In this note we study the properties of a sequence of approximate propagators for the Schr\"odinger equation, in the spirit of Feynman's path integrals. Precisely, we consider Hamiltonian operators arising as the Weyl quantization of a…

We prove trace inequalities for a self-adjoint operator on an abstract Hilbert space. These inequalities lead to universal bounds on spectral gaps and on moments of eigenvalues lambda_k that are analogous to those known for Schroedinger…

Let $M$ be a smooth compact manifold of dimension $d$ without boundary. We introduce the concept of predominance for Riemannian metrics on $M$, a notion analogous to full Lebesgue measure which, in particular, implies density. We show that…

We study general (not necessarily Hamiltonian) first-order symmetric systems $J y'(t)-B(t)y(t)=\D(t) f(t)$ on an interval $\cI=[a,b> $ with the regular endpoint $a$. It is assumed that the deficiency indices $n_\pm(\Tmi)$ of the minimal…

The classical concept of $Q$-functions associated to symmetric and selfadjoint operators due to M.G. Krein and H. Langer is extended in such a way that the Dirichlet-to-Neumann map in the theory of elliptic differential equations can be…

We consider an abstract sequence $\{A_n\}_{n=1}^\infty$ of closed symmetric operators on a separable Hilbert space $\mathcal{H}$. It is assumed that all $A_n$'s have equal deficiency indices $(k,k)$ and thus self-adjoint extensions…

For a class of non-selfadjoint $h$--pseudodifferential operators with double characteristics, we give a precise description of the spectrum and establish accurate semiclassical resolvent estimates in a neighborhood of the origin.…

We develop a sharp boundary trace theory in arbitrary bounded Lipschitz domains which, in contrast to classical results, allows "forbidden" endpoints and permits the consideration of functions exhibiting very limited regularity. This is…

Eigenvalue problems for semidefinite operators with infinite dimensional kernels appear for instance in electromagnetics. Variational discretizations with edge elements have long been analyzed in terms of a discrete compactness property. As…

We establish an operator--theoretic correspondence between periodic Bernoulli kernels and Hermite polynomials, framed through the umbral calculus and a quantum analogy. Starting from the analytic master function $F^\ast$, the periodic…

We aim at extending the definition of the Weyl calculus to an infinite dimensional setting, by replacing the phase space $ \mathbb{R}^{2n}$ by $B^2$, where $(i,H,B)$ is an abstract Wiener space. A first approach is to generalize the…

The Weyl family of a dual pair $A\subseteq B^c$ of operators in a Krein space determines a minimal boundary triple uniquely up to similarity; if $A=B$, a necessary and sufficient condition in order that the similarity should be unitary is…

We prove operator-norm resolvent convergence estimates for one-dimensional periodic differential operators with rapidly oscillating coefficients in the non-uniformly elliptic high-contrast setting, which has been out of reach of the…

We systematically develop Weyl-Titchmarsh theory for singular differential operators on arbitrary intervals $(a,b) \subseteq \mathbb{R}$ associated with rather general differential expressions of the type \[ \tau f = \frac{1}{r} (-…

Emil Artin defined a zeta function for algebraic curves over finite fields and made a conjecture about them analogous to the famous Riemann hypothesis. This and other conjectures about these zeta functions would come to be called the Weil…

A criterion for the validity of the Riemann hypothesis reduced the problem to the search for a certain estimate, for a hermitian form associated by means of the Weyl symbolic calculus of operators to a distribution in the plane of an…

Eigenvalue interlacing is a useful tool in linear algebra and spectral analysis. In its simplest form, the interlacing inequality states that a rank-one positive perturbation shifts each eigenvalue up, but not further than the next…

We study the local commutation relation between the Lefschetz operator and the exterior differential on an almost complex manifold with a compatible metric. The identity that we obtain generalizes the backbone of the local K\"ahler…

The adjoint of a matrix in the Lie algebra associated with a matrix algebra is a fundamental operator, which can be generalized to a more general operator $\varphi_{AB}: X\rightarrow AX-XB$ by two matrices $A$ and $B$. The kernel of the…

The extension problem asks whether positive semi-definite functions on a symmetric unital subset of a discrete group can be extended to positive semi-definite functions on the whole group. It has been known at least since the work of Rudin…
