Lecture notes to a one-term course on operator algebras and their application in physics. Very brief and basic introduction to the subject of Banach- and C-star algebras complemented with their appearance in physics. The course is intended…
The aim of this note is to set in the field of dynamical systems a recent theorem by Obersnel and Omari about the presence of periodic solutions of all periods for a class of scalar time-periodic first order differential equations without…
Photonic crystals are characterized by a spatial modulation of the dielectric constant on the length scale of the wavelength of light giving rise to energy ranges where light cannot propagate through the crystal - the photonic band gap.…
Establishing the existence of periodic orbits is one of the crucial and most intricate topics in the study of dynamical systems, and over the years, many methods have been developed to this end. On the other hand, finding closed orbits in…
Lecture notes for one of the courses at the OPSFA Summerschool 6, July 11-15, 2016. All the results in these notes have appeared in the literature. Many special functions are eigenfunctions to explicit operators, such as difference and…

This paper is the augmented notes of a course I gave jointly with Laurent Berger in Rennes in 2014. Its aim was to introduce the periods rings B crys and B dR and state several comparison theorems between{\'e}tale and crystalline or de Rham…
There has been quite some activity and progress concerning spectral asymptotics of random operators that are defined on percolation subgraphs of different types of graphs. In this short survey we record some of these results and explain the…
In this survey we discuss spectral and quantum dynamical properties of discrete one-dimensional Schr\"odinger operators whose potentials are obtained by real-valued sampling along the orbits of an ergodic invertible transformation. After an…
In a previous work we introduced an elementary method to analyze the periodicity of a generating function defined by a single equation y=G(x,y). This was based on deriving a single set-equation Y = Gammma(Y) defining the spectrum of the…
We quantize graphs (networks) which consist of a finite number of bonds and vertices. We show that the spectral statistics of fully connected graphs is well reproduced by random matrix theory. We also define a classical phase space for the…
In this paper the problem of the theory of a quasicrystal structures - the determination of coordinates of each atom of quasicrystal in analytical form - is solved. Within the framework of the proposed model a periodic crystal can be…
We study the spectral statistics of quantum (metric) graphs whose vertices are equipped with preferred orientation vertex conditions. When comparing their spectral statistics to those predicted by suitable random matrix theory ensembles,…

We introduce the theoretical framework we use to study the bewildering variety of phases in condensed--matter physics. We emphasize the importance of the breaking of symmetries, and develop the idea of an order parameter through several…
Periodic table of chemical elements symbolizes an elegant graphical representation of symmetry at atomic level and provides an overview on arrangement of electrons. It started merely as tabular representation of chemical elements, later got…
Spatio-temporally chaotic dynamics of a classical field can be described by means of an infinite hierarchy of its unstable spatio-temporally periodic solutions. The periodic orbit theory yields the global averages characterizing the chaotic…
Quasiperiodic Jacobi operators arise as mathematical models of quasicrystals and in more general studies of structures exhibiting aperiodic order. The spectra of these self-adjoint operators can be quite exotic, such as Cantor sets, and…
We study the spectral properties of ergodic Schr\"{o}dinger operators that are associated to a certain family of non-primitive substitutions on a binary alphabet. The corresponding subshifts provide examples of dynamical systems that go…
