We give an example of an operator with different weak and strong absolutely continuous subspaces, and a counterexample to the duality problem for the spectral components. Both examples are optimal in the scale of compact operators.

In this paper we study self-adjoint commuting ordinary differential operators. We find sufficient conditions when an operator of fourth order commuting with an operator of order $4g+2$ is self-adjoint. We introduce an equation on…

For a two-dimensional Schr\"odinger operator $H_{\alpha V}=-\Delta-\alpha V,\ V\ge 0,$ we study the behavior of the number $N_-(H_{\alpha V})$ of its negative eigenvalues (bound states), as the coupling parameter $\alpha$ tends to infinity.…

We give a new proof of the Weyl-von Neumann-Berg theorem. Our proof improves Halmos' proof in 1972 by observing the fact that every compact set in the complex plane is the continuous image of a compact set in the real line.

We discuss the Hamiltonian for a nonrelativistic electron with spin in the presence of an abelian magnetic monopole and note that it is not self-adjoint in the lowest two angular momentum modes. We then use von Neumann's theory of…

We argue that conformal invariance in flat spacetime implies Weyl invariance in a general curved background metric for all unitary theories in spacetime dimensions $d \leq 10$. We also study possible curvature corrections to the Weyl…

We present a variant of Mourre's commutator theory. We apply it to prove the limiting absorption principle for Schr\"odinger operators with a perturbed Wigner-Von Neumann potential at suitable energies. To our knowledge, this result is new…

In this article we give general neccessary and sufficient conditions to ensure that a pseudo-Riemannian manifold is conformal to an Einstein space. These conditions are algorithmic in \emph{the metric tensor} whenever the Weyl endomorphism…

A linear different operator L is called weakly hypoelliptic if any local solution u of Lu=0 is smooth. We allow for systems, that is, the coefficients may be matrices, not necessarily of square size. This is a huge class of important…

For a second order formally symmetric elliptic differential expression we show that the knowledge of the Dirichlet-to-Neumann map or Robin-to-Dirichlet map for suitably many energies on an arbitrarily small open subset of the boundary…

Let $V$ be a simple vertex operator algebra which admits the continuous, faithful action of a compact Lie group $G$ of automorphisms. We establish a Schur-Weyl type duality between the unitary, irreducible modules for $G$ and the…

We provide necessary and sufficient conditions for a pair $S,T$ of Hilbert space operators in order that they satisfy $S^*=T$ and $T^*=S$. As a main result we establish an improvement of von Neumann's classical theorem on the positive…

In this paper we explore a certain class of non-selfadjoint operators acting in a complex separable Hilbert space. We consider a perturbation of a non-selfadjoint operator by an operator that is also non-selfadjoint. Our consideration is…

In this note semibounded self-adjoint extensions of symmetric operators are investigated with the help of the abstract notion of quasi boundary triples and their Weyl functions. The main purpose is to provide new sufficient conditions on…

We prove the Pleijel theorem in non-collapsed RCD spaces, providing an asymptotic upper bound on the number of nodal domains of Laplacian eigenfunctions. As a consequence, we obtain that the Courant nodal domain theorem holds except at most…

A class of globally scale-invariant scalar-tensor theories have been proposed to be invariant under a larger class of transformations that take the form of local Weyl transformations supplemented by a restriction that the conformal factor…

The problem of approximating the discrete spectra of families of self-adjoint operators that are merely strongly continuous is addressed. It is well-known that the spectrum need not vary continuously (as a set) under strong perturbations.…

We investigate the spectral asymptotic behavior of operator-valued classical pseudo-differential operators ($\Psi$DOs) for negative order with symbols taking values in a semifinite von Neumann algebran $\mathcal{M}$ equipped with a normal…

We prove and apply two theorems: First, a quantitative, scale-free unique continuation estimate for functions in a spectral subspace of a Schr\"odinger operator on a bounded or unbounded domain, second, a perturbation and lifting estimate…

Based on the relationship of symmetric operators with Hermitian symmetric spaces, we introduce the notion of \emph{Weyl curve} for a symmetric operator $T$, which is the geometric abstraction and generalization of the well-known Weyl…
