We propose to build a combinatorial invariant, called the spectral monodromy, from the spectrum of a single non-selfadjoint h-pseudodifferential operator with two degrees of freedom in the semi-classical limit. Our inspiration comes from…

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…

Let $m\in \mathbb{N}$, $\alpha\in[0,1]$, and $V$ be a 1-periodic complex-valued distribution in the negative Sobolev space $H^{-m\alpha}[0,1]$. The singular non-self-adjoint eigenvalue problem $D^{2m}u+V u=\lambda u$, $D=-i d/dx$, with…

The eigenvalue problem on the circle for the non-self-adjoint operators $L_{m}(V)=(-1)^{m}\frac{d^{2m}}{dx^{2m}}+V$, $m\in \mathbb{N}$ with singular complex-valued 2-periodic distributions $V\in H_{per}^{-m}[-1,1]$ is studied. Asymptotic…

We consider a periodic self-adjoint pseudo-differential operator $H=(-\Delta)^m+B$, $m>0$, in $\R^d$ which satisfies the following conditions: (i) the symbol of $B$ is smooth in $\bx$, and (ii) the perturbation $B$ has order less than $2m$.…
