In dimension greater than or equal to three, we investigate the spectrum of a Schr{\"o}dinger operator with a $\delta$-interaction supported on a cone whose cross section is the sphere of co-dimension two. After decomposing into fibers, we…

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]…

We consider a non-selfadjoint Dirac-type differential expression \begin{equation} D(Q)y:= J_n \frac{dy}{dx} + Q(x)y, \quad\quad\quad (1) \end{equation} with a non-selfadjoint potential matrix $Q \in L^1_{loc}({\mathcal…

In this article Dirac operators $A_{\eta, \tau}$ coupled with combinations of electrostatic and Lorentz scalar $\delta$-shell interactions of constant strength $\eta$ and $\tau$, respectively, supported on compact surfaces $\Sigma \subset…

We use a model operator approach and the spectral theorem for self-adjoint operators in a Hilbert space to derive the basic results of abstract left-definite theory in a straightforward manner. The theory is amply illustrated with a variety…

We consider a singular Schr\"odinger operator in $L^2(\mathbb{R}^2)$ written formally as $-\Delta - \beta\delta(x-\gamma)$ where $\gamma$ is a $C^4$ smooth open arc in $\mathbb{R}^2$ of length $L$ with regular ends. It is shown that the…

John Lott defined an integer-valued signature $\sigma_{S^1}(M)$ for the orbit space of a compact orientable manifold with a semi-free $S^1$-action but he did not construct a Dirac-type operator which has this signature as its index. We…

A $p$-adic Schr\"{o}dinger-type operator $D^{\alpha}+V_Y$ is studied. $D^{\alpha}$ ($\alpha>0$) is the operator of fractional differentiation and $V_Y=\sum_{i,j=1}^nb_{ij}<\delta_{x_j}, \cdot>\delta_{x_i}$ $(b_{ij}\in\mathbb{C})$ is a…

This paper is the first of a series where we study the spectral properties of Dirac operators with the Coulomb potential generated by any finite signed charge distribution $\mu$. We show here that the operator has a unique distinguished…

Spectral boundary conditions for Laplace-type operators, of interest in string and brane theory, are partly Dirichlet, partly Neumann-type conditions, partitioned by a pseudodifferential projection. We give sufficient conditions for…

Let $L$ be a non-negative self-adjoint operator acting on the space $L^2(X)$, where $X$ is a metric measure space. Let ${ L}=\int_0^{\infty} \lambda dE_{ L}({\lambda})$ be the spectral resolution of ${ L}$ and $S_R({ L})f=\int_0^R dE_{…

The spectral eta function for certain families of Dirac operators on noncommutative $3$-torus is considered and the regularity at zero is proved. By using variational techniques, we show that $\eta_{D}(0)$ is a conformal invariant. By…

This work develops an analytic framework for the study of the $\zeta$-function associated with general sequences of complex numbers. We show that a contour integral representation, commonly used when studying spectral $\zeta$-functions…

We prove an abstract criterion on spectral instability of nonnegative selfadjoint extensions of a symmetric operator and apply this to self-adjoint Neumann Laplacians on bounded Lipschitz domains, intervals, and graphs. Our results can be…

Normality of the Dirac operator is shown to be necessary for chiral properties. From the global chiral Ward identity, which in the continuum limit gives the index theorem, a sum rule results which constrains the spectrum. The…

In connection with the Fuglede conjecture, we study the existence of commuting self-adjoint extensions of the partial differential operators on arbitrary, possibly disconnected domains in $\br^d$, the associated unitary group, the spectral…

The construction of Dirac delta type potentials has been achieved with the use of the theory of self adjoint extensions of non-self adjoint formally Hermitian (symmetric) operators. The application of this formalism to investigate the…

We consider a second order self-adjoint operator in a domain which can be bounded or unbounded. The boundary is partitioned into two parts with Dirichlet boundary condition on one of them, and Neumann condition on the other. We assume that…
