In this paper we develop the method of double operator integrals to prove trace formulae for functions of contractions, dissipative operators, unitary operators and self-adjoint operators. To establish the absolute continuity of spectral…

We study a class of rooted trees with a substitution type structure. These trees are not necessarily regular, but exhibit a lot of symmetries. We consider nearest neighbor operators which reflect the symmetries of the trees. The spectrum of…

We show that (for the weak operator topology) the set of unitary operators on a separable infinite-dimensional Hilbert space is residual in the set of all contractions. The analogous result holds for isometries and the strong operator…

For every $n>0$ there is a unitary operator $U$ such that the unitary operator with simple Lebesgue spectrum is isomorphic to the tensor product $U\otimes U^2\otimes\dots\otimes U^{2^n}.$ There is an ergodic automorphism $T$ with its…

The simplest and most natural examples of completely nonunitary contractions on separable complex Hilbert spaces which have polynomial characteristic functions are the nilpotent operators. The main purpose of this paper is to prove the…

Let $T$ be an absolutely continuous polynomially bounded operator, and let $\theta$ be a singular inner function. It is shown that if $\theta(T)$ is invertible and some additional conditions are fulfilled, then $T$ has nontrivial…

A contraction $T$ on a (complex, separable) Hilbert space is stable, or of class $C_{0\cdot}$, if $T^n\to 0$ in the strong operator topology. It is proved that for a non-stable pure subnormal contraction $T$ there exists a singular inner…

We study the asymptotic behaviour of contractive operators and strongly continuous semigroups on separable Hilbert spaces using the notion of rigidity. In particular, we show that a "typical" contraction $T$ contains the unit circle times…

This paper is devoted to the spectral properties of a class of unitary operators with a matrix representation displaying a band structure. Such band matrices appear as monodromy operators in the study of certain quantum dynamical systems.…

Given a self-adjoint operator $T$ on a separable infinite-dimensional Hilbert space we study the problem of characterizing the set $\mathcal D(T)$ of all possible diagonals of $T$. For operators $T$ with at least two points in their…

The characteristic function has been an important tool for studying completely non unitary contractions on Hilbert spaces. In this note, we consider completely non-coisometric contractive tuples of commuting operators on a Hilbert space…

In this paper, we study one of the fundamental notions in dynamical systems, the shadowing of invertible (bounded and linear) operators on a Hilbert space. Although the problem of finding a spectral characterization for shadowing has been…

It is proved recently by Benamara-Nikolski that a contraction having finite defects and spectrum not filling in the closed unit disc, is similar to a normal operator if and only if it has the so-called linear resolvent growth property. We…

An operator $T\in B(H)$ is said to satisfy property ($UW${\scriptsize \it{E}}) if the complement in the approximate point spectrum of the essential approximate point spectrum coincides with the isolated eigenvalues of the spectrum. Via the…

We prove that the spectrum of a Schrodinger operator that is periodic in certain directions and super-exponentially decaying in the others is purely absolutely continuous.

It is proven that the absolutely continuous spectrum of matrix Schr\"{o}dinger operators coincides (with the multiplicity taken into account) with the spectrum of the unperturbed operator if the (matrix) potential is square integrable. The…

We prove that Schr\"odinger operators with meromorphic potentials $(H_{\alpha,\theta}u)_n=u_{n+1}+u_{n-1}+ \frac{g(\theta+n\alpha)}{f(\theta+n\alpha)} u_n$ have purely singular continuous spectrum on the set $\{E:…

The absolutely continuous spectrum of one-dimensional Schr\"odinger operators is proved to be stable under perturbation by potentials satisfying mild decay conditions. In particular, the absolutely continuous spectrum of free and periodic…

In this note, we mainly investigate the validity of the identities $(TT^*)^*=TT^*$ and $(T^*T)^*=T^*T$, where $T$ is a densely defined closable (or symmetric) operator.

Let $A$ and $B$ be compact operators over a topological space $X$ and suppose that these operators are normal and have same distinct eigenvalues at each point. By obstruction theory, we establish a necessary and sufficient condition for $A$…
