Quasiperiodic Jacobi operators arise as mathematical models of quasicrystals and in more general studies of structures exhibiting aperiodic order. The spectra of these self-adjoint operators can be quite exotic, such as Cantor sets, and…

A discrete analogue of a Schrodinger type operator proposed by J. Bellissard has a singular continuous spectrum. In this remark we answer the conjecture formulated by D. Bessis, M. Mehta and P. Moussa on the coefficients of that operator.…

In this paper we define a new class of metric spaces, called multi-model Cantor sets. We compute the Hausdorff dimension and show that the Hausdorff measure of a multi-model Cantor set is finite and non-zero. We then show that a bilipschitz…

We look at periodic Jacobi matrices on trees. We provide upper and lower bounds on the gap of such operators analogous to the well known gap in the spectrum of the Laplacian on the upper half-plane with hyperbolic metric. We make some…

This paper considers efficient spectral solutions for weakly singular nonlocal diffusion equations with Dirichlet-type volume constraints. The equation we consider contains an integral operator that typically has a singularity at the…

We consider Jacobi matrices whose essential spectrum is a finite union of closed intervals. We focus on Szego's theorem, Jost solutions, and Szego asymptotics for this situation. This announcement describes talks the authors gave at OPSFA…

We study the sigma-finite measures in the space of vector-valued distributions on the manifold $X$ with Laplace transform $$\Psi(f)=\exp\{-\theta\int_X\ln||f(x)||dx\}, \theta>0.$$ We also consider the weak limit of Haar measures on the…

Let $\mathcal{A}$ and $\mathcal{B}$ be unital finite-dimensional complex algebras, each equipped with the unique Hausdorff vector topology. Denote by $\mathrm{Max}(\mathcal{A})=\{\mathcal{M}_1, \ldots, \mathcal{M}_p\}$ and…

We investigate the spectral properties of the discrete one-dimensional Schr\"odinger operators whose potentials are generated by continuous sampling along the orbits of a minimal translation of a Cantor group. We show that for given Cantor…

We consider $\beta$-Jacobi ensembles with parameters $p_1, p_2\geq n.$ We prove that the empirical measure of the rescaled Jacobi ensembles converges weakly to a modified Watcher law via the spectral measure method, which revisits the weak…

We consider perturbations of quasi-periodic Schr\"odinger operators on the integer lattice with analytic sampling functions by decaying potentials and seek decay conditions under which various spectral properties are preserved. In the…

We relate asymptotics of Jacobi parameters to asymptotics of the spectral weights near the edges. Typical of our results is that for $a_n\equiv 1$, $b_n =-C n^{-\beta}$ ($0<\beta< \frac23)$, one has $d\mu(x)= w(x) dx$ on $(-2,2)$, and near…

We consider ergodic Jacobi operators and obtain estimates on the Lebesgue measure and the distance between maximum and minimum points of the spectrum in terms of the Lyapunov exponent. Our proofs are based on results from logarithmic…

We introduce a class of doubly infinite complex Jacobi matrices determined by a simple convergence condition imposed on the diagonal and off-diagonal sequences. For each Jacobi matrix belonging to this class, an analytic function, called a…
