We discuss the problem where the extremal function in embedding theorem of some (generally speaking, non-integer) order is the constant function. We obtain the necessary and sufficient conditions of this.

In an attempt to progress towards proving the conjecture the numerical range W (A) is a 2--spectral set for the matrix A, we propose a study of various constants. We review some partial results, many problems are still open. We describe our…

We study the spectra for a class of differential operators with asymptotically constant coefficients.These operators widely arise as the linearizations of nonlinear partial differential equations about patterns or nonlinear waves. We…

Categorical spectra are spectrum objects in pointed $(\infty,\infty)$-categories: sequences $(X_n)$ equipped with equivalences $X_n\simeq \Omega X_{n+1}$. This thesis develops foundations for categorical spectra and constructs their tensor…

We extend in this paper several results of E. Kirchberg, S. Wassermann and the author dealing with continuous fields of C*--algebras to the semi-continuous case. We provide a new characterisation of separable lower semi-continuity…

The search for optimal configurations of pointsets, the most notable examples being the problems of Kepler and Thompson, have an extremely rich history with diverse applications in physics, chemistry, communication theory, and scientific…

In this work, we focus on the multiplicity of singular spectrum for operators of the form $A^\omega=A+\sum_{n}\omega_n C_n$ on a separable Hilbert space $\mathcal{H}$, for a self-adjoint operator $A$ and a countable collection $\{C_n\}_{n}$…

In this article, we prove the existence of extremal functions in higher-order affine Sobolev inequalities. Proofs rely on concentration-compactness methods in spaces of integer or fractional regularity. The tools we use, available in spaces…

With view to applications, we establish a correspondence between two problems: (i) the problem of finding continuous positive definite extensions of functions $F$ which are defined on open bounded domains $\Omega$ in $\mathbb{R}$, on the…

Let a graph be observed through a finite random sampling mechanism. Spectral methods are routinely applied to such graphs, yet their outputs are treated as deterministic objects. This paper develops finite-sample inference for spectral…

We introduce the concept of finitely coloured equivalence for unital *-homomorphisms between C*-algebras, for which unitary equivalence is the 1-coloured case. We use this notion to classify *-homomorphisms from separable, unital, nuclear…

Actions of a locally compact group G on a measure space X give rise to unitary representations of G on Hilbert spaces. We review results on the rigidity of these actions from the spectral point of view, that is, results about the existence…

In this article we introduce a definition of k-uniform thresholds hypergraphs through a binary sequence, a natural extension of the classical definition for thresholds graphs. We characterize some of its eigenvalues and multiplicities by…

This survey focuses on two main types of finite-rank perturbations: self-adjoint and unitary. We describe both classical and more recent spectral results. We pay special attention to singular self-adjoint perturbations and model…

We introduce a new tool to study the spectral type of rank one transformations using the method of central limit theorem for trigonometric sums. We get some new applications.

We describe extensive computational experiments on spectral properties of random objects - random cubic graphs, random planar triangulations, and Voronoi and Delaunay diagrams of random (uniformly distributed) point sets on the sphere). We…

This is an exposition of facts about p-local spectra, p-complete spectra and modules over the p-complete sphere spectrum, including homological criteria for finiteness. Most things are well-known to the experts, with a couple of potential…

We establish uniform bounds for the sup-norms of modular forms of arbitrary real weight $k$ with respect to a finite index subgroup $\Gamma$ of $\mathrm{SL}_2(\mathbb{Z})$. We also prove corresponding bounds for the supremum over a compact…

We study spectral properties of the Neumann-Poincar\'e operator on planar domains with corners with particular emphasis on existence of continuous spectrum and pure point spectrum. We show that the rate of resonance at continuous spectrum…

For all convex co-compact hyperbolic surfaces, we prove the existence of an essential spectral gap, that is a strip beyond the unitarity axis in which the Selberg zeta function has only finitely many zeroes. We make no assumption on the…
