The main issues of the spectral theory of Dirac operators are presented, namely: transformation operators, asymptotics of eigenvalues and eigenfunctions, description of symmetric and self-adjoint operators in Hilbert space, expansion in…
The recently introduced concept of a spectral shift operator is applied in several instances. Explicit applications include Krein's trace formula for pairs of self-adjoint operators, the Birman-Solomyak spectral averaging formula and its…
In the spirit of Arthur's trace formula, we establish a general trace formula for symmetric spaces associated with the variety of involutions of a finite $D$-module where $D$ is a division algebra central over a number field $F$. Such a…
John von Neumann's spectral theorem for self-adjoint operators is a cornerstone of quantum mechanics. Among other things, it also provides a connection between expectation values of self-adjoint operators and expected values of real-valued…
We consider a simple model of partially expanding map on the torus. We study the spectrum of the Ruelle transfer operator and show that in the limit of high frequencies in the neutral direction (this is a semiclassical limit), the spectrum…
We study nonlinear dynamics of the Earth's tropical climate system. For that, we apply a recently developed technique for feature extraction and mode decomposition of spatiotemporal data generated by ergodic dynamical systems. The method…
We study homotopy-coherent commutative multiplicative structures on equivariant spaces and spectra. We define N-infinity operads, equivariant generalizations of E-infinity operads. Algebras in equivariant spectra over an N-infinity operad…
Semi-invertible multiplicative ergodic theorems establish the existence of an Oseledets splitting for cocycles of non-invertible linear operators (such as transfer operators) over an invertible base. Using a constructive approach, we…
Let $H_0$, $H$ be a pair of self-adjoint operators for which the standard assumptions of the smooth version of scattering theory hold true. We give an explicit description of the absolutely continuous spectrum of the operator…
The article is devoted to the following question. Consider a periodic self-adjoint difference (differential) operator on a graph (quantum graph) G with a co-compact free action of the integer lattice Z^n. It is known that a local…
We consider piecewise expanding maps of the interval with finitely many branches of monotonicity and show that they are generically combinatorially stable, i.e., the number of ergodic attractors and their corresponding mixing periods do not…
The goal of this note is to study the spectrum of a self-adjoint convolution operator in $L^2(\mathbb R^d)$ with an integrable kernel that is perturbed by an essentially bounded real-valued potential tending to zero at infinity. We show…
We define a monodromy, directly from the spectrum of small non-selfadjoint perturbations of a selfadjoint semiclassical operator with two degrees of freedom, which is classically integrable. It is a combinatorial invariant that obstructs…
We consider topological dynamical systems over $\ZZ$ and, more generally, locally compact, $\sigma$-compact abelian groups. We relate spectral theory and diffraction theory. We first use a a recently developed general framework of…
A wave function of the $N$-component KP Hierarchy with continuous flows determined by an invertible matrix $H$ is constructed from the choice of an $MN$-dimensional space of finitely-supported vector distributions. This wave function is…
We present a general homotopical analysis of structured diagram spaces and discuss the relation to symmetric spectra. The main motivating examples are the I-spaces, which are diagrams indexed by finite sets and injections, and J-spaces,…
A periodic linear graph operator acts on states (functions) defined on the vertices of a graph equipped with a free translation action. Fourier transform with respect to the translation group reveals the central spectral objects, Bloch and…
We give a refined description of the dominant spectrum of a non-local operator that models growth and equal mitosis of cells. More precisely we look at the spectrum in half planes at the right hand side of the first accumulation point of…
We study classical continuous automorphisms of the torus (cat maps) from the viewpoint of the Koopman theory. We find analytical formulae for Koopman modes defined coherently on the whole of the torus, and their decompositions associated…
Spectral decompositions for the evolution operator on an energy shell in phase space are constructed for the free motion on compact 2D surfaces of constant negative curvature. Applications to quantum chaos and in particular to the recently…
