We use ergodic theory to prove a quantitative version of a theorem of M. A. Berger and Y. Wang, which relates the joint spectral radius of a set of matrices to the spectral radii of finite products of those matrices. The proof rests on a…
We study one-dimensional random Jacobi operators corresponding to strictly ergodic dynamical systems. In this context, we characterize the spectrum of these operators by non-uniformity of the transfer matrices and the set where the Lyapunov…
We use the classical results of Baxter and Gollinski-Ibragimov to prove a new spectral equivalence for Jacobi matrices on $l^2(\N)$. In particular, we consider the class of Jacobi matrices with conditionally summable parameter sequences and…
We study the orthogonal polynomials associated with the equilibrium measure, in logarithmic potential theory, living on the attractor of an Iterated Function System. We construct sequences of discrete measures, that converge weakly to the…
A commonly used approach to study stability in a complex system is by analyzing the Jacobian matrix at an equilibrium point of a dynamical system. The equilibrium point is stable if all eigenvalues have negative real parts. Here, by…
The Jacobi ensemble is one of the classical ensembles of random matrix theory. Prominent in applications are properties of the eigenvalues at the spectrum edge, specifically the distribution of the largest (e.g. Roy's largest root test in…
The discrete spectrum of complex Jacobi matrices that are compact perturbations of the discrete laplacian is under consideration. The rate of stabilization for the the matrix entries which provides finiteness of the discrete spectrum and is…
We study Jacobi matrices on trees whose coefficients are generated by multiple orthogonal polynomials. Hilbert space decomposition into an orthogonal sum of cyclic subspaces is obtained. For each subspace, we find generators and the…
The property that a Jacobi matrix is reflectionless is usually characterized either in terms of Weyl m-functions or the vanishing of the real part of the boundary values of the diagonal matrix elements of the resolvent. We introduce a…
We are interested in the phenomenon of the essential spectrum instability for a class of unbounded (block) Jacobi matrices. We give a series of sufficient conditions for the matrices from certain classes to have a discrete spectrum on a…
In recent studies on the G-convergence of Beltrami operators, a number of issues arouse concerning injectivity properties of families of quasiconformal mappings. Bojarski, D'Onofrio, Iwaniec and Sbordone formulated a conjecture based on the…
This short note contains an explicit proof of the Jacobi identity for variational Schouten bracket in $Z_2$-graded commutative setup. For the reasoning to be rigorous, it refers to the product bundle geometry of iterated variations (see…
We consider matrices on infinite trees which are universal covers of Jacobi matrices on finite graphs. We are interested in the question of the existence of sequences of finite covers whose normalized eigenvalue counting measures converge…
We locate gaps in the spectrum of a Hamiltonian on a periodic cuboidal (and generally hyperrectangular) lattice graph with $\delta$ couplings in the vertices. We formulate sufficient conditions under which the number of gaps is finite. As…
In this work the spectral theory of self-adjoint operator $A$ represented by Jacobi matrix is considered. The approach is based on the continued fraction representation of the resolvent matrix element of $A$. Different criteria of absolute…
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…
An explicit expression for the Jacobi metric for a general Lagrangian system is obtained as a series expansion in the square root of the kinetic energy of the system and the corresponding geodesics are described in terms of an appropriate…
We study the gap properties of nearest neighbors tight binding models on quasiperiodic chains. We argue that two kind of gaps should be distinguished: stable and transient. We show that stable gaps have a well defined quasiperiodic limit.…
Motivated by Sarnak's conjecture on M\"obius orthogonality, we investigate the general problem of orthogonality for a bounded sequence to topological models of characteristic classes of measure-preserving automorphisms. Our main observation…
