A semibounded operator or relation $S$ in a Hilbert space with lower bound $m \in {\mathbb R}$ has a symmetric extension $S_{\rm f}=S {\, \widehat + \,} (\{0\} \times {\rm mul\,} S^*)$, the weak Friedrichs extension of $S$, and a…

We develop a general technique for finding self-adjoint extensions of a symmetric operator that respect a given set of its symmetries. Problems of this type naturally arise when considering two- and three-dimensional Schr\"odinger operators…

The paper is devoted to operators given formally by the expression \begin{equation*} -\partial_x^2+\big(\alpha-\frac14\big)x^{-2}. \end{equation*} This expression is homogeneous of degree minus 2. However, when we try to realize it as a…

We give an example of an operator with different weak and strong absolutely continuous subspaces, and a counterexample to the duality problem for the spectral components. Both examples are optimal in the scale of compact operators.

We study 1D discrete Schr\"odinger operators $H$ with integer-valued potential and show that, $(i)$, invertibility (in fact, even just Fredholmness) of $H$ always implies invertibility of its half-line compression $H_+$ (zero Dirichlet…

We obtain bounds on the complex eigenvalues of non-self-adjoint Schr\"odinger operators with complex potentials, and also on the complex resonances of self-adjoint Schr\"odinger operators. Our bounds are compared with numerical results, and…

In this article we consider asymptotics for the spectral function of Schr\"odinger operators on the real line. Let $P:L^2(\mathbb{R})\to L^2(\mathbb{R})$ have the form $$ P:=-\tfrac{d^2}{dx^2}+W, $$ where $W$ is a self-adjoint first order…

We investigate the connections between Weyl-Titchmarsh-Kodaira theory for one-dimensional Schr\"odinger operators and the theory of $n$-entire operators. As our main result we find a necessary and sufficient condition for a one-dimensional…

In this note, we study existence of the outgoing/incoming resolvents of repulsive Schr\"odinger operators which may not be essentially self-adjoint on the Schwartz space. Moreover, we recover the classical result: The repulsive…

We relax assumptions for a dissipative operator in Krein space to possess a maximal non-negative invariant subspace. Our main result is a generalization of a well-known Pontrjagin-Krein-Langer-Azizov theorem. Then we investigate the…

We exhibit limit-periodic Schr\"odinger operators that are uniformly localized in the strongest sense possible. That is, for these operators there are uniform exponential decay rates such that every element of the hull has a complete set of…

For the example of the infinitely deep well potential, we point out some paradoxes which are solved by a careful analysis of what is a truly self-adjoint operator. We then describe the self-adjoint extensions and their spectra for the…

This is an expository paper about self-adjoint extensions of the Laplacian on R^d, initially defined on functions supported away from a point. Let L be the Laplacian with domain smooth functions with compact support away from the origin. We…

We prove new criteria of stability of the absolutely continuous spectrum of one-dimensional Schr\"odinger operators under slowly decaying perturbations. As applications, we show that the absolutely continuous spectrum of the free and…

We discuss the Hamiltonian for a nonrelativistic electron with spin in the presence of an abelian magnetic monopole and note that it is not self-adjoint in the lowest two angular momentum modes. We then use von Neumann's theory of…

Let $\gH$ be a Hilbert space and let $A$ be a simple symmetric operator in $\gH$ with equal deficiency indices $d:=n_\pm(A)<\infty$. We show that if, for all $\l$ in an open interval $I\subset\bR$, the dimension of defect subspaces…

The spectrum of a Schr\"odinger operator with periodic potential generally consists of bands and gaps. In this paper, for fixed m, we consider the problem of maximizing the gap-to-midgap ratio for the m-th spectral gap over the class of…

We consider operator-valued Herglotz functions and their applications to self-adjoint perturbations of self-adjoint operators and self-adjoint extensions of densely defined closed symmetric operators. Our applications include model…
