We study the spectral properties of discrete Schr\"odinger operator $$ \widehat H_\mu=\widehat H_0 + \mu \widehat{V},\qquad \mu\ge0, $$ associated to a one-particle system in $d$-dimensional lattice $\mathbb{Z}^d, $ $d=1,2,$ where the…

We study the uniqueness of self-adjoint and Markovian extensions of the Laplacian on weighted graphs. We first show that, for locally finite graphs and a certain family of metrics, completeness of the graph implies uniqueness of these…

We classify self-adjoint first-order differential operators on weighted Bergman spaces on the $N$-dimensional unit ball $\mathbb{B}^N$ and $\mathbb{D}^2$ of $2\times2$ complex matrices satisfying $I-ZZ^*>0$.Our main tools are the discrete…

The spectrum of a selfadjoint second order elliptic differential operator in $L^2(\mathbb{R}^n)$ is described in terms of the limiting behavior of Dirichlet-to-Neumann maps, which arise in a multi-dimensional Glazman decomposition and…

The main topic of these notes are Markov loops, studied in the context of continuous time Markov chains on discrete state spaces. We refer to [1] and [2] for the short "history" of the subject. In contrast with these references, symmetry is…

We consider the Jacobi operator (T,D(T)) associated with an indeterminate Hamburger moment problem, i.e., the operator in $\ell^2$ defined as the closure of the Jacobi matrix acting on the subspace of complex sequences with only finitely…

Iterations of odd piecewise continuous maps with two discontinuities, i.e., symmetric discontinuous bimodal maps, are studied. Symbolic dynamics is introduced. The tools of kneading theory are used to study the homology of the discrete…

We consider continuous-space, discrete-time Markov chains on $\mathbb{R}^d$, that admit a finite number $N$ of metastable states. Our main motivation for investigating these processes is to analyse random Poincar\'e maps, which describe…

Let $(X_n)$ be a Markov chain on a standard borelian space $\mathbb{X}$. Any stopping time $\tau$ such that $\mathbb{E}_x\tau$ is finite for all $x\in\mathbb{X}$ induces a Markov chain in $\mathbb{X}$. In this article, we show that there is…

Given $(M,g)$, a compact connected Riemannian manifold of dimension $d \geq 2$, with boundary $\partial M$, we consider an initial boundary value problem for a fractional diffusion equation on $(0,T) \times M$, $T>0$, with time-fractional…

Let (E,H,mu) be an abstract Wiener space and let D_V := VD, where D denotes the Malliavin derivative and V is a closed and densely defined operator from H into another Hilbert space G. Given a bounded operator B on G, coercive on the…

We reexamine the proofs of isospectrality of the counterexample domains to Kac' question `Can one hear the shape of a drum?' from an analytical viewpoint. We reformulate isospectrality in a more abstract setting as the existence of a…

We demonstrate the equivalence of two classes of $D$-invariant polynomial subspaces introduced in [8] and [9], i.e., these two classes of subspaces are different representations of the breadth-one $D$-invariant subspace. Moreover, we solve…

We consider systems of stochastic differential equations of the form \[ \d X_t^i = \sum_{j=1}^d A_{ij}(X_{t-}) \d Z_t^j\] for $i=1,\dots,d$ with continuous, bounded and non-degenerate coefficients. Here $Z_t^1,\dots,Z_t^d$ are independent…

The problem of d-dimensional Schrodinger equations with a position-dependent mass is analyzed in the framework of first-order intertwining operators. With the pair (H, H_1) of intertwined Hamiltonians one can associate another pair of…

The main objects under consideration in this thesis are called maps, a certain class of graphs embedded on surfaces. Our problems have a powerful relatively recent tool in common, the so-called topological recursion (TR) introduced by…

Let $L$ be a second order elliptic operator on $R^d$ with a constant diffusion matrix and a dissipative (in a weak sense) drift $b \in L^p_{loc}$ with some $p>d$. We assume that $L$ possesses a Lyapunov function, but no local boundedness of…
