We describe the general qualitative behaviour of the resolvent norm for a very wide class of non-self-adjoint Schroedinger operators in the semi-classical regime, as the spectral parameter varies over the complex plane.

We prove a semiclassical resolvent estimate for a broad class of non-self-adjoint, non-elliptic pseudodifferential operators in the low-lying spectral regime. The proof relies on improved ellipticity properties for the symbol of the…

We study the generator $G$ of the one-dimensional damped wave equation with unbounded damping. We show that the norm of the corresponding resolvent operator, $\| (G - \lambda)^{-1} \|$, is approximately constant as $|\lambda| \to +\infty$…

We study one-dimensional Schr\"odinger operators $\operatorname{H} = -\partial_x^2 + V$ with unbounded complex potentials $V$ and derive asymptotic estimates for the norm of the resolvent, $\Psi(\lambda) := \| (\operatorname{H} -…

We consider a non-self-adjoint $h$-pseudodifferential operator $P$ in the semi-classical limit ($h\to 0$). If $p$ is the leading symbol, then under suitable assumptions about the behaviour of $p$ at infinity, we know that the resolvent…

This chapter deals with the notion of the resolvent of a self-adjoint operator. We pay special attention to the convergence of unbounded self-adjoint operators in several resolvent senses, and how they are related to the convergence of…

We consider the resolvent $(\lambda-a)^{-1}$ of any $R$-diagonal operator $a$ in a $\mathrm{II}_1$-factor. Our main theorem gives a universal asymptotic formula for the norm of such a resolvent. En route to its proof, we calculate the…

We consider a suitable extension of the complex Airy operator, $-d^2/dx^2 + ix$, on the real line with a transmission boundary condition at the origin. We provide a rigorous definition of this operator and study its spectral properties. In…

The paper studies a bounded symmetric operator ${\mathbf{A}}_\varepsilon$ in $L_2(\mathbf{R}^d)$ with $$ ({\mathbf{A}}_\varepsilon u) (x) = \varepsilon^{-d-2} \int_{\mathbf{R}^d} a((x-y)/\varepsilon) \mu(x/\varepsilon, y/\varepsilon) \left(…

In this paper we explore a certain class of non-selfadjoint operators acting in a complex separable Hilbert space. We consider a perturbation of a non-selfadjoint operator by an operator that is also non-selfadjoint. Our consideration is…

We consider resolvents of operators taking the form ${\bf A}=\Gamma_1{\bf B}\Gamma_1$ where $\Gamma_1({\bf k})$ is a projection that acts locally in Fourier space and ${\bf B}({\bf x})$ is an operator that acts locally in real space. Such…

We study the model operator $\mathbf{D}_{\mathbf{A}} = (d/dt) + \mathbf{A}$ in $L^2(\mathbb{R};\mathcal{H})$ associated with the operator path $\{A(t)\}_{t=-\infty}^{\infty}$, where $(\mathbf{A} f)(t) = A(t) f(t)$ for a.e.\…

We study resolvent estimates for non-selfadjoint semiclassical pseudodifferential operators with double characteristics. Assuming that the quadratic approximation along the double characteristics is elliptic, we obtain polynomial upper…

For $a,\alpha>0$ let $E(a,\alpha)$ be the set of all compact operators $A$ on a separable Hilbert space such that $s_n(A)=O(\exp(-an^\alpha))$, where $s_n(A)$ denotes the $n$-th singular number of $A$. We provide upper bounds for the norm…

Using a generalisation of the classical notion of Dirichlet-to-Neumann map and the related formulae for the resolvents of boundary-value problems, we analyse the asymptotic behaviour of solutions to a "transmission problem" for a…

We address the problem on the right definition of the Schroedinger operator with potential $\delta'$, where $\delta$ is the Dirac delta-function. Namely, we prove the uniform resolvent convergence of a family of Schroedinger operators with…

For relatively form-compact perturbations of non-negative selfadjoint operators, we obtain an upper bound on the number of discrete eigenvalues in half-planes separated from the positive real axis. The bound is given in terms of a partial…

This text is a survey of recent results obtained by the author and collaborators on different problems for non-self-adjoint operators. The topics are: Kramers-Fokker-Planck type operators, spectral asymptotics in two dimensions and Weyl…

Resolvent compositions were recently introduced as monotonicity-preserving operations that combine a set-valued monotone operator and a bounded linear operator. They generalize in particular the notion of a resolvent average. We analyze the…

We estimate the norm of the resolvent of non-selfadjoint Berezin Toeplitz operators in the semi-classical limit, under various assumptions on the Poisson bracket of the real and imaginary parts of the symbol. In case this bracket is…
