Spectral properties of bounded linear operators play a crucial role in several areas of mathematics and physics. For each self-adjoint, trace-class operator $O$ we define a set $\Lambda_n\subset \mathbb{R}$, and we show that it converges to…

We study the spectral problems associated with the finite-difference operators $H_N = 2 \cosh(p) + V_N(x)$, where $V_N(x)$ is an arbitrary polynomial potential of degree $N$. These systems can be regarded as a solvable deformation of the…

We consider the eigenvalues of an elliptic operator for systems with bounded, measurable, and symmetric coefficients. We assume we have two non-empty, open, disjoint, and bounded sets and add a set of small measure to form the perturbed…

We study the approximation of the spectrum of a second-order elliptic differential operator by the Hybrid High-Order (HHO) method. The HHO method is formulated using cell and face unknowns which are polynomials of some degree $k\geq0$. The…

We are interested in the spectrum of the Dirichlet Laplacian in thin broken strips with angle $\alpha$. Playing with symmetries, this leads us to investigate spectral problems for the Laplace operator with mixed boundary conditions in…

We consider a family of manifolds with a class of degenerating warped product metrics $g_\epsilon=\rho(\epsilon,t)^{2a}dt^2 +\rho(\epsilon,t)^{2b}ds_M^2$, with $M$ compact, $\rho$ homogeneous degree one, $a \le -1$ and $b > 0$. We study the…

M.Levitin and E.Shargorodsky purposed in a recent article, [math.SP/0212087], the use of the so called ``second order relative spectrum'', to find eigenvalues of self-adjoint operators in gaps of the essential spectrum. Let $M$ be a…

We develop an analytic perturbation theory for eigenvalues with finite multiplicities, embedded into the essential spectrum of a self-adjoint operator $H$. We assume the existence of another self-adjoint operator $A$ for which the family…

We consider the homogenization of an elliptic spectral problem with a large potential stated in a thin cylinder with a locally periodic perforation. The size of the perforation gradually varies from point to point. We impose homogeneous…

The Bochner-Schr\"odinger operator $H_{p}=\frac 1p\Delta^{L^p}+V$ on high tensor powers $L^p$ of a Hermitian line bundle $L$ on a Riemannian manifold $X$ of bounded geometry is studied under the assumption of non-degeneracy of the curvature…

We study the spectrum of a periodic self-adjoint operator on the axis perturbed by a small localized nonself-adjoint operator. It is shown that the continuous spectrum is independent of the perturbation, the residual spectrum is empty, and…

Consider the Dirichlet-Laplacian in $\Omega:= (0,L)\times (0,H)$ and choose another open set $\omega\subset \Omega$. The estimate $0<C_{\omega}\leq R_{\omega}(u):=\frac{\Vert u\Vert^{2}_{L^{2}(\omega)}}{\Vert u\Vert^{2}_{L^{2}(\Omega)}}\leq…

We investigate the issue of eigenfunction localization in random fractal lattices embedded in two dimensional Euclidean space. In the system of our interest, there is no diagonal disorder -- the disorder arises from random connectivity of…

We consider the spectrum of the Laplace operator on 3D rod structures, with a small cross section depending on a small parameter $\varepsilon$. The boundary conditions are of Dirichlet type on the basis of this structure and Neumann on the…

This paper studies the delocalized regime of an ultrametric random operator whose independent entries have variances decaying in a suitable hierarchical metric on $\mathbb{N}$. When the decay-rate of the off-diagonal variances is…

Random hyperspherical harmonics are Gaussian Laplace eigenfunctions on the unit $d$-sphere ($d\ge 2$). We investigate the distribution of their defect i.e., the difference between the measure of positive and negative regions. Marinucci and…

We consider a singularly perturbed Dirichlet spectral problem for an elliptic operator of second order. The coefficients of the operator are assumed to be locally periodic and oscillating in the scale $\varepsilon$. We describe the leading…

In this paper we consider a Schrodinger eigenvalue problem with a potential consisting of a periodic part together with a compactly supported defect potential. Such problems arise as models in condensed matter to describe color in crystals…
