In this paper, we study the spectrality of the non-self-adjoint Dirac operator L(Q) with a complex-valued periodic matrix potential Q. We establish a condition on the off-diagonal elements of the matrix Q under which L(Q) is an…

We study the spectrum of operators $aT\in B(H)$ on a Hilbert space $H$ where $T$ is an isometry and $a$ belongs to a commutative $C^*$-subalgebra $C(X)\cong A\subseteq B(H)$ such that the formula $L(a)=T^*aT$ defines a faithful transfer…

We obtain a simple formula for the multiplicity of eigenvalues of the Hodge-Laplace operator, $\Delta_f$, acting on sections of the full exterior bundle over an arbitrary compact flat Riemannian n-manifold M with holonomy group Z_2^k, with…

In this work, we investigate the spectral problem $Au = {\lambda}u$ where $A$ is a fractional elliptic operator involving left- and right-sided Riemann-Liouville derivatives. These operators are nonlocal and nonsymmetric, however, share…

We extend the method of layer potentials to manifolds with boundary and cylindrical ends. To obtain this extension along the classical lines, we have to deal with several technical difficulties due to the non-compactness of the boundary,…

We study several classes of non-Hermitian Hamiltonian systems, which can be expressed in terms of bilinear combinations of Euclidean Lie algebraic generators. The classes are distinguished by different versions of antilinear (PT)-symmetries…

We consider a polyharmonic operator $H=(-\Delta)^l+V(\x)$ in dimension two with $l\geq 2$, $l$ being an integer, and a quasi-periodic potential $V(\x)$. We prove that the spectrum of $H$ contains a semiaxis and there is a family of…

The purpose of this paper is to study the eigenvalues $\{\lambda_{\mu,i} \}_i$ for the Dirichlet Hardy-Leray operator, i.e. $$ -\Delta u+\mu|x|^{-2}u=\lambda u\ \ {\rm in}\ \, \Omega,\quad\quad u=0\ \ {\rm on}\ \ \partial\Omega,$$ where…

We consider a second order self-adjoint operator in a domain which can be bounded or unbounded. The boundary is partitioned into two parts with Dirichlet boundary condition on one of them, and Neumann condition on the other. We assume that…

In this paper, we obtain a new abstract formula relating eigenvalues of a self-adjoint operator to two families of symmetric and skew-symmetric operators and their commutators. This formula generalizes earlier ones obtained by Harrell,…

The Heun equation can be rewritten as an eigenvalue equation for an ordinary differential operator of the form $-d^2/dx^2+V(g;x)$, where the potential is an elliptic function depending on a coupling vector $g\in{\mathbb R}^4$.…

The Hill operator admits a band gap structure. As a special case, like the Mathieu operator, one has only open gaps, however, the instability intervals of the Whittaker-Hill operator may be open or closed. In 2007, P. Djakov and B. Mityagin…

Let $X,Y$ be normal bounded operators on a Hilbert space such that $e^X=e^Y$. If the spectra of $X$ and $Y$ are contained in the strip $\s$ of the complex plane defined by $|\Im(z)|\leq \pi$, we show that $|X|=|Y|$. If $Y$ is only assumed…

For any multi-graph $G$ with edge weights and vertex potential, and its universal covering tree $\mathcal{T}$, we completely characterize the point spectrum of operators $A_{\mathcal{T}}$ on $\mathcal{T}$ arising as pull-backs of local,…

The spectrum of the singular indefinite Sturm-Liouville operator $$A=\text{\rm sgn}(\cdot)\bigl(-\tfrac{d^2}{dx^2}+q\bigr)$$ with a real potential $q\in L^1(\mathbb R)$ covers the whole real line and, in addition, non-real eigenvalues may…

In this article we obtain asymptotic formulas for eigenvalues and eigenfunctions of the operator generated by a system of ordinary differential equations with summable coefficients and quasiperiodic boundary conditions. Then using these…

We discuss supersymmetric quantum mechanical models with periodic potentials. The important new feature is that it is possible for both isospectral potentials to support zero modes, in contrast to the standard nonperiodic case where either…

If $T$ is a (densely defined) self-adjoint operator acting on a complex Hilbert space $\mathcal{H}$ and $I$ stands for the identity operator, we introduce the delta function operator $\lambda \mapsto \delta \left(\lambda I-T\right) $ at…

In this paper, we generalize the notion of joint eigenvalues and joint spectrum of matrices and operator tupples on a bi complex Hilbert space. We observe that unlike the spectrum of a bounded operator on a bi complex Hilbert space is…

The periodic Schrodinger operator $ H $ on a discrete periodic graph is considered. We estimate the discrete spectrum of the perturbed operator $ H _ {-} (t) = H-tV $, $ t> 0 $, where the potential $ V \ ge 0 $ is decreasing and $t>0$ is…
