Let $L$ be the Hill operator or the one dimensional Dirac operator on the interval $[0,\pi].$ If $L$ is considered with Dirichlet, periodic or antiperiodic boundary conditions, then the corresponding spectra are discrete and for large…

A periodic one-dimensional Schroedinger operator is called semifinite-gap if every second gap in its spectrum is eventually closed. We construct explicit examples of semifinite-gap Schroedinger operators in trigonometric functions by…

Consider the Hill operator $Ty=-y''+q'(t)y$ in $L^2(\R)$, where $q\in L^2(0,1)$ is a 1-periodic real potential. The spectrum of $T$ is is absolutely continuous and consists of bands separated by gaps $\g_n,n\ge 1$ with length $|\g_n|\ge 0$.…

It is shown that for any irrational rotation number and any admissible gap labelling number the almost Mathieu operator (also known as Harper's operator) has a gap in its spectrum with that labelling number. This answers the strong version…

Applying perturbation theory methods, the absence of the point spectrum for some nonselfadjoint integro-differential operators is investigated. The considered differential operators are of arbitrary order and act in either…

We formulate the inverse spectral theory of infinite gap Hill's operators with bounded periodic potential as a Riemann--Hilbert problem on a typically infinite collection of spectral bands and gaps. We establish a uniqueness theorem for…

We consider perturbations of interval maps with indifferent fixed points, which we refer to as wobbly interval intermittent maps, for which stable laws for general H\"older observables fail. We obtain limit laws for such maps and H\"older…

We study Markov interval maps with random holes. The holes are not necessarily elements of the Markov partition. Under a suitable, and physically relevant, assumption on the noise, we show that the transfer operator associated with the…

We study higher-order asymptotic expansions of eigenvalues in perturbed transfer operators, of the corresponding eigenfunctions and of the corresponding eigenvectors of the dual operators. In our main result, we give explicit expressions of…

We describe the spectral properties of the Jacobi operator $(Hy)_n= a_{n-1} y_{n-1}+a_{n}y_{n+1}+b_ny_n,$ $n\in\Z,$ with $a_n=a_n^0+ u_n,$ $b_n= b_n^0+ v_n,$ where sequences $a_n^0>0,$ $b_n^0\in\R$ are periodic with period $q$, and…

We consider small perturbations of the Laplace operator in a multi-dimensional cylindrical domain by second order differential operators with periodic coefficients. We show that under certain non-degeneracy conditions such perturbations can…

In this article, we provide the spectral analysis of a Dirac-type operator on $\mathbb{Z}^2$ by describing the behavior of the spectral shift function associated with a sign-definite trace-class perturbation by a multiplication operator. We…

We consider Dirac-like operators with piecewise constant mass terms on spin manifolds, and we study the behaviour of their spectra when the mass parameters become large. In several asymptotic regimes, effective operators appear: the…

For non-critical almost Mathieu operators with Diophantine frequency, we establish exponential asymptotics on the size of spectral gaps, and show that the spectrum is homogeneous. We also prove the homogeneity of the spectrum for…

This paper is devoted to the description of our recent results on the spectral behavior of one-dimensional adiabatic quasi-periodic Schrodinger operators. The specific operator we study is a slow periodic perturbation of an incommensurate…
