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 solve the non-local eigenvalue problem that arose from consideration of the adjoint sector of the c=1 matrix model in hep-th/0503112. We obtain the exact wavefunction and a scattering phase that matches the string theory calculation.

We study Jacobi operators $J_{p}$, $p> -1$, whose eigenfunctions are Laguerre polynomials. All operators $J_{p}$ have absolutely continuous simple spectra coinciding with the positive half-axis. This fact, however, by no means imply that…

This is the third in a series of works devoted to spectral asymptotics for non-selfadjoint perturbations of selfadjoint $h$-pseudodifferential operators in dimension 2. We assume that the unperturbed operator has a periodic Hamilton flow,…

The variation of spectral subspaces for linear self-adjoint operators under an additive bounded semidefinite perturbation is considered. A variant of the Davis-Kahan $ \sin2\Theta $ theorem from [SIAM J. Numer. Anal. 7 (1970), 1--46]…

Let $A\colon H\rightarrow H$ be a normal operator on an infinite-dimensional separable Hilbert space $H$ and let $S\subseteq H$ be a finite subset such that $\{A^nx\}_{n\geq 0,\,x\in S}$ can be rescaled to form a frame for $H$. That is,…

We study scattering of a periodic wave in a string on two lumped oscillators attached to it. The equations can be represented as a driven (by the incident wave) dissipative (due to radiation losses) system of delay differential equations of…

Let $H_0$ be a self-adjoint operator on a Hilbert space $\mathcal H$ endowed with a rigging $F,$ which is a zero-kernel closed operator from $\mathcal H$ to another Hilbert space $\mathcal K$ such that the sandwiched resolvent $F (H_0 -…

In this note the following theorem is proved. Let $\mathcal H$ and $\mathcal K$ be Hilbert spaces. Let $H_0$ be a self-adjoint operator on $\mathcal H,$ $F \colon \mathcal H \to \mathcal K$ be a closed $|H_0|^{1/2}$-compact operator, and $J…
