Given a compact surface of revolution with Laplace-beltrami operator $\Delta$, we consider the spectral projector $P_{\lambda,\delta}$ on a polynomially narrow frequency interval $[\lambda-\delta,\lambda + \delta]$, which is associated to…

We consider semidensities on a supermanifold E with an odd symplectic structure. We define a new $\Delta$-operator action on semidensities as the proper framework for Batalin-Vilkovisky formalism. We establish relations between…

We obtain a uniform ergodic theorem for the sequence $\frac1{s(n)} \sum_{k=0}^n(\varDelta s)(n-k)\,T^k$, where $\varDelta$ is the inverse of the endomorphism on the vector space of scalar sequences which maps each sequence into the sequence…

Let $P(\Delta)$ be a polynomial of the Laplace operator $\Delta=\sum_{j=1}^n\frac{\partial^2}{\partial x^2_j}$ on $\mathbb{R}^n$. We prove the existence of weak solutions of the equation $P(\Delta)u=f$ and the existence of a bounded right…

We study the asymptotic behaviour of the cohomology of subgroups $\Gamma$ of an algebraic group $G$ with coefficients in the various irreducible rational representations of $G$ and raise a conjecture about it. Namely, we expect that the…

We prove a series of ``knapsack'' type equalities for irreducible character degrees of symmetric groups. That is, we find disjoint subsets of the partitions of $n$ so that the two corresponding character-degree sums are equal. Our main…

Let L(t) = --div (A(x, t)$\nabla$ x) for t $\in$ (0, $\tau$) be a uniformly elliptic operator with boundary conditions on a domain $\Omega$ of R d and $\partial$ = $\partial$ $\partial$t. Define the parabolic operator L = $\partial$ + L on…

We show that if a graph $G$ has average degree $\bar d \geq 4$, then the Ihara zeta function of $G$ is edge-reconstructible. We prove some general spectral properties of the edge adjacency operator $T$: it is symmetric for an indefinite…

We consider the possibility of adding a Grassmann-odd function \nu to the odd Laplacian. Requiring the total \Delta operator to be nilpotent leads to a differential condition for \nu, which is integrable. It turns out that the odd function…

We study analytic properties of the representation zeta functions of arithmetic groups of type $\mathsf{A}_2$, such as $\textrm{SL}_3(\mathbb{Z})$. In particular, we uncover further poles of these functions and determine a natural boundary…

Let $\eta$ be a closed real 1-form on a closed Riemannian $n$-manifold $(M,g)$. Let $d_z$, $\delta_z$ and $\Delta_z$ be the induced Witten's type perturbations of the de~Rham derivative and coderivative and the Laplacian, parametrized by…

We prove a formula for the spectrum of the Laplace-Beltrami operator on functions for compact naturally reductive homogeneous spaces in terms of eigenvalues of a generalized Casimir operator and spherical representations. We apply this…

Kazhdan's property (T) has been studied for several discrete group-like structures, including standard invariants of Jones' subfactors and discrete quantum groups. We prove a Zuk-type spectral gap criterion for property (T) in this setting.…

Some PT-symmetric non-hermitean Hamiltonians have only real eigenvalues. There is numerical evidence that the associated PT-invariant energy eigenstates satisfy an unconventional completeness relation. An ad hoc scalar product among the…

We consider the Klein--Gordon equation associated with the Laplace--Beltrami operator $\Delta$ on real hyperbolic spaces of dimension $n\!\ge\!2$; as $\Delta$ has a spectral gap, the wave equation is a particular case of our study. After a…

The quantum dynamics of a particle in the Modified P\"oschl-Teller potential is derived from the group $SL(2,R)$ by applying a Group Approach to Quantization (GAQ). The explicit form of the Hamiltonian as well as the ladder operators is…
