We prove the existence of metrics maximizing the first eigenvalue normalized by area on closed, non-orientable surfaces assuming two spectral gap conditions. These spectral gap conditions are proved by the authors in \cite{MS3}.
In this paper I give an explicit construction of an analogue of eigenspace for points of the singular spectrum of a self-adjoint operator. This construction is based on an abstract version of homogeneous Lippmann-Schwinger equation.
Eigenvalue and eigenvector perturbation theory is a fundamental topic in several disciplines, including numerical linear algebra, quantum physics, and related fields. The central problem is to understand how the eigenvalues and eigenvectors…
