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…
We use Lie-theoretic methods to explicitly compute the full spectrum of the Laplace--Beltrami operator on homogeneous spheres which occur as geodesic distance spheres in (compact or noncompact) symmetric spaces of rank one, and provide a…
We compute the $\delta$-invariant of a curve singularity parameterized by generic sparse polynomials. We apply this to describe topological types of generic singularities of sparse resultants and ``algebraic knot diagrams'' (i.e. generic…

We prove well-posedness for very general linear wave- and diffusion equations on compact or non-compact metric graphs allowing various different conditions in the vertices. More precisely, using the theory of strongly continuous operator…
We give a relativistic generalization of the Gutzwiller-Duistermaat-Guillemin trace formula for the wave group of a compact Riemannian manifold to globally hyperbolic stationary space-times with compact Cauchy hypersurfaces. We introduce…
We extend the noncommutative residue of M. Wodzicki on compactly supported classical pseudo-differential operators of order $-d$ and generalise A. Connes' trace theorem, which states that the residue can be calculated using a singular trace…
We study perturbed Dirac operators of the form $ D_s= D + s\A :\Gamma(E^0)\rightarrow \Gamma(E^1)$ over a compact Riemannian manifold $(X, g)$ with symbol $c$ and special bundle maps $\A : E^0\rightarrow E^1$ for $s>>0$. Under a simple…

Generalized solitary waves with exponentially small non-decaying far field oscillations have been studied in a range of singularly-perturbed differential equations, including higher-order Korteweg-de Vries (KdV) equations. Many of these…
An extension of the Gutzwiller trace formula is given that includes diffraction effects due to hard wall scatterers or other singularities. The new trace formula involves periodic orbits which have arcs on the surface of singularity and…

We establish propagation of singularities for the semiclassical Schr\"odinger equation, where the potential is conormal to a hypersurface. We show that semiclassical wavefront set propagates along generalized broken bicharacteristics, hence…
The Laplace-Beltrami operator on cusp manifolds has continuous spectrum. The resonances are complex numbers that replace the discrete spectrum of the compact case. They are the poles of a meromorphic function $\varphi(s)$, $s\in…
In this paper, we prove that on a compact manifold with isolated conical singularity the spectrum of the Schr\"odinger operator $-4\Delta+R$ consists of discrete eigenvalues with finite multiplicities, if the scalar curvature $R$ satisfies…
We consider a family of compact manifolds which shrinks with respect to an appropriate parameter to a graph. The main result is that the spectrum of the Laplace-Beltrami operator converges to the spectrum of the (differential) Laplacian on…
