We give the first example of a connected 4-regular graph whose Laplace operator's spectrum is a Cantor set, as well as several other computations of spectra following a common ``finite approximation'' method. These spectra are simple…

We consider a Sturm--Liouville operator $Ly=-y''+qy$ in $L_2[0,\pi]$ with Dirichlet boundary conditions. We assume, that the potential $q$ is complex valued and belongs to Sobolev space $W_2^\theta[0,\pi]$, $\theta\in(-1,-1/2$. This…

In this paper we study a Sturm--Liouville operator $Ly=-y"+q(x)y$ in the space $L_2[0,\pi]$ with Direchlet boundary conditions. Here the potential $q$ is a first order distribution: $q\in W_2^{-1}[0,\pi]$. Such operators were defined in our…

A Helson matrix (also known as a multiplicative Hankel matrix) is an infinite matrix with entries $\{a(jk)\}$ for $j,k\geq1$. Here the $(j,k)$'th term depends on the product $jk$. We study a self-adjoint Helson matrix for a particular…

We consider rank one perturbations $A_\alpha=A+\alpha(\cdot,\varphi)\varphi$ of a self-adjoint operator $A$ with cyclic vector $\varphi\in\mathcal H_{-1}(A)$ on a Hilbert space $\mathcal H$. The spectral representation of the perturbed…

Two-particle discrete Schr\"{o}dinger operators $H(k)=H_{0}(k)-V$ on the three-dimensional lattice $\Z^3,$ $k$ being the two-particle quasi-momentum, are considered. An estimate for the number of the eigenvalues lying outside of the band of…

In this paper we extend the transfer operator approach to Selberg's zeta function for cofinite Fuchsian groups to the Hecke triangle groups G_q, q=3,4,..., which are non-arithmetic for q \not= 3,4,6. For this we make use of a Poincare map…

It is necessary to calculate the C operator for the non-Hermitian PT-symmetric Hamiltonian H=\half p^2+\half\mu^2x^2-\lambda x^4 in order to demonstrate that H defines a consistent unitary theory of quantum mechanics. However, the C…
