I present an example of a discrete Schr"odinger operator that shows that it is possible to have embedded singular spectrum and, at the same time, discrete eigenvalues that approach the edges of the essential spectrum (much) faster than…

We consider an algebra $\mathscr A$ of Fourier integral operators on $\mathbb R^n$. It consists of all operators $D: \mathscr S(\mathbb R^n)\to \mathscr S(\mathbb R^n)$ on the Schwartz space $\mathscr S(\mathbb R^n)$ that can be written as…

For $\xi \in \big(0, {1/2} \big)$, we denote by $E_{\xi}$ the perfect symmetric set associated to $\xi$, that is $$ E_{\xi} = \Big\{\exp \big(2i \pi (1-\xi) \dsp \sum_{n = 1}^{+\infty} \epsilon_{n} \xi^{n-1} \big) : \epsilon_{n} = 0…

We survey the notion of the spectral shift function of a pair of self-adjoint operators and recent progress on its connection with the Witten index. We also describe a proof of Krein's Trace Theorem that does not use complex analysis [53]…

This largely pedagogical paper recalls some facts on defect numbers of products of closed operators employing results from the theory of semi-Fredholm operators and then applies these facts to positive integer powers of symmetric operators…

Let $\lambda$ be a complex number in the closed unit disc $\overline{\Bbb D}$, and $\cal H$ be a separable Hilbert space with the orthonormal basis, say, ${\cal E}=\{e_n:n=0,1,2,\cdots\}$. A bounded operator $T$ on $\cal H$ is called a…

We study the multi-dimensional operator $(H_x u)_n=\sum_{|m-n|=1}u_{m}+f(T^n(x))u_n$, where $T$ is the shift of the torus $\T^d$. When $d=2$, we show the spectrum of $H_x$ is almost surely purely continuous for a.e. $\alpha$ and generic…

This paper considers $N\times N$ matrices of the form $A_\gamma =A+ \gamma B$, where $A$ is self-adjoint, $\gamma \in C$ and $B$ is a non-self-adjoint perturbation of $A$. We obtain some monodromy-type results relating the spectral…
