The existence of a strong spectral gap for quotients $\Gamma\bs G$ of noncompact connected semisimple Lie groups is crucial in many applications. For congruence lattices there are uniform and very good bounds for the spectral gap coming…
We develop a renormalisation group approach to deriving the asymptotics of the spectral gap of the generator of Glauber type dynamics of spin systems with strong correlations (at and near a critical point). In our approach, we derive a…

By different methods we show that for dynamical chaos in the standard map with critical golden curve the Poincar\'e recurrences P(\tau) and correlations C(\tau) asymptotically decay in time as P ~ C/\tau ~ 1/\tau^3. It is also explained why…
We consider non-self-adjoint operators in Hilbert spaces of the form $H=H_0+CWC$, where $H_0$ is self-adjoint, $W$ is bounded and $C$ is a metric operator, $C$ bounded and relatively compact with respect to $H_0$. We suppose that…
We consider skew-product maps over circle rotations $x\mapsto x+\alpha$ (mod 1) with factors that take values in SL(2,R). This includes maps of almost Mathieu type. In numerical experiments, with $\alpha$ the inverse golden mean, Fibonacci…
We prove sharp spectral transition in the arithmetics of phase between localization and singular continuous spectrum for Diophantine almost Mathieu operators. We also determine exact exponential asymptotics of eigenfunctions and of…
We consider the random iteration of finitely many expanding $\mathcal{C}^{1+\epsilon}$ diffeomorphisms on the real line without a common fixed point. We derive the spectral gap property of the associated transition operator acting on…
We discuss spectral properties of the family of quartic oscillators $\mathfrak h_{\mathcal M}(\alpha) =-\frac{d^2}{dt^2} +\Big(\frac{1}{2} t^{2} -\alpha\Big)^2$ on the real line, where $\alpha\in \mathbb{R}$ is a parameter. This operator…
This paper is devoted to a general min-max characterization of the eigenvalues in a gap of the essential spectrum of a self-adjoint unbounded operator. We prove an abstract theorem, then we apply it to the case of Dirac operators with a…
We consider the Schr\"odinger operator on the real line with a $N\ts N$ matrix valued periodic potential, N>1. The spectrum of this operator is absolutely continuous and consists of intervals separated by gaps. We define the Lyapunov…

Every character on a graded connected Hopf algebra decomposes uniquely as a product of an even character and an odd character (Aguiar, Bergeron, and Sottile, math.CO/0310016). We obtain explicit formulas for the even and odd parts of the…
We consider a hybrid diffusion process that is a combination of two Ornstein-Uhlenbeck processes with different restraining forces. This process serves as the heavy-traffic approximation to the Markovian many-server queue with abandonments…
