Let $p/q$ ($p, q \in \mathbb{N}^*$) be a positive rational number such that $p > q^2$. We show that for any $\epsilon > 0$, there exists a set $A(\epsilon) \subset [0, 1[$, with finite border and with Lebesgue measure $< \epsilon$, for…

Let $G$ be a connected, simply connected nilpotent group and $\pi$ be a square-integrable irreducible unitary representation modulo its center $Z(G)$ on $L^2(\mathbf{R}^d)$. We prove that under reasonably weak conditions on $G$ and $\pi$…

Schr\"odinger operators with periodic (possibly complex-valued) potentials and discrete periodic operators (possibly with complex-valued entries) are considered, and in both cases the computational spectral problem is investigated: namely,…

In this paper we go over the history of the Fuglede or Spectral Set Conjecture as it has developed over the last 30 years or so. We do not aim to be exhaustive and we do not cover important areas of development such as the results on the…

Consider an arbitrary $n$-dimensional lattice $\Lambda$ such that $\mathbb{Z}^n \subset \Lambda \subset \mathbb{Q}^n$. Such lattices are called {\it rational} and can always be obtained by adding $m \le n$ rational vectors to…

For convex optimization problems Bregman divergences appear as regret functions. Such regret functions can be defined on any convex set but if a sufficiency condition is added the regret function must be proportional to information…

Suppose $\Lambda \subseteq \RR^2$ has the property that any two exponentials with frequency from $\Lambda$ are orthogonal in the space $L^2(D)$, where $D \subseteq \RR^2$ is the unit disk. Such sets $\Lambda$ are known to be finite but it…

In this paper, we study the spectrality of infinite convolutions generated by infinitely many admissible pairs which may not be compactly supported, where the spectrality means the corresponding square integrable function space admits a…

The Emergent Order Spectrum $\Omega(x,y)$ is a topological invariant of dynamical systems providing order-types induced by the limit order of order-compatible nested $\varepsilon_n$-chains (with $\varepsilon_n\to 0$) from $x$ to $y$. In…

We consider equally-weighted Cantor measures $\mu_{q,b}$ arising from iterated function systems of the form ${b^{-1}(x+i)}$, $i=0,1,...,q-1$, where $q<b$. We classify the $(q,b)$ so that they have infinitely many mutually orthogonal…

The concept of universality has shaped our understanding of many-body physics, but is mostly limited to homogenous systems. Here, we present a study of universality on a non-homogeneous graph, the long-range diluted graph (LRDG). Its…

It is shown that there exists an $\alpha$-rigid transformation with $\alpha$ less or equal to $\frac12$ whose spectrum has Lebesgue component. This answers the question raised by Klemes and Reinhold in \cite{Klemes-Reinhold}. We exhibit…

In this article, we prove that a compact open set in the field $\mathbb{Q}_p$ of $p$-adic numbers is a spectral set if and only if it tiles $\mathbb{Q}_p$ by translation, and also if and only if it is $p$-homogeneous which is easy to check.…

The lower spectral radius of a set of $d \times d$ matrices is defined to be the minimum possible exponential growth rate of long products of matrices drawn from that set. When considered as a function of a finite set of matrices of fixed…

We develop dimension theory for a large class of structures called espaliers, consisting of a set $L$ equipped with a partial order $\leq$, an orthogonality relation $\perp$, and an equivalence relation $\sim$, subject to certain axioms.…

We study tiling and spectral sets in vector spaces over prime fields. The classical Fuglede conjecture in locally compact abelian groups says that a set is spectral if and only if it tiles by translation. This conjecture was disproved by T.…

Let a three-dimensional hyperbolic polyhedron $\mathcal P$ have finite volume $\mathrm{vol}(\mathcal P)$ and a finite number of vertices $\mathrm{ver}(\mathcal P)$. We call its normalized volume the quantity $\omega(\mathcal P) =…

We consider sets of reals $X$ endowed with the Sorgenfrey lower limit topology denoted $X[\leq]$. Przymusi\'nski proved that if $X$ is a $Q$-set then $(X[\leq])^2$ is normal. While the converse is not in general true we consider examples of…

We consider "cubes" in products of finite cyclic groups and we study their tiling and spectral properties. (A set in a finite group is called a tile if some of its translates form a partition of the group and is called spectral if it admits…

Let $\sigma(A)$, $\rho(A)$ and $r(A)$ denote the spectrum, spectral radius and numerical radius of a bounded linear operator $A$ on a Hilbert space $H$, respectively. We show that a linear operator $A$ satisfying $$\rho(AB)\le r(A)r(B)…
