We introduce a class of (tuples of commuting) unbounded operators on a Banach space, admitting smooth functional calculi, that contains all operators of Helffer-Sj\"ostrand type and is closed under the action of smooth proper mappings.…

Given a strongly local Dirichlet space and $\lambda\geq 0$, we introduce a new notion of $\lambda$--subharmonicity for $L^1_\loc$--functions, which we call \emph{local $\lambda$--shift defectivity}, and which turns out to be equivalent to…

The main result of this paper is a bound on the distance between the distribution of an eigenfunction of the Laplacian on a compact Riemannian manifold and the Gaussian distribution. If $X$ is a random point on a manifold $M$ and $f$ is an…

A super-Laplacian is a set of differential operators in superspace whose highest-dimensional component is given by the spacetime Laplacian. Symmetries of super-Laplacians are given by linear differential operators of arbitrary finite degree…

In this note we show how one can use recently gained insights from the study of singular SPDEs, more particularly the study of singular operators via the theory of Paracontrolled Distributions, to construct domains for (singular) elliptic…

We study a Laplacian operator related to the characteristic cohomology of a smooth manifold endowed with a distribution. We prove that this Laplacian does not behave very well: it is not hypoelliptic in general and does not respect the…

Let $(M,g)$ be a compact smoothly stratified pseudomanifold with an iterated cone-edge metric satisfying a spectral Witt condition. Under these assumptions the Hodge-Laplacian $\Delta$ is essentially self-adjoint. We establish the…

Let $\dlap$ be the discrete Laplace operator acting on functions (or rational matrices) $f:\mathbf{Q}_L\to\mathbb{Q}$, where $\mathbf{Q}_L$ is the two dimensional lattice of size $L$ embedded in $\mathbb{Z}_2$. Consider a rational $L\times…

We study the discrete Schr\"odinger operator $H$ in $\ZZ^d$ with the surface potential of the form $V(x)=g \delta(x_1) \tan \pi(\alpha \cdot x_2+ \omega)$, where for $x \in \ZZ^d$ we write $x=(x_1,x_2), \quad x_1 \in \ZZ^{d_1}, x_2 \in…

A second order self-adjoint operator $\Delta=S\partial^2+U$ is uniquely defined by its principal symbol $S$ and potential $U$ if it acts on half-densities. We analyse the potential $U$ as a compensating field (gauge field) in the sense that…
