We use spectral flow to present a new proof of Levinson's theorem for Schr\"{o}dinger operators on $\mathbb{R}^n$ with smooth compactly supported potential. Our proof is valid in all dimensions and in the presence of resonances. The…

The orbit closure of any translation surface under the horocycle flow in almost any direction equals its $SL_2(\mathbb{R})$ orbit closure. This result gives rise to new characterizations of lattice surfaces in terms of the hororcycle flow.

We prove a dichotomy regarding the behavior of one-parameter unipotent flows on quotients of semisimple lie groups under time change. We show that if $u^{(1)}_t$ acting on $G_{1}/\Gamma_1$ is such a flow it satisfies exactly one of the…
