We prove the simplicity and analyticity of the eigenvalues of the cubic oscillator Hamiltonian,$H(\beta)=-d^2/dx^2+x^2+i\sqrt{\beta}x^3$,for $\beta$ in the cut plane $\C_c:=\C\backslash (-\infty, 0)$. Moreover, we prove that the spectrum…
In this paper, we determine the spectral instability of periodic odd waves for the defocusing fractional cubic nonlinear Schr\"odinger equation. Our approach is based on periodic perturbations that have the same period as the standing wave…

We derive a spectral representation for the oblate spheroidal wave operator which is holomorphic in the aspherical parameter $\Omega$ in a neighborhood of the real line. For real $\Omega$, estimates are derived for all eigenvalue gaps…

In general, for single field, the scale invariant spectrum of curvature perturbation can be given by either its constant mode or its increasing mode. We show that during slowly expanding or contracting, the spectrum of curvature…
We develop methods to calculate the curvature power spectrum in models where features in the inflaton potential nonlinearly excite modes and generate high frequency features in the spectrum. The first nontrivial effect of excitations…
We prove new results on the stability of the absolutely continuous spectrum for perturbed Stark operators with decaying or satisfying certain smoothness assumption perturbation. We show that the absolutely continuous spectrum of the Stark…
One well known method of generating a large blue spectral index for axionic isocurvature perturbations is through a flat direction not having a quartic potential term for the radial partner of the axion field. In this work, we show how one…
In non-attractor single-field inflation models producing a scale-invariant power spectrum, the curvature perturbation on super-horizon scales grows as ${\cal R}\propto a^3$. This is so far the only known class of self-consistent…
Large blue tilted spectral index axionic isocurvature perturbations can be produced when the axion sector is far out of equilibrium during inflation through an initial Peccei-Quinn (PQ) symmetry breaking field displacement along a nearly…
We study spectral asymptotics for small non-selfadjoint perturbations of selfadjoint $h$-pseudodifferential operators in dimension 2, assuming that the classical flow of the unperturbed part possesses several invariant Lagrangian tori…
Consider the operator $ T=-{d^2dx^2}+x^2+q(x)$ in $L^2(\mathbb{R})$, where real functions $q$, $q'$ and $\int_0^xq(s)ds$ are bounded. In particular, $q$ is periodic or almost periodic. The spectrum of $T$ is purely discrete and consists of…
We study the stability under scalar perturbations, and we compute the quasinormal modes of the Einstein-Born-Infeld dilaton spacetime in 1+3 dimensions. Solving the full radial equation in terms of hypergeometric functions, we provide an…
We revisit the existence and stability of the critical front in the extended Fisher-KPP equation, refining earlier results of Rottsch\"afer and Wayne [28] which establish stability of fronts without identifying a precise decay rate. We…

In the range of $h_c<h<1+2 M_2$, where $h$ is the D'yakov-Kontorovich parameter, $h_c$ is its critical value corresponding to the onset of the spontaneous acoustic emission, and $M_2$ is the downstream Mach number, the classic analysis…
In this paper, we give a new covariation spectral representation of some non stationary symmetric $\alpha$-stable processes (S$\alpha$S). This representation is based on a weaker covariation pseudo additivity condition which is more general…
