This study revisits the problem of advective transfer and spectra of a diffusive scalar field in large-scale incompressible flows in the presence of a (large-scale) source. By ``large-scale'' it is meant that the spectral support of the…

Let $H_0$ and $H$ be a pair of self-adjoint operators satisfying some standard assumptions of scattering theory. It is known from previous work that if $\lambda$ belongs to the absolutely continuous spectrum of $H_0$ and $H$, then the…

We outline a recently developed theory of impedance-matching, or reflectionless excitation of arbitrary finite photonic structures in any dimension. It describes the necessary and sufficient conditions for perfectly reflectionless…

Let $E$ be a complex Banach lattice and $T$ is an operator in the centrum $Z(E)=\{T: |T|\le \lambda I \mbox{ for some } \lambda\}$ of $E$. Then the essential norm $\|T\|_{e}$ of $T$ equals the essential spectral radius $r_{e}(T)$ of $T$. We…

A model operator $H$ associated to a system describing four particles in interaction, without conservation of the number of particles, is considered. We describe the essential spectrum of $H$ by the spectrum of the channel operators and…

The Vafa-Witten equations (with or without a mass term) constitute a non-linear, first order system of differential equations on a given oriented, compact, Riemannian 4-manifold. Because these are the variational equations of a functional,…

We consider continuum random Schr\"odinger operators of the type $H_{\omega} = -\Delta + V_0 + V_{\omega}$ with a deterministic background potential $V_0$. We establish criteria for the absence of continuous and absolutely continuous…

We study the spectra of emission of a system composed by an atom, tightly confined inside a high-finesse resonator, when the atom is driven by a laser and is at steady state of the cooling dynamics induced by laser and cavity field. In…

Let $A$ be a square random matrix of size $n$, with mean zero, independent but not identically distributed entries, with variance profile $S$. When entries are i.i.d. with unit variance, the spectral radius of $n^{-1/2}A$ converges to $1$…

Assume that $T_1,T_2$ are equivalent Schauder operators. In this paper, we show that even in this case their Schauder spectrum may be very different in the view of operator theory. In fact, we get that if a self-adjoint Schauder operator…

If X is a contact Anosov vector field on a smooth compact manifold M and V is a smooth function on M, it is known that the differential operator A=-X+V has some discrete spectrum called Ruelle-Pollicott resonances in specific Sobolev…

We consider the plasmonic eigenvalue problem for a general 2D domain with a curvilinear corner, studying the spectral theory of the Neumann--Poincar\'e operator of the boundary. A limiting absorption principle is proved, valid when the…

The spectral properties of the Frobenius-Perron operator of one-dimensional maps are studied when approaching a weakly intermittent situation. Numerical investigation of a particular family of maps shows that the spectrum becomes extremely…

We prove that a bounded linear Hilbert space operator has the unit circle in its essential approximate point spectrum if and only if it admits an orbit satisfying certain orthogonality and almost-orthogonality relations. This result is…

We consider the 3D Schr\"odinger operator $H = H_0 + V$ where $H_0 = (-i\nabla - A)^2$, $A$ is a magnetic potential generating a constant magnetic field of strength $b>0$, and $V$ is a short-range electric potential which decays…

Suppose that c is a linear operator acting on an n-dimensional complex Hilbert Space H, and let tau denote the normalized trace on B(H). Set b_1 = (c+c*)/2 and b_2 = (c-c*)/2i, and write B for the the spectral scale of {b_1, b_2} with…

Informed by LES data and resolvent analysis of the mean flow, we examine the structure of turbulence in jets in the subsonic, transonic, and supersonic regimes. Spectral (frequency-space) proper orthogonal decomposition is used to extract…

Band theory provides the foundation for understanding electronic structure in crystalline materials, but its reliance on exact translational symmetry limits its applicability to systems with defects, disorder, incommensurate modulations, or…

We determine the essential spectrum of Hamiltonians with N-body type interactions that have radial limits at infinity. This extends the HVZ-theorem, which treats perturbations of the Laplacian by potentials that tend to zero at infinity.…
