The main purpose of this paper is a wide generalization of one of the results abstract algebraic geometry begins with, namely of the fact that the prime spectrum $\mathrm{Spec}(R)$ of a unital commutative ring $R$ is always a spectral…

We consider compact metric graphs with an arbitrary self adjoint realisation of the differential Laplacian. After discussing spectral properties of Laplacians, we prove several versions of trace formulae, relating Laplace spectra to sums…

We give criteria for the membership of Hankel operators on the Hardy space on the disc in the Dixmier class, and establish estimates for their Dixmier trace. In contrast to the situation in the Bergman space setting, it turns out that there…

For $\alpha$ an ordinal, we investigate the class $\mathscr{SZ}_\alpha$ consisting of all operators whose Szlenk index is an ordinal not exceeding $\omega^\alpha$. Our main result is that $\mathscr{SZ}_\alpha$ is a closed, injective,…

As a natural extension of the ongoing development of a theory of ideals in commutative quantales with an identity element, this article aims to study into the analysis of certain topological properties exhibited by distinguished classes of…

We use trace class scattering theory to exclude the possibility of absolutely continuous spectrum in a large class of self-adjoint operators with an underlying hierarchical structure and provide applications to certain random hierarchical…

We address the computational spectral theory of Jacobi operators that are compact perturbations of the free Jacobi operator via the asymptotic properties of a connection coefficient matrix. In particular, for finite-rank perturbation we…

Our goal is to extend the theory of the spectral shift function to the case where only the difference of some powers of the resolvents of self-adjoint operators belongs to the trace class. As an example, we consider a couple of Dirac…

In this short article, we mainly prove that, for any spectral operator $A$ of type $m$ on a complex Hilbert space, if a bounded operator $B$ lies in the collection of bounded linear operators that are in the $k$-centralizer of every bounded…

Index theory has had profound impact on many branches of mathematics. In this note we discuss the context for a new kind of index theorem. We begin, however, with some operator theoretic results. In [11] Berger and Shaw established that…

Given a complex, separable Hilbert space $\mathcal{H}$, we characterize those operators for which $\| P T (I-P) \| = \| (I-P) T P \|$ for all orthogonal projections $P$ on $\mathcal{H}$. When $\mathcal{H}$ is finite-dimensional, we also…

We introduce the notion of spectral points of type $\pi_+$ and type $\pi_-$ of closed operators $A$ in a Hilbert space which is equipped with an indefinite inner product. It is shown that these points are stable under compact perturbations.…

We construct spectral triples and, in particular, Dirac operators, for the algebra of continuous functions on certain compact metric spaces. The triples are countable sums of triples where each summand is based on a curve in the space.…

In the present paper we prove that the classes of Dixmier and Connes-Dixmier traces differ even on the Dixmier ideal $\mathcal M_{1,\infty}$. We construct a Marcinkiewicz space $\mathcal M_\psi$ and a positive operator $T\in \mathcal…

We consider substitutions on compact alphabets and provide sufficient conditions for the diffraction to be pure point, absolutely continuous and singular continuous. This allows one to construct examples for which the Koopman operator on…

We prove that the space of radical ideals of a ring $R$, endowed with the hull-kernel topology, is a spectral space, and that it is canonically homeomorphic to the space of the nonempty Zariski closed subspaces of Spec$(R)$, endowed with a…

In this work we introduce a new measure for the dispersion of the spectral scale of a Hermitian (self-adjoint) operator acting on a separable infinite dimensional Hilbert space that we call spectral spread. Then, we obtain some…

Let $R$ be a commutative ring, $Y\subseteq \mathrm{Spec}(R)$ and $ h_Y(S)=\{P\in Y:S\subseteq P \}$, for every $S\subseteq R$. An ideal $I$ is said to be an $\mathcal{H}_Y$-ideal whenever it follows from $h_Y(a)\subseteq h_Y(b)$ and $a\in…

We consider the following trace function on n-tuples of positive operators: \Phi_p(A_1,A_2,...,A_n) = Trace (\sum_{j=1}^n A_j^p)^{1/p} and prove that it is jointly concave for 0<p\le 1 and convex for p=2. We then derive from this a…

Can there be a structure space-type theory for an arbitrary class of ideals of a ring? The ideal spaces introduced in this paper allows such a study and our theory includes (but not restricted to) prime, maximal, minimal prime, strongly…
