The spectral flow is an integer-valued homotopy invariant for paths of selfadjoint Fredholm operators. Lesch as well as Pejsachowicz, Fitzpatrick and Ciriza independently showed that it is uniquely characterised by its elementary…

We explain the topology of the space, so called, Fredholm-Lagrangian-Grassmannain and the quantity ``Maslov index'' for paths in this space based on the standard theory of Functional Analysis. Our standing point is to define the Maslov…

We study the Spectral Analysis for a class of bounded linear operators T = D + F in a non Archimedean Hilbert space E, where D is a diagonal linear operator and where F is a finite rank linear operator. In this study of the Spectral…

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 derive a limiting absorption principle on any compact interval in $\mathbb{R} \backslash \{0\}$ for the free massless Dirac operator, $H_0 = \alpha \cdot (-i \nabla)$ in $[L^2(\mathbb{R}^n)]^N$, $n \geq 2$, $N=2^{\lfloor(n+1)/2\rfloor}$,…

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…

Let~$H_0$ and~$V$ be self-adjoint operators such that~$V$ admits a factorisation $V = F^*JF$ with bounded self-adjoint $J$ and $|H_0|^{1/2}$-compact~$F.$ Flow of singular spectrum of the path of self-adjoint operators $H_0 + rV,$ $r \in…

We relate the spectral flow to the index for paths of selfadjoint Breuer-Fredholm operators affiliated to a semifinite von Neumann algebra, generalizing results of Robbin-Salamon and Pushnitski. Then we prove the vanishing of the von…

A bounded operator $T$ on a separable, complex Hilbert space is said to be odd symmetric if $I^*T^tI=T$ where $I$ is a real unitary satisfying $I^2=-1$ and $T^t$ denotes the transpose of $T$. It is proved that such an operator can always be…

When a flux quantum is pushed through a gapped two-dimensional tight-binding operator, there is an associated spectral flow through the gap which is shown to be equal to the index of a Fredholm operator encoding the topology of the Fermi…

Let $(-A,B,C)$ be a linear system in continuous time $t>0$ with input and output space ${\mathbb C}$ and state space $H$. The scattering (or impulse response) functions $\phi_{(x)}(t)=Ce^{-(t+2x)A}B$ determines a Hankel integral operator…

In this paper we shall focus on one-dimensional strictly local operators, the notion of which naturally arises in the context of discrete-time quantum walks on the one-dimensional integer lattice. In particular, we give an elementary…

We define a new topology, weaker than the gap topology, on the space of selfadjoint unbounded operators on a separable Hilbert space. We show that the subspace of selfadjoint Fredholm operators represents the functor $K^1$ from the category…

We introduce a new topology, weaker than the gap topology, on the space of selfadjoint operators affiliated to a semifinite von Neumann algebra. We define the real-valued spectral flow for a continuous path of selfadjoint Breuer-Fredholm…

Let $(-A,B,C)$ be a continuous time linear system with state space a separable complex Hilbert space $H$, where $-A$ generates a strongly continuous contraction semigroup $(e^{-tA})_{t\geq 0}$ on $H$, and $\phi (t)=Ce^{-tA}B$ is the impulse…

We investigate the spectrum of a typical non-self-adjoint differential operator $AD=-d^2/dx^2\otimes A$ acting on $\Lp(0,1)\otimes \mathbb{C}^2$, where $A$ is a $2\times 2$ constant matrix. We impose Dirichlet and Neumann boundary…

We establish a formula for the spectral flow of a smooth family of twisted Dirac operators on a closed odd-dimensional Riemannian spin manifold, generalizing a result by Getzler. The spectral flow is expressed in terms of the $\hat{A}$-form…

We prove that a first order linear differential operator G with unbounded operator coefficients is Fredholm on spaces of functions on the real line with values in a reflexive Banach space if and only if the corresponding strongly continuous…

We study adjointable, bounded operators on the direct sum of two copies of the standard Hilbert C*-module over a unital C*-algebra A that are given by upper triangular 2 by 2 operator matrices. Using the definition of A-Fredholm and…
