We establish higher order trace formulas for pairs of contractions along a multiplicative path generated by a self-adjoint operator in a Schatten-von Neumann ideal, removing earlier stringent restrictions on the kernel and defect operator…
We propose and investigate a strategy toward a proof of the Riemann Hypothesis based on a spectral realization of its non-trivial zeros. Our approach constructs self-adjoint operators obtained as rank-one perturbations of the spectral…
For scattering systems consisting of a (family of) maximal dissipative extension(s) and a selfadjoint extension of a symmetric operator with finite deficiency indices, the spectral shift function is expressed in terms of an abstract…
In this paper I prove existence of an irreducible pair of operators $H$ and $H+V,$ where $H$ is a self-adjoint operator and $V$ is a self-adjoint trace-class operator, such that the singular spectral shift function of the pair is non-zero…
In this work we construct the model of a skew--selfadjoint operator with a simple spectrum acting on a Hilbert quaternion bimodule. This result is based on the Spectral Theorem for a skew--selfadjoint operator.
Given $H$ self-adjoint, $V$ symmetric and relatively $H$-bounded, and $f:\mathbb{R}\to\mathbb{C}$ satisfying mild conditions, we show that the Gateaux derivative $$\frac{d^n}{dt^n}f(H+tV)|_{t=0}$$ exists in the operator norm topology, for…
An analytic definition of a $\mathbb{Z}_2$-valued spectral flow for paths of real skew-adjoint Fredholm operators is given. It counts the parity of the number of changes in the orientation of the eigenfunctions at eigenvalue crossings…
We offer a spectral analysis for a class of transfer operators. These transfer operators arise for a wide range of stochastic processes, ranging from random walks on infinite graphs to the processes that govern signals and recursive wavelet…
We study the relation between spectral flow and index theory within the framework of (unbounded) KK-theory. In particular, we consider a generalised notion of 'Dirac-Schr\"odinger operators', consisting of a self-adjoint elliptic…
We consider a 2D Schroedinger operator H0 with constant magnetic field, on a strip of finite width. The spectrum of H0 is absolutely continuous, and contains a discrete set of thresholds. We perturb H0 by an electric potential V which…
Given a pair of self-adjoint operators $H$ and $V$ such that $V$ is bounded and $(H+V-i)^{-1}-(H-i)^{-1}$ belongs to the Schatten-von Neumann ideal $\mathcal{S}^n$, $n\ge 2$, of operators on a separable Hilbert space, we establish higher…
We investigate trace formulas for one-dimensional Schroedinger operators which are trace class perturbations of quasi-periodic finite-gap operators using Krein's spectral shift theory. In particular, we establish the conserved quantities…
In mathematical physics, the gradient operator with nonconstant coefficients encompasses various models, including Fourier's law for heat propagation and Fick's first law, that relates the diffusive flux to the gradient of the…
Naively, the analytic index of a family of self-adjoint Fredholm operators ought to be (an equivalence class of) the family of the kernels of these operators. The present paper is devoted to a rigorous version of this idea based on ideas of…
We consider the 3D Schr\"odinger operator $H_0$ with constant magnetic field $B$ of scalar intensity $b>0$, and its perturbations $H_+$ (resp., $H_-$) obtained by imposing Dirichlet (resp., Neumann) conditions on the boundary of the bounded…
We present a model for spectral theory of families of selfadjoint operators, and their corresponding unitary one-parameter groups (acting in Hilbert space.) The models allow for a scale of complexity, indexed by the natural numbers…
In this article, we provide the spectral analysis of a Dirac-type operator on $\mathbb{Z}^2$ by describing the behavior of the spectral shift function associated with a sign-definite trace-class perturbation by a multiplication operator. We…
This research expository article contains a survey of earlier work (in \S2--\S4) but also contains a main new result (in \S5), which we first describe. Given $c \geq 0$, the spectral operator $\mathfrak{a} = \mathfrak{a}_c$ can be thought…
We consider the Schr\"odinger operator on a star shaped graph with $n$ edges joined at a single vertex. We derive an expression for the trace of the difference of the perturbed and unperturbed resolvent in terms of a Wronskian. This leads…
In his 1953 paper [Matem.~Sbornik \textbf{33} (1953), 597 -- 626] Mark Krein presented an example of a symmetric rank one perturbation of a self-adjoint operator such that for all values of the spectral parameter in the interior of the…
