We consider different variants of factorization of a 2x2 matrix Schroedinger/Pauli operator in two spatial dimensions. They allow to relate its spectrum to the sum of spectra of two scalar Schroedinger operators, in a manner similar to…

For a proper function $f$ on the plane, we study the operator \[ Tf(x,y) = \lim_{\varepsilon\to 0} \int_\varepsilon^1 f(x-t,y-t^k) \frac{e^{2\pi i \gamma(t)}}{\psi(t)} dt, \] where $k\ge1$ and $\psi$ and $\gamma$ are functions defined near…

If $\phi$ is a submeasure satisfying an appropriate lower estimate we give a quantitative result on the total mass of a measure $\mu$ satisfying $0\le\mu\le\phi.$ We give a dual result for supermeasures and then use these results to…

We develop techniques for determining the fibers of a morphism of curves $\phi: C \to D$ over a nonarchimedean local field $K$. These results have applications to studying closed point on curves over global fields since closed points on $C$…

We derive raising and lowering operators for orthogonal polynomials on the unit circle and find second order differential and $q$-difference equations for these polynomials. A general functional equation is found which allows one to relate…

We study the nonlinearity of functions defined on a finite field with 2^m elements which are the trace of a polynomial of degree 7 or more general polynomials. We show that for m odd such functions have rather good nonlinearity properties.…

Let $T\colon X\to X$ be a bounded operator on Banach space, whose spectrum $\sigma(T)$ is included in the closed unit disc $\overline{\mathbb D}$. Assume that the peripheral spectrum $\sigma(T)\cap{\mathbb T}$ is finite and that $T$…
