We consider the Dirichlet boundary value problem for divergence form elliptic operators with bounded measurable coefficients. We prove that for uniform domains with Ahlfors regular boundary, the BMO solvability of such problems is…
An equivalent formulation of the von Neumann inequality states that the backward shift $S^*$ on $\ell_{2}$ is extremal, in the sense that if $T$ is a Hilbert space contraction, then $\|p(T)\| \leq \|p(S^*)\|$ for each polynomial $p$. We…
We show that certain type II string amplitudes at genus $g$ are given by the topological partition function $F_g$ discussed recently by Bershadsky, Cecotti, Ooguri and Vafa. These amplitudes give rise to a term in the four-dimensional…
In this paper operator pencils $A(x,D,\lambda)$ are studied which act on a manifold with boundary and satisfy the condition of $N$-ellipticity with parameter, a generalization of the notion of ellipticity with parameter as introduced by…
We define $N_\infty$-operads in the globally equivariant setting and completely classify them. These global $N_\infty$-operads model intermediate levels of equivariant commutativity in the global world, i. e. in the setting where objects…
Although Ornstein's nonestimate entails the impossibility to control in general all the $L^1$-norm of derivatives of a function by the $L^1$-norm of a constant coefficient homogeneous vector differential operator, the corresponding endpoint…
We consider contractive operators $T$ that are trace class perturbations of a unitary operator $U$. We prove that the dimension functions of the absolutely continuous spectrum of $T$, $T^*$ and of $U$ coincide. In particular, if $U$ has a…
Let $\Gamma$ be a rectifiable Jordan curve in the complex plane, $\Omega_i$ and $\Omega_e$ respectively the interior and exterior domains of $\Gamma$, and $p\geq 2$. Let $E$ be the vector space of functions defined on $\Gamma$ consisting of…
We present a generalization of bilateral weighted shift operators for the noncommutative multivariable setting. We discover a notion of periodicity for these shifts, which has an appealing diagramatic interpretation in terms of an infinite…
The AdS/CFT correspondence states that certain conformal field theories are equivalent to string theories in a higher-dimensional anti-de Sitter space. One aspect of the correspondence is an equivalence of density matrices or, if one…
We consider the problem of essential self-adjointness of the drift-diffusion operator $H=-\frac{1}{\rho}\nabla\cdot \rho \mathbb D\nabla +V$ on domains $\Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^d$ with $\mathcal{C}^2$-boundary $\partial \Omega$ and for…
We define new objects called 'horizontal $p$-adic $L$-functions' associated to $L$-values of twists of elliptic curves over $\mathbb{Q}$ by characters of $p$-power order and conductor prime to $p$. We study the fundamental properties of…
The statistics of energy levels for a disordered conductor are considered in the critical energy window near the mobility edge. It is shown that, if critical wave functions are multifractal, the one-dimensional gas of levels on the energy…
A differential operator $D$ commuting with an $S^1$-action is said to be rigid if the non-constant Fourier coefficients of $\ker D$ and $\coker D$ are the same. Somewhat surprisingly, the study of rigid differential operators turns out to…
In this paper second order elliptic boundary value problems on bounded domains $\Omega\subset\dR^n$ with boundary conditions on $\partial\Omega$ depending nonlinearly on the spectral parameter are investigated in an operator theoretic…
This is the first part of a series of two papers where we study perturbations of divergence form second order elliptic operators $-\mathop{\operatorname{div}} A \nabla$ by first and zero order terms, whose coefficients lie in critical…
We study the adjointness problem for the closed extensions of a general b-elliptic operator A in x^{-\nu}Diff^m_b(M;E), \nu>0, initially defined as an unbounded operator A:C_c^\infty(M;E)\subset x^\mu L^2_b(M;E)\to x^\mu L^2_b(M;E), \mu \in…
R. W. Carey and J. Pincus in [CaPi86] proposed and index theory for non-Fredholm bounded operators T on a separable Hilbert space H such that TT* - T*T is in the trace class. We showed in [CGK13] using Dirac-type operators acting on…
Continuing a theme of Lerner and Hytonen-Perez, we establish an L^p(w) inequality for a Haar shift operator of bounded complexity, that quantifies the contribution of the A_infty characteristic of the weight to the L^p norm. Here,…
It is well known how to define the operator $Q$ for the total charge (i.e., positron number minus electron number) on the standard Hilbert space of the second-quantized Dirac equation. Here we ask about operators $Q_A$ representing the…
