For any $r$-order $\{0, 1\}$-tensor $A$ with $e$ ones, we prove that the spectral radius of $A$ is at most $e^{\frac{r-1}{r}}$ with the equality holds if and only if $e={k^r}$ for some integer $k$ and all ones forms a principal sub-tensor…

We prove that every family of coverings of any infinite-area, convex cocompact hyperbolic surface has uniform spectral gap, provided that the associated Schreier graphs form a family of two-sided expanders. This extends the results of…

We prove the following for a bounded convex planar domain that is symmetric with respect to both coordinate axes. Consider a centered rectangle with sides parallel to the axes that strictly contains the domain. If the domain is not a…

To every $n$-dimensional lens space $L$, we associate a congruence lattice $\mathcal L$ in $\mathbb Z^m$, with $n=2m-1$ and we prove a formula relating the multiplicities of Hodge-Laplace eigenvalues on $L$ with the number of lattice…

Reider's Theorem on the very ampleness of adjoint linear series on a complex projective algebraic surface is extended in two new directions. First, Reider-type inequalities are shown to imply nefness of linear series of the form dH - E on…

We show that the spectral radius for the action of a self map $f$ of a smooth projective variety (over an arbitrary base field) on its $\ell$-adic cohomology is achieved on the $f^*$-stable sub-algebra generated by any ample class. This…

Let $S(k)$ be the scattering matrix for a Schr\"odinger operator (Laplacian plus potential) on $\RR^n$ with compactly supported smooth potential. It is well known that $S(k)$ is unitary and that the spectrum of $S(k)$ accumulates on the…

Let $A$ be a square random matrix of size $n$, with mean zero, independent but not identically distributed entries, with variance profile $S$. When entries are i.i.d. with unit variance, the spectral radius of $n^{-1/2}A$ converges to $1$…

We determine the minimal spectral radii among all skew-reciprocal integer matrices of a fixed even dimension that are primitive or nonnegative and irreducible. In particular, except for dimension six, we show that each such class of…

A mixed tree is a tree in which both directed arcs and undirected edges may exist. Let $T$ be a mixed tree with $n$ vertices and $m$ arcs, where an undirected edge is counted twice as arcs. Let $A$ be the adjacency matrix of $T$. For…

We extend to the infinite dimensional context the link between two completely different topics recently highlighted by the authors: the classical eigenvalue problem for real square matrices and the Brouwer degree for maps between oriented…

The spectral $p$-norm of $r$-matrices generalizes the spectral $2$-norm of $2$-matrices. In 1911 Schur gave an upper bound on the spectral $2$-norm of $2$-matrices, which was extended in 1934 by Hardy, Littlewood, and Polya to $r$-matrices.…

The present paper is devoted to the description of rigid solvable Leibniz algebras. In particular, we prove that solvable Leibniz algebras under some conditions on the nilradical are rigid and we describe four-dimensional solvable Leibniz…

We study the spectrum of the Toeplitz matrix with a sine kernel, which corresponds to the single-particle reduced density matrix for free fermions on the one-dimensional lattice. For the spectral determinant of this matrix, a…

It is the aim of this article to determine curvature quantities of an arbitrary Riemannian monotone metric on the space of positive matrices resp. nonsingular density matrices. Special interest is focused on the scalar curvature due to its…

We show that, on any asymptotically hyperbolic surface, the essential spectrum of the Lichnerowicz Laplacian $\Delta_L$ contains the ray $[{1/4},+\infty[$. If moreover the scalar curvature is constant then -2 and 0 are infinite dimensional…

Let $p$ be a polynomial in the non-commuting variables $(a,x)=(a_1,...,a_{g_a},x_1,...,x_{g_x})$. If $p$ is convex in the variables $x$, then $p$ has degree two in $x$ and moreover, $p$ has the form $p = L + \Lambda ^T \Lambda,$ where $L$…

We prove a new inequality which improves on the classical Hardy inequality in the sense that a nonlinear integral quantity with super-quadratic growth, which is computed with respect to an inverse square weight, is controlled by the energy.…

We consider additive perturbations of the type $K_t=K_0+tW$, $t\in [0,1]$, where $K_0$ and $W$ are self-adjoint operators in a separable Hilbert space $\mathcal{H}$ and $W$ is bounded. In addition, we assume that the range of $W$ is a…

If a tuple of matrices has a common invariant subspace, its projective joint spectrum has an algebraic component. In general, the converse is not true, and there might be algebraic components in the projective joint spectrum without…
