We consider the non-selfadjoint, semiclassical Schr\"odinger operator $\mathscr{L}(h) := -h^2\partial_x^2+e^{i\alpha}V$, where $\alpha \in (-\pi,\pi)$ and $V: \mathbb{R}\to \mathbb{R}_+$ is even and vanishes at exactly two (symmetric)…

We study the eigenvalues of the self-adjoint Zakharov-Shabat operator corresponding to the defocusing nonlinear Schrodinger equation in the inverse scattering method. Real eigenvalues exist when the square of the potential has a simple…

The spectrum of the focusing Zakharov-Shabat operator on the circle is studied, and its explicit dependence on the presence of a semiclassical parameter is also considered. Several new results are obtained. In particular: (i) it is proved…

We give a spectral description of the semi-classical Schrodinger operator with a piecewise linear, complex valued potential. Moreover, using these results, we show how an arbitrarily small bounded perturbation of a non-self-adjoint operator…

Let $H_0$ and $H$ be self-adjoint operators in a Hilbert space. In the scattering theory framework, we describe the essential spectrum of the difference $\varphi(H)-\varphi(H_0)$ for piecewise continuous functions $\varphi$. This…

In this paper we provide a complete study of the spectrum of a constant coefficients differential operator on a scale of localized Sobolev spaces, $H^{s}_{loc}(I),$ which are Fr\'echet spaces. This is quite different from what we find in…

In [arXiv:0801.0172] we examined a family of periodic Sturm-Liouville problems with boundary and interior singularities which are highly non-self-adjoint but have only real eigenvalues. We now establish Schatten class properties of the…

The problem of approximating the discrete spectra of families of self-adjoint operators that are merely strongly continuous is addressed. It is well-known that the spectrum need not vary continuously (as a set) under strong perturbations.…

We give a precise and complete description on the spectrum for a class of non-self-adjoint quasi-periodic operators acting on $\ell^2(\mathbb{Z}^d)$ which contains the Sarnak's model as a special case. As a consequence, one can see various…

We generalise the theory of energy functionals used in the study of gradient systems to the case where the domain of definition of the functional cannot be embedded into the Hilbert space $H$ on which the associated operator acts, such as…

We study asymptotic behavior of the eigenvalues of Strum--Liouville operators $Ly= -y'' +q(x)y $ with potentials from Sobolev spaces $W_2^{\theta -1}, \theta \geqslant 0$, including the non-classical case $\theta \in [0,1)$ when the…

In this paper, we establish some results about the singular points of certain non-monotone potential operators. Here is a sample: If $X$ is an infinite-dimensional reflexive real Banach space and if $T:X\to X^*$ is a non-monotone, closed,…

We consider a family of self-adjoint Ornstein--Uhlenbeck operators $L_{\alpha} $ in an infinite dimensional Hilbert space H having the same gaussian invariant measure $\mu$ for all $\alpha \in [0,1]$. We study the Dirichlet problem for the…

This work deals with the functional model for a class of extensions of symmetric operators and its applications to the theory of wave scattering. In terms of Boris Pavlov's spectral form of this model, we find explicit formulae for the…

The central problem we consider is the distribution of eigenvalues of closed linear operators which are not selfadjoint, with a focus on those operators which are obtained as perturbations of selfadjoint linear operators. Two methods are…

In their study of Jack polynomials, Nazarov-Sklyanin introduced a remarkable new graded linear operator ${\mathcal L} \colon F[w] \rightarrow F[w]$ where $F$ is the ring of symmetric functions and $w$ is a variable. In this paper, we (1)…

Let $H_0$ be a purely absolutely continuous selfadjoint operator acting on some separable infinite-dimensional Hilbert space and $V$ be a compact non-selfadjoint perturbation. We relate the regularity properties of $V$ to various spectral…

We prove Lieb-Thirring-type bounds on eigenvalues of non-selfadjoint Jacobi operators, which are nearly as strong as those proven previously for the case of selfadjoint operators by Hundertmark and Simon. We use a method based on…
