In noncommutative geometry one is interested in invariants such as the Fredholm index or spectral flow and their calculation using cyclic cocycles. A variety of formulae have been established under side conditions called summability…

Given a densely defined skew-symmetric operators A 0 on a real or complex Hilbert space V , we parametrize all m-dissipative extensions in terms of contractions $\Phi$ : H-$\rightarrow$ H + , where Hand H + are Hilbert spaces associated…

Let $\dot A$ be a densely defined, closed, symmetric operator in the complex, separable Hilbert space $\mathcal{H}$ with equal deficiency indices and denote by $\mathcal{N}_i = \ker \big(\big(\dot A\big)^* - i I_{\mathcal{H}}\big)$, $\dim…

In the setting of adjoint pairs of operators we consider the question: to what extent does the Weyl M-function see the same singularities as the resolvent of a certain restriction $A_B$ of the maximal operator? We obtain results showing…

We establish a spectral duality for certain unbounded operators in Hilbert space. The class of operators includes discrete graph Laplacians arising from infinite weighted graphs. The problem in this context is to establish a practical…

We introduce the notion of a pre-spectral triple, which is a generalisation of a spectral triple $(\mathcal{A}, H, D)$ where $D$ is no longer required to be self-adjoint, but closed and symmetric. Despite having weaker assumptions,…

An operator $T$ on a Hilbert space $\mathcal H$ is called expansive, if $\|Tx\|\geq \|x\|$ ($x\in\mathcal H$). Expansive operators $T$ quasisimilar to the unilateral shift $S_N$ of finite multiplicity $N$ are studied. It is proved that…

We introduce the notion of $K$-invariant operators, $S$, (in a Hilbert space) with respect to a bounded and boundedly invertible operator $K$ defined via $K^*SK=S$. Conditions such that self-adjoint and maximally dissipative extensions of…

An equivalent formulation of the von Neumann inequality states that the backward shift $S^*$ on $\ell_{2}$ is extremal, in the sense that if $T$ is a Hilbert space contraction, then $\|p(T)\| \leq \|p(S^*)\|$ for each polynomial $p$. We…

Let $H$ be a separable Hilbert space, $A_c:\mathcal D_c\subset H\to H$ a densely defined unbounded operator, bounded from below, let $\mathcal D_{\min}$ be the domain of the closure of $A_c$ and $\mathcal D_{\max}$ that of the adjoint.…

We investigate the properties of self-adjointness of a two-dimensional Dirac operator on an infinite sector with infinite mass boundary conditions and in presence of a Coulomb-type potential with the singularity placed on the vertex. In the…

This text is a survey of recent results obtained by the author and collaborators on different problems for non-self-adjoint operators. The topics are: Kramers-Fokker-Planck type operators, spectral asymptotics in two dimensions and Weyl…

We define the (convex) joint numerical range for an infinite family of compact operators in a Hilbert space H. We use this set to determine whether a self-adjoint compact operator A with {||A||, -||A||} in its spectrum is minimal respect to…

Given a class of nonautonomous elliptic operators $\A(t)$ with unbounded coefficients, defined in $\overline{I \times \Om}$ (where $I$ is a right-halfline or $I=\R$ and $\Om\subset \Rd$ is possibly unbounded), we prove existence and…

We investigate the effect of non-symmetric relatively bounded perturbations on the spectrum of self-adjoint operators. In particular, we establish stability theorems for one or infinitely many spectral gaps along with corresponding…

In this paper we define the deficiency indices of a closed symmetric right $\mathbb{H}$-linear operator and formulate a general theory of deficiency indices in a right quaternionic Hilbert space. This study provides a necessary and…

An \textit{ideal} of $N$-tuples of operators is a class invariant with respect to unitary equivalence which contains direct sums of arbitrary collections of its members as well as their (reduced) parts. New decomposition theorems (with…

We consider a self-adjoint operator $T$ on a separable Hilbert space, with pure-point and simple spectrum with accumulations at finite points. Explicit conditions are stated on the eigenvalues of $T$ and on the bounded perturbation $V$…

The homogenization of eigenvalues of non-Hermitian Maxwell operators is studied by the H-convergence method. It is assumed that the Maxwell systems are equipped with suitable m-dissipative boundary conditions, namely, with Leontovich or…

Let $H(\Om_0)=-\Delta+V$ be a Schr\"odinger operator on a bounded domain $\Om_0\subset \mathbb R^d$ with Dirichlet boundary conditions. Suppose that the $\Om_\ell$ ($\ell \in \{1,...,k\}$) are some pairwise disjoint subsets of $\Om_0$ and…
