In this paper we find a new condition on a real periodic potential for which the self-adjoint Schr\"odinger operator may be defined by a quadratic form and the spectrum of the operator is purely absolutely continuous. This is based on…

We introduce and examine the notions of strong $\Delta$-equivalence and strong TRO equivalence for operator spaces. We show that they behave in an analogous way to how strong Morita equivalence does for the category of C*-algebras. In…

Let T:=[T_1,..., T_n] be an n-tuple of operators on a Hilbert space such that T is a completely non-coisometric row contraction. We establish the existence of a "one-to-one" correspondence between the joint invariant subspaces under…

The $p$-adic unitary operator $U$ is defined as an invertible operator on $p$-adic ultrametric Banach space such that $\left |U\right |=\left |U^{-1}\right |=1$. We point out $U$ has a spectral measure valued in $\textbf{projection…

Let theta = p/q with p and q relatively prime and u and v a pair of unitaries such that u v = e^{i theta} v u, where u and v generate the rotation C*-algebra A_theta. Let h_{theta, lambda} = u + u^{-1} + lambda/2(v + v^{-1}) be the almost…

We study the spectral properties of positive absolutely minimum attaining operators defined on infinite dimensional complex Hilbert spaces and using that derive a characterization theorem for such type of operators. We construct several…

A differential operator $T$ satisfies the $L^2$-unique continuation property if every $L^2$-solution of $T$ that vanishes on an open subset vanishes identically. We study the $L^2$-unique continuation property of an operator $T$ acting on a…

We characterize the spectrum and essential spectrum of "essentially linear fractional" composition operators acting on the Hardy space H-two of the open unit disc U. When the symbols of these composition operators have Denjoy-Wolff point on…

Let $H_0$ be a purely absolutely continuous selfadjoint operator acting on some separable infinite-dimensional Hilbert space and $V$ be a compact non-selfadjoint perturbation. We relate the regularity properties of $V$ to various spectral…

We prove that the spectrum of the almost Mathieu operator is absolutely continuous if and only if the coupling is subcritical. This settles Problem 6 of Barry Simon's list of Schr\"odinger operator problems for the twenty-first century.

A classical result of Sz.-Nagy asserts that a Hilbert space contraction operator $T$ can be dilated to a unitary $\cU$. A more general multivariable setting for these ideas is the setup where (i) the unit disk is replaced by a domain…

We consider a 2D Schroedinger operator H0 with constant magnetic field, on a strip of finite width. The spectrum of H0 is absolutely continuous, and contains a discrete set of thresholds. We perturb H0 by an electric potential V which…

We consider a normal operator $T$ on a Hilbert space $H$. Under various assumptions on the spectrum of $T$, we give bounds for the spectrum of $T+A$ where $A$ is $T$-bounded with relative bound less than 1 but we do not assume that $A$ is…

For $0<r<1$, let us consider the following annulus: \[ \mathbb A_r= \{ z\in \mathbb C\, : \, r<|z|<1 \}. \] A Hilbert space operator $T$ for which $\overline{\mathbb A}_r$ is a spectral set is called an $\mathbb A_r$-\textit{contraction}.…

A criterion on the similarity of a (bounded, linear) operator $T$ on a (complex, separable) Hilbert space $\mathcal H$ in terms of shift-type invariant subspaces of $T$ to a contraction of class $C_{\cdot 0}$ with finite unequal defects is…

In this paper we discuss the spectral properties of one-term symmetric differential operators of even order with interior singularity, namely, we determine the deficiency numbers, describe its self-adjoint extensions and their spectrum. It…

In this work the spectral theory of self-adjoint operator $A$ represented by Jacobi matrix is considered. The approach is based on the continued fraction representation of the resolvent matrix element of $A$. Different criteria of absolute…

Let $a$ and $b$ be elements in the closed ball of a unital C$^*$-algebra $A$ (if $A$ is not unital we consider its natural unitization). We shall say that $a$ and $b$ are domain (respectively, range) absolutely compatible ($a\triangle_d b$,…

In the smooth scattering theory framework, we consider a pair of self-adjoint operators $H_0$, $H$ and discuss the spectral projections of these operators corresponding to the interval $(-\infty,\lambda)$. The purpose of the paper is to…

We show that single-valuation exponential kernels, under mild regularity assumptions, converge in the continuum limit to a fourth-order operator with heat asymptotics $\Theta(t)\sim t^{-1/4}$ and hence spectral dimension $d_s=\tfrac12$.…
