We consider an abstract sequence $\{A_n\}_{n=1}^\infty$ of closed symmetric operators on a separable Hilbert space $\mathcal{H}$. It is assumed that all $A_n$'s have equal deficiency indices $(k,k)$ and thus self-adjoint extensions…

We present a new necessary condition for similarity of indefinite Sturm-Liouville operators to self-adjoint operators. This condition is formulated in terms of Weyl-Titchmarsh $m$-functions. Also we obtain necessary conditions for…

A recent development in random matrix theory, the intrinsic freeness principle, establishes that the spectrum of very general random matrices behaves as that of an associated free operator. This reduces the study of such random matrices to…

We prove a semiclassical resolvent estimate for a broad class of non-self-adjoint, non-elliptic pseudodifferential operators in the low-lying spectral regime. The proof relies on improved ellipticity properties for the symbol of the…

A locally compact group $G$ is said to be weakly amenable if the Fourier algebra $A(G)$ admits completely bounded approximative units. Consider the family of groups $G_n=SL(2,\Bbb R)\ltimes H_n$ where $n\ge 2$, $H_n$ is the $2n+1$…

In this work, in the Hilbert space of vector-functions L^2 (H,(-\infty,a)\cup(b,+\infty)),a<b all normal extensions of the minimal operator generated by linear singular formally normal differential expression l(\cdot)=(d/dt+A_1,d/dt+A_2)…

We consider the well-known method of least squares on an equidistant grid with $N+1$ nodes on the interval $[-1,1]$ with the goal to approximate a function $f\in\mathcal{C}\left[-1,1\right]$ by a polynomial of degree $n$. We investigate the…

We study two problems. The first one is the similarity problem for the indefinite Sturm-Liouville operator \[ A=-(\sgn\, x)\frac{d}{wdx}\frac{d}{rdx} \] acting in $L^2_{w}(-b,b)$. It is assumed that $w,r\in L^1_{\loc}(-b,b)$ are even and…

We view the neat reduct operator as a functor that lessens dimensions from CA_{\alpha+\omega} to CA_{\alpha} for infinite ordinals \alpha. We show that this functor has no right adjoint. Conversely for polyadic algebras, and several reducts…

We present a new oscillation criterion to determine whether the number of eigenvalues below the essential spectrum of a given Jacobi operator is finite or not. As an application we show that Kenser's criterion for Jacobi operators follows…

A model operator $H$ corresponding to the energy operator of a system with non-conserved number $n\leq 3$ of particles is considered. The precise location and structure of the essential spectrum of $H$ is described. The existence of…

Let $\Omega\subset {\bf R}^n$ be a smooth bounded domain. In this paper, we prove a result of which the following is a by-product: Let $q\in ]0,1[$, $\alpha\in L^{\infty}(\Omega)$, with $\alpha>0$, and $k\in {\bf N}$. Then, the problem…

For a Riemannian covering $p \colon M_{2} \to M_{1}$, we compare the spectrum of an essentially self-adjoint differential operator $D_{1}$ on a bundle $E_{1} \to M_{1}$ with the spectrum of its lift $D_{2}$ on $p^{*}E_{1} \to M_{2}$. We…

In this paper, we consider the Schr\"odinger operators $L_k=-\Delta_k+V$, where $\Delta_k$ is the Dunkl-Laplace operator and $V$ is a non-negative potential on $R^d$. We establish that $L_k $ is essentially self-adjoint on $C_0^\infty$. In…

For $\alpha > 0$ we consider the operator $K_\alpha \colon \ell^2 \to \ell^2$ corresponding to the matrix \[\left(\frac{(nm)^{-\frac{1}{2}+\alpha}}{[\max(n,m)]^{2\alpha}}\right)_{n,m=1}^\infty.\] By interpreting $K_\alpha$ as the inverse of…

We consider a quantum particle moving in the one dimensional lattice Z and interacting with a indefinite sign external field v. We prove that the associated discrete Schroedinger operator H can have one or two eigenvalues, situated as below…

We prove a unique continuation principle or uncertainty relation valid for Schr\"odinger operator eigenfunctions, or more generally solutions of a Schr\"odinger inequality, on cubes of side $L\in 2\NN+1$. It establishes an equi-distribution…
