Let $U^N = (U_1^N,\dots, U^N_p)$ be a d-tuple of $N\times N$ independent Haar unitary matrices and $Z^{NM}$ be any family of deterministic matrices in $\mathbb{M}_N(\mathbb{C})\otimes \mathbb{M}_M(\mathbb{C})$. Let $P$ be a self-adjoint…

In this paper, we study eigenvalues of the poly-Laplacian with arbitrary order on a bounded domain in an n-dimensional Euclidean space and obtain a lower bound for eigenvalues, which generalizes the results due to Cheng-Wei [5] and gives an…

We describe a highly efficient numerical scheme for finding two-sided bounds for the eigenvalues of the fractional Laplace operator (-Delta)^{alpha/2} in the unit ball D in R^d, with a Dirichlet condition in the complement of D. The…

We calculate the exceptional points of the eigenvalues of several parameter-dependent Hamiltonian operators of mathematical and physical interest. We show that the calculation is greatly facilitated by the application of the discriminant to…

Using Thurston's characterization of postcritically finite rational functions as branched coverings of the sphere to itself, we give a new method of constructing new conformal dynamical systems out of old ones. Let $f(z)$ be a rational map…

We review some work done with C. Rovelli on the use of the eigenvalues of the Dirac operator on a curved spacetime as dynamical variables, the main motivation coming from their invariance under the action of diffeomorphisms. The eigenvalues…

We establish an implication between two long-standing open problems in complex dynamics. The roots of the $n$-th Gleason polynomial $G_n\in\mathbb{Q}[c]$ comprise the $0$-dimensional moduli space of quadratic polynomials with an…

For rational numbers $c$, we present a trichotomy of the set of totally real (totally $p$-adic, respectively) preperiodic points for maps in the quadratic unicritical family $f_c(x)=x^2+c$. As a consequence, we classify quadratic…

We prove that the Frobenius--Perron operator $U$ of the cusp map $F:[-1,1]\to[-1,1]$, $F(x)=1-2\sqrt{|x|}$ (which is an approximation of the Poincar\'e section of the Lorenz attractor) has no analytic eigenfunctions corresponding to…

We study endomorphisms constructed by Sarah Koch in her thesis and we focus on the eigenvalues of the differential of such maps at its fixed points. In Koch's thesis, to each post-critically finite unicritical polynomial, Koch associated a…

For any Thurston map with exactly four postcritical points, we present an algorithm to compute the Weil-Petersson boundary values of the corresponding Thurston pullback map. This procedure is carried out for the Thurston map…

We study the family of compact operators $B_{\alpha} = V A_{\alpha} V$, $\alpha>0$ in $L^2(\mathbb R^d)$, $d\ge 1$, where $A_{\alpha}$ is the pseudo-differential operator with symbol $a_{\alpha}(\boldsymbol\xi) = a(\alpha\boldsymbol\xi)$,…

A non-linear functional $Q[u,v]$ is given that governs the loss, respectively gain, of (doubly degenerate) eigenvalues of fourth order differential operators $L = \partial^4 + \partial u \partial + v$ on the line. Apart from factorizing $L$…

We consider eigenvalues of a quantized cat map (i.e. hyperbolic symplectic integer matrix), cut off in phase space to include a fixed point as its only periodic orbit on the torus. We prove a simple formula for the eigenvalues on both the…

In this article, we obtain some results in the direction of ``infinite dimensional symplectic spectral theory". We prove an inequality between the eigenvalues and symplectic eigenvalues of a special class of infinite dimensional operators.…

Let $f:(\mathbb{P}^1,P)\to(\mathbb{P}^1,P)$ be a postcritically finite rational map with postcritical set $P$. William Thurston showed that $f$ induces a holomorphic pullback map $\sigma_f:\mathcal{T}_P\to\mathcal{T}_P$ on the Teichm\"uller…

Let $\Omega$ be a bounded open set in the Poincar\'e hyperbolic disk, $\mathbb{D}$. In this article, we consider the hyperbolic logarithmic potential operator $\mathcal{L}_h : L^2(\Omega) \to L^2(\Omega)$, defined by \begin{equation*}…

We study E-eigenvalues of a symmetric tensor $f$ of degree $d$ on a finite-dimensional Euclidean vector space $V$, and their relation with the E-characteristic polynomial of $f$. We show that the leading coefficient of the E-characteristic…

In the early 1980's Thurston gave a topological characterization of rational maps whose critical points have finite iterated orbits (\cite{Th,DH1}): given a topological branched covering $F$ of the two sphere with finite critical orbits, if…

Every Thurston map $f\colon S^2\rightarrow S^2$ on a $2$-sphere $S^2$ induces a pull-back operation on Jordan curves $\alpha\subset S^2\setminus P_f$, where $P_f$ is the postcritical set of $f$. Here the isotopy class $[f^{-1}(\alpha)]$…
