In contrast to the classical complex spectral theory, where the spectrum is related to the invertibility of $\lambda-A:D(A)\subseteq X_\mathbb{C}\rightarrow X_\mathbb{C}$, in the noncommutative quaternionic $S$-spectral theory one uses the…
In this paper we study the $\nu$-continuity of the spectrum and some of its parts. We show that the approximate point spectrum $\sigma_{ap}$ is upper semi-$\nu$-continuous at every Fredholm operator, then we give sufficient conditions to…
We discuss an application of the transfer operator approach to the analysis of the different spectral characteristics of 1d random band matrices (correlation functions of characteristic polynomials, density of states, spectral correlation…
Global symmetries can be generalised to transformations generated by topological operators, including cases in which the topological operator does not have an inverse. A family of such topological operators are intimately related to…
The absolutely continuous spectrum of one-dimensional Schr\"odinger operators is proved to be stable under perturbation by potentials satisfying mild decay conditions. In particular, the absolutely continuous spectrum of free and periodic…
A bounded operator $u$ on $X$ is called rigid when there is an increasing sequence of positive integers $(n_k)_{k\geq 1}$, such that for every $x$ in $X$ we have $\lim_{k \rightarrow +\infty} u^{n_k} x = x$. For any $r$ in $[0,1]$, we…
In the first part of this manuscript a relationship between the spectrum of self-adjoint operator matrices and the spectra of their diagonal entries is found. This leads to enclosures for spectral points and in particular, enclosures for…
I study the two-dimensional defects of the $d$ dimensional critical $O(N)$ model and the defect RG flows between them. By combining the $\epsilon$-expansion around $d = 4$ and $d = 6$ as well as large $N$ techniques, I find new conformal…
Superconformal field theories (SCFT) are known to possess solvable yet nontrivial sectors in their full operator algebras. Two prime examples are the chiral algebra sector on a two dimensional plane in four dimensional $\mathcal{N}=2$…
We construct multidimensional Schr\"odinger operators with a spectrum that has no gaps at high energies and that is nowhere dense at low energies. This gives the first example for which this widely expected topological structure of the…
In this article we discuss a few spectral properties of a paranormal closed operator (not necessarily bounded) defined in a Hilbert space. This class contains closed symmetric operators. First we show that the spectrum of such an operator…
We show that every self--adjoint matrix B of trace 0 can be realized as B=T+T^* for a nilpotent matrix T of norm no greater than K times the norm of B, for a constant K that is independent of matrix size. More particularly, if D is a…
We study the effect of non-negative potentials on the spectral gap of one-dimensional Schr\"odinger operators in the limit of large intervals. In particular, we derive upper and lower bounds on the gap for different classes of potentials…
Building on work on Miura's transformation by Kappeler, Perry, Shubin, and Topalov, we develop a detailed spectral theoretic treatment of Schr\"odinger operators with matrix-valued potentials, with special emphasis on distributional…
We study the entanglement spectrum (ES) of two-dimensional $C_{n}$-symmetric second-order topological insulators (TIs). We show that some characteristic higher order topological observables, e.g., the filling anomaly and its associated…
Burgos, Kaidi, Mbekhta and Oudghiri provided an affirmative answer to a question of Kaashoek and Lay and proved that an operator $F$ is power finite rank if and only if $\sigma_{dsc}(T+F) =\sigma_{dsc}(T)$ for every operator $T$ commuting…
Let $T$ be a linear operator on an $\mathbb{F}_q$-vector space $V$ of dimension $n$. For any divisor $m$ of $n$, an $m$-dimensional subspace $W$ of $V$ is $T$-splitting if $$ V =W\oplus TW\oplus \cdots \oplus T^{d-1}W, $$ where $d=n/m$. Let…
We develop a principal trace and generalized index formula for a Dirac-Schr\"odinger operator $D$ on open space of odd dimension $d\geq 3$ with a potential given by a family of self-adjoint unbounded operators acting on a infinite…
We survey results concerning the spectral properties of limit-periodic operators. The main focus is on discrete one-dimensional Schr\"odinger operators, but other classes of operators, such as Jacobi and CMV matrices, continuum…
We provide a representation of the $C^*$-algebra generated by multidimensional integral operators with piecewise constant kernels and discrete ergodic operators. This representation allows us to find the spectrum and to construct the…
