After recalling a fundamental identity relating traces and modified Fredholm determinants, we apply it to a class of half-line Schr\"odinger operators $(- d^2/dx^2) + q$ on $(0,\infty)$ with purely discrete spectra. Roughly speaking, the…
The flow of the low energy eigenstates of a $U_q[sl(2|1)]$ superspin chain with alternating fundamental ($3$) and dual ($\bar{3}$) representations is studied as function of a twist angle determining the boundary conditions. The finite size…
This paper establishes a theory of nonlinear spectral decompositions by considering the eigenvalue problem related to an absolutely one-homogeneous functional in an infinite-dimensional Hilbert space. This approach is both motivated by…
We investigate numerically the spectral flow introduced by Adams for the staggered Dirac operator on realistic gauge configurations. We study both the unimproved and the HISQ Dirac operators. We compare the spectral flow index with the…
This paper concerns Fredholm theory in several variables, and its applications to Hilbert spaces of analytic functions. One feature is the introduction of ideas from commutative algebra to operator theory. Specifically, we introduce a…
In this paper we study spectra and Fredholm properties of Ornstein-Uhlenbeck operators $$\mathcal{L}v(x)=A\triangle v(x)+\langle Sx,\nabla v(x)\rangle+Df(v_{\star}(x))v(x),\,x\in\mathbb{R}^d,\,d\geqslant 2$$ where…
In the first part of this manuscript a relationship between the spectrum of self-adjoint operator matrices and the spectra of their diagonal entries is found. This leads to enclosures for spectral points and in particular, enclosures for…
We study the $L^2$-gradient flow of functionals $\mathcal F$ depending on the eigenvalues of Schr\"odinger potentials $V$ for a wide class of differential operators associated to closed, symmetric, and coercive bilinear forms, including the…
For the pair $\{-\Delta, -\Delta-\alpha\delta_\mathcal{C}\}$ of self-adjoint Schr\"{o}dinger operators in $L^2(\mathbb{R}^n)$ a spectral shift function is determined in an explicit form with the help of (energy parameter dependent)…
A notion of equivariant spectral flows for families of self-dual elliptic operators on Riemannian manifolds is purposed. As a consequence, a local version of a Lefschetz fix point theorem is proved for Toeplitz operators on odd-dimensional…
We give general spectral and eigenvalue perturbation bounds for a selfadjoint operator perturbed in the sense of the pseudo-Friedrichs extension. We also give several generalisations of the aforementioned extension. The spectral bounds for…
In [Camano, Lackner, Monk, SIAM J. Math. Anal., Vol. 49, No. 6, pp. 4376-4401 (2017)] it was suggested to use Stekloff eigenvalues for Maxwell equations as target signature for nondestructive testing via inverse scattering. The authors…
We introduce the concept of a spectral shift operator and use it to derive Krein's spectral shift function for pairs of self-adjoint operators. Our principal tools are operator-valued Herglotz functions and their logarithms. Applications to…
We present a spectral analysis for matrix scaling and operator scaling. We prove that if the input matrix or operator has a spectral gap, then a natural gradient flow has linear convergence. This implies that a simple gradient descent…
In recent joint papers the authors of this note solved a famous problem remained open for many years and proved that for arbitrary contractions with trace class difference there exists an integrable spectral shift function, for which an…
On a smooth, compact and oriented manifold without boundary, we give a complete description of the correlation function of a Morse-Smale gradient flow satisfying a certain nonresonance assumption. This is done by analyzing precisely the…
We introduce the notion of the joint spectral flow, which is a generalization of the spectral flow, by using Segal's model of the connective $K$-theory spectrum. We apply it for some localization results of indices motivated by Witten's…
In 2005 a new topological invariant defined in terms of the Brouwer degree of a determinant map, was introduced by Musso, Pejsachowicz and the first name author for counting the conjugate points along a semi-Riemannian geodesic. This…
We establish a splitting formula for the spectral flow of the odd signature operator on a closed 3-manifold M coupled to a path of SU(2) connections, provided M = S cup X, where S is the solid torus. It describes the spectral flow on M in…
