L^2(\mathbb{R}^n)$ is described in terms of the limiting behavior of Dirichlet-to-Neumann maps, which arise in a multi-dimensional Glazman decomposition and…

We improve known perturbation results for self-adjoint operators in Hilbert spaces and prove spectral enclosures for diagonally dominant $J$-self-adjoint operator matrices. These are used in the proof of the central result, a perturbation…

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…

Given a densely defined and gapped symmetric operator with infinite deficiency index, it is shown how self-adjoint extensions admitting arbitrarily prescribed portions of the gap as essential spectrum are identified and constructed within a…

In this note we investigate complete non-selfadjointness for all maximally dissipative extensions of a Schr\"odinger operator on a half-line with dissipative bounded potential and dissipative boundary condition. We show that all maximally…

We describe all extensions of the Calogero Hamiltonian \[L=-\frac{d^2}{dr^2}+\frac{b}{r^2} \quad \text{in}\ L^2(\mathbb{R}_+), \quad b <-\frac{1}{4}\] having non empty resolvent and generating an analytic semigroup in $L^2(\mathbb{R}_+)$.

We prove a new criterion for the essential self-adjointness of pseudodifferential operators that does not involve ellipticity-type assumptions. For example, we show that self-adjointness holds in case the symbol is $C^{2d+3}$ with…

We study the self-adjoint extensions of the Hamiltonian operator with symmetric potentials which go to $-\infty$ faster than $-|x|^{2p}$ with $p>1$ as $x\to\pm\infty$. In this extension procedure, one requires the Wronskian between any…
