A self-adjoint dynamical time operator is introduced in Dirac's relativistic formulation of quantum mechanics and shown to satisfy a commutation relation with the Hamiltonian analogous to that of the position and momentum operators. The…

In this paper, a spectral theorem is proved for self-adjoint cyclically compact partial integral operators in the space of functions with mixed norm, which is a Kaplansky--Hilbert module. The decomposition through eigenfunctions, integral…

This paper is devoted to self-adjoint cyclically compact operators on Hilbert--Kaplansky module over a ring of bounded measurable functions. The spectral theorem for such a class of operators are given. We apply this result to partial…

We discuss the spectral subspace perturbation problem for a self-adjoint operator. Assuming that the convex hull of a part of its spectrum does not intersect the remainder of the spectrum, we establish an \textit{a priori} sharp bound on…

In mathematical physics, the gradient operator with nonconstant coefficients encompasses various models, including Fourier's law for heat propagation and Fick's first law, that relates the diffusive flux to the gradient of the…

Both sampling a time-varying signal, and its spectral analysis are activities subjected to theoretically compelling, such as Shannon's theorem and the objectively limiting of the frequency's resolution. Usually, the signals' spectra are…

We define Dirac operators on $\mathbb{S}^3$ (and $\mathbb{R}^3$) with magnetic fields supported on smooth, oriented links and prove self-adjointness of certain (natural) extensions. We then analyze their spectral properties and show, among…

The paper mainly deals with suprema and infima of self-adjoint operators in a von Neumann algebra $\mathcal{M}$ with respect to the spectral order. Let $\mathcal{M}_{sa}$ be the self-adjoint part of $\mathcal{M}$ and let $\preceq$ be the…

We consider the self-adjoint fourth-order operator with real $1$-periodic coefficients on the unit interval. The spectrum of this operator is discrete. We determine the high energy asymptotics for its eigenvalues.

The necessary and sufficient conditions are given for a sequence of complex numbers to be the periodic (or antiperiodic) spectrum of non-self-adjoint Dirac operator.

A famous theorem due to Weyl and von Neumann asserts that two bounded self-adjoint operators are unitarily equivalent modulo the compacts, if and only if their essential spectrum agree. The above theorem does not hold for unbounded…

In this work we construct the model of a skew--selfadjoint operator with a simple spectrum acting on a Hilbert quaternion bimodule. This result is based on the Spectral Theorem for a skew--selfadjoint operator.

Given a self-adjoint involution J on a Hilbert space H, we consider a J-self-adjoint operator L=A+V on H where A is a possibly unbounded self-adjoint operator commuting with J and V a bounded J-self-adjoint operator anti-commuting with J.…

Spectral gaps play a fundamental role in many areas of mathematics, computer science, and physics. In quantum mechanics, the spectral gap of Schr\"odinger operators has a long history of study due to its physical relevance, while in quantum…

The spectral properties of a class of non-selfadjoint second order elliptic operators with indefinite weight functions on unbounded domains $\Omega$ are investigated. It is shown that under an abstract regularity assumption the nonreal…

We demonstrate the existence of a complex Hilbert Space with Hermitian operators for calculations in \textit{classical} electromagnetism that parallels the Hilbert Space of quantum mechanics. The axioms of this classical theory are the…

This paper argues that non-self-adjoint operators can be observables. There are only four ways for this to occur: non-self-adjoint observables can either be normal operators, or be symmetric, or have a real spectrum, or have none of these…

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]…

Classical spectral theory gives a complete description of a single normal operator, but it fails for noncommuting operators, where no canonical joint spectrum or simultaneous diagonalization exists. Existing approaches provide only partial…

This research expository article contains a survey of earlier work (in \S2--\S4) but also contains a main new result (in \S5), which we first describe. Given $c \geq 0$, the spectral operator $\mathfrak{a} = \mathfrak{a}_c$ can be thought…
