In this paper we show weak convergence of the empirical eigenvalue distribution and of the weighted spectral measure of the Jacobi ensemble, when one or both parameters grow faster than the dimension $n$. In these cases the limit measure is…
We study spaces of reflectionless Jacobi matrices. The main theme is the following type of question: Given a reflectionless Jacobi matrix, is it possible to approximate it by other reflectionless and, typically, simpler Jacobi matrices of a…
We study the stability of the extended Morse index, defined as the number of negative and zero eigenvalues of the Jacobi operator, for sequences of harmonic maps on degenerating Riemann surfaces. As the conformal structure approaches the…
We prove that on the spectrum the integrated density of states (IDS for short) of periodic Jacobi matrices is related to the discriminant. The method is to count the number of generalized zeros of Bloch wave solutions.
In this note, we consider a physical system given by a two-dimensional quantum walk in an external magnetic field. In this setup, we show that both the topological structure as well as its type depend sensitively on the value of the…
We consider Jacobi matrices with eventually increasing sequences of diagonal and off-diagonal Jacobi parameters. We describe the asymptotic behavior of the subordinate solution at the top of the essential spectrum, and the asymptotic…
For a compact set $K\subset \mathbb{R}^1$ and a family $\{C_\lambda\}_{\lambda\in J}$ of dynamically defined Cantor sets sufficiently close to affine with $\text{dim}_H\, K+\text{dim}_H\, C_\lambda>1$ for all $\lambda\in J$, under natural…
It is well-known that entire functions whose spectrum belongs to a fixed bounded set $S$ admit real uniformly discrete uniqueness sets $\Lambda$. We show that the same is true for much wider spaces of continuous functions. In particular,…
Let $\fre\subset\bbR$ be a finite union of $\ell+1$ disjoint closed intervals and denote by $\omega_j$ the harmonic measure of the $j$ leftmost bands. The frequency module for $\fre$ is the set of all integral combinations of $\omega_1,...,…
We perform the spectral analysis of a family of Jacobi operators $J(\alpha)$ depending on a complex parameter $\alpha$. If $|\alpha|\neq1$ the spectrum of $J(\alpha)$ is discrete and formulas for eigenvalues and eigenvectors are established…
For the random eigenvalues with density corresponding to the Jacobi ensemble $$c \cdot \prod_{i < j} | \lambda_i - \lambda_j |^\beta \prod^n_{i=1} (2 - \lambda_i)^a (2 + \lambda_i)^b I_{(-2,2)} (\lambda_i) $$ $(a, b > -1, \beta > 0) $ a…
We consider transformations preserving a contracting foliation, such that the associated quotient map satisfies a Lasota-Yorke inequality. We prove that the associated transfer operator, acting on suitable normed spaces, has a spectral gap…
It is well known that a purely unrectifiable set cannot support a harmonic measure which is absolutely continuous with respect to the Hausdorff measure of this set. We show that nonetheless there exist elliptic operators on (purely…
We study the spectral properties of discrete Schr\"odinger operators with potentials given by primitive invertible substitution sequences (or by Sturmian sequences whose rotation angle has an eventually periodic continued fraction…
This work identifies a solvable (in the sense that spectral correlation functions can be expressed in terms of orthogonal polynomials), rotationally invariant random matrix ensemble with a logarithmic weakly confining potential. The…
This paper is devoted to the spectral properties of a class of unitary operators with a matrix representation displaying a band structure. Such band matrices appear as monodromy operators in the study of certain quantum dynamical systems.…
In this paper we consider strata of flat metrics coming from quadratic differentials (semi-translation structures) on surfaces of finite type. We provide a necessary and sufficient condition for a set of simple closed curves to be…
We consider periodic matrix-valued Jacobi operators. The spectrum of this operator is absolutely continuous and consists of intervals separated by gaps. We define the Lyapunov function, which is analytic on an associated Riemann surface. On…
The $J$-matrix method is extended to difference and $q$-difference operators and is applied to several explicit differential, difference, $q$-difference and second order Askey-Wilson type operators. The spectrum and the spectral measures…
In this paper we study spectral properties of Jacobi operators. In particular, we prove two main results: (1) that perturbing the diagonal coefficients of Jacobi operator, in an appropriate sense, results in exponential localization, and…
