We study how the spectrum of a Jacobi operator changes when this operator is modified by a certain finite rank perturbation. The operator corresponds to an infinite mass-spring system and the perturbation is obtained by modifying one…

We study the spectral multiplicity of Jacobi operators on star-like graphs with $m$ branches. Recently, it was established that the multiplicity of the singular continuous spectrum is at most $m$. Building on these developments and using…

The Jacobi matrices with bounded elements whose spectrum of multiplicity 2 is separated from its simple spectrum and contains an interval of absolutely continuous spectrum are considered. A new type of spectral data, which are analogous for…

We summarize (and comment on) the research program carried out in (CMP 319, 501 (2013)), (CMP 338, 347 (2015)), (CMP 344, 959 (2016), (LMP 106, 787 (2016)). This program is devoted to the characterization of the absolutely continuous…

We study one-dimensional random Jacobi operators corresponding to strictly ergodic dynamical systems. In this context, we characterize the spectrum of these operators by non-uniformity of the transfer matrices and the set where the Lyapunov…

We consider the 1D periodic Jacobi matrices. The spectrum of this operator is purely absolutely continuous and consists of intervals separated by gaps. We solve the inverse problem (including characterization) in terms of vertical slits on…

For an arbitrary Hermitian period-$T$ Jacobi operator, we assume a perturbation by a Wigner-von Neumann type potential to devise subordinate solutions to the formal spectral equation for a (possibly infinite) real set, $S$, of the spectral…

We use the classical results of Baxter and Gollinski-Ibragimov to prove a new spectral equivalence for Jacobi matrices on $l^2(\N)$. In particular, we consider the class of Jacobi matrices with conditionally summable parameter sequences and…

Consider the Jacobi operators $\cJ$ given by $(\cJ y)_n=a_ny_{n+1}+b_ny_n+a_{n-1}^*y_{n-1}$, $y_n\in \C^m$ (here $y_0=y_{p+1}=0$), where $b_n=b_n^*$ and $a_n:\det a_n\ne 0$ are the sequences of $m\ts m$ matrices, $n=1,..,p$. We study two…
