The notion of the wave spectrum of a semi-bounded symmetric operator was introduced by one of the authors in 2013. The wave spectrum is a topological space determined by the operator in a canonical way. The definition uses a dynamical…

In this paper, we study the spectrum $\sigma(L)$ of the Lam\'{e} operator \begin{equation*}L=\frac{d^2}{dx^2}-12\wp(x+z_0;\tau)\quad \text{in}\;\;L^2(\mathbb{R}, \mathbb{C}), \end{equation*} where $\wp(z;\tau)$ is the Weierstrass elliptic…

Motivated by a recent study of Bessel operators in connection with a refinement of Hardy's inequality involving $1/\sin^2(x)$ on the finite interval $(0,\pi)$, we now take a closer look at the underlying Bessel-type operators with more…

We consider the power spectrum of a biased tracer observed in a finite volume in the presence of a large-scale overdensity and tidal fields. Expanding both the observed power spectrum and the source fields (linear power spectrum, scalar…

Each bounded operator T on an infinite dimensional Hilbert space H is a sum of three operators that are similar to positive operators; two such operators are sufficient if T is not a compact perturbation of a scalar. The spectra of L\"uders…

We prove sufficient conditions for Hausdorff convergence of the spectra of sequences of closed operators defined on varying Hilbert spaces and converging in norm-resolvent sense, i.e. $\|J_\varepsilon(1+A_\varepsilon)^{-1} -…

We consider Schr\"odinger operators $H^h = (ih d+{\bf A})^* (ih d+{\bf A})$ with the periodic magnetic field ${\bf B}=d{\bf A}$ on covering spaces of compact manifolds. Under some assumptions on $\bf B$, we prove that there are arbitrarily…

Consider a semiclassical Hamiltonian \begin{equation*} H_{V, h} := h^{2} \Delta + V - E \end{equation*} where $h > 0$ is a semiclassical parameter, $\Delta$ is the positive Laplacian on $\mathbb{R}^{d}$, $V$ is a smooth, compactly supported…

In $L_2({\mathbb R}^d;{\mathbb C}^n)$, we study a selfadjoint strongly elliptic operator $A_\varepsilon$ of order $2p$ given by the expression $b({\mathbf D})^* g({\mathbf x}/\varepsilon) b({\mathbf D})$, $\varepsilon >0$. Here $g({\mathbf…

We show that a compact operator $A$ is a multiple of a positive semi-definite operator if and only if $$ \sigma(AB) \subseteq \overline{W(A)W(B)}, \quad\text{for all (rank one) operators $B$}. $$ An example of a normal operator is given to…

We consider a polyharmonic operator $H=(-\Delta)^l+V(x)$ in dimension two with $l\geq 6$ and a limit-periodic potential $V(x)$. We prove that the spectrum of $H$ contains a semiaxis and there is a family of generalized eigenfunctions at…

We consider operators $-\Delta + X$ where $X$ is a constant vector field, in a bounded domain and show spectral instability when the domain is expanded by scaling. More generally, we consider semiclassical elliptic boundary value problems…
