Second variation of a smooth optimal control problem at a regular extremal is a symmetric Fredholm operator. We study asymptotics of the spectrum of this operator and give an explicit expression for its determinant in terms of solutions of…

Let $D_t$, $t \in [0,1]$ be an arbitrary 1-parameter family of Dirac type operators on a two-dimensional disk with $m-1$ holes. Suppose that all operators $D_t$ have the same symbol, and that $D_1$ is conjugate to $D_0$ by a scalar gauge…

Denote by $T_n^d(A)$ an upper triangular operator matrix of dimension $n$ whose diagonal entries are given and the others are unknown. In this article we provide necessary and sufficient conditions for various types of Fredholm and Weyl…

We obtain a representation formula for the derivative of the spectral shift function $\xi(\lambda; B, \epsilon)$ related to the operators $H_0(B,\epsilon) = (D_x - By)^2 + D_y^2 + \epsilon x$ and $H(B, \epsilon) = H_0(B, \epsilon) + V(x,y),…

Given a commuting d-tuple $\bar T=(T_1,...,T_d)$ of otherwise arbitrary nonnormal operators on a Hilbert space, there is an associated Dirac operator $D_{\bar T}$. Significant attributes of the d-tuple are best expressed in terms of…

Toeplitz operators on spaces $H^p(G)\ (1< p<\infty)$ associated with compact connected Abelian group $G$ with ordered dual are considered and the generalization of the classical Gohberg-Krein theorem on the Fredholm index of such operators…

We study the index theory of hypoelliptic operators on Carnot manifolds -- manifolds whose Lie algebra of vector fields is equipped with a filtration induced from sub-bundles of the tangent bundle. A Heisenberg pseudodifferential operator,…

We extend the relative index theorem on non-compact manifolds to encompass a wide variety of hypoelliptic differential operators of arbitrary order, demonstrating that the change in index when changing a differential operator locally can be…

We discuss the solution theory of operators of the form $\nabla_X + A$, acting on smooth sections of a vector bundle with connection $\nabla$ over a manifold $M$, where $X$ is a vector field having a critical point with positive…

The aim of this note is to generalize the notion of Fredholm operator to an arbitrary $C^*$-algebra. Namely, we define "finite type" elements in an axiomatic way, and also we define Fredholm type element $a$ as such element of a given…

Let $A\colon H\rightarrow H$ be a normal operator on an infinite-dimensional separable Hilbert space $H$ and let $S\subseteq H$ be a finite subset such that $\{A^nx\}_{n\geq 0,\,x\in S}$ can be rescaled to form a frame for $H$. That is,…

We study the index of the APS boundary value problem for a strongly Callias-type operator $D$ on a complete even dimensional Riemannian manifold $M$ (the odd dimensional case was considered in our previous paper arXiv:1706.06737). We use…

The paper concerns the general linear one-dimensional second-order hyperbolic equation $$ \partial^2_tu - a^2(x,t)\partial^2_xu + a_1(x,t)\partial_tu + a_2(x,t)\partial_xu + a_3(x,t)u=f(x,t), \quad x\in(0,1) $$ with periodic conditions in…

In this paper we study the essential spectra of the Toeplitz operator on the Hardy space $H^1$. We give a counterexample to show that the Toeplitz operator with symbol is not Fredholm, which gives a counterexample to the conjecture by J.A.…

Scattering resonances have important applications in many areas of science and engineering. They are the replacement of discrete spectral data for problems on non-compact domains. In this paper, we consider the computation of scattering…

The spectral and scattering properties of non-selfadjoint problems pose a mathematical challenge. Apart from exceptional cases, the well-developed methods used to examine the spectrum of selfadjoint problems are not applicable. One of the…

We consider families of strongly indefinite systems of elliptic PDE and investigate bifurcation from a trivial branch of solutions by using the spectral flow. The novelty in our approach is a refined version of a comparison principle that…
