We present a new approach to the theory of k-forms on self-similar fractals. We work out the details for two examples, the standard Sierpinski gasket and the 3-dimensional Sierpinski gasket, but the method is expected to be effective for…
We consider topological dynamical systems over $\ZZ$ and, more generally, locally compact, $\sigma$-compact abelian groups. We relate spectral theory and diffraction theory. We first use a a recently developed general framework of…
We demonstrate that the fractional Laplacian (FL) is the principal characteristic operator of harmonic systems with {\it self-similar} interparticle interactions. We show that the FL represents the "{\it fractional continuum limit}" of a…
The paper is a brief survey of some recent new results and progress of the Laplacian spectra of graphs and complex networks (in particular, random graph and the small world network). The main contents contain the spectral radius of the…
We study the spectral stability of a 2D discrete Schr\"{o}dinger equation on a square lattice, in the simultaneous presence of a fractional Laplacian and $\cal{PT}$ symmetry. For that purpose, we compute the plane-wave spectrum in closed…
Laplace operators on finite compact metric graphs are considered under the assumption that matching conditions at graph vertices are of $\delta$ and $\delta'$ types. Assuming rational independence of edge lengths, necessary and sufficient…
We provide a coherent overview of a number of recent results obtained by the authors in the theory of schemes defined over the field with one element. Essentially, this theory encompasses the study of a functor which maps certain geometries…
On a compact Riemannian manifold $M$ with boundary $Y$, we express the log of the zeta-determinant of the Dirichlet-to-Neumann operator acting on $q$-forms on $Y$ as the difference of the log of the zeta-determinant of the Laplacian on…
We study Laplacians associated to a graph and single out a class of such operators with special regularity properties. In the case of locally finite graphs, this class consists of all selfadjoint, non-negative restrictions of the standard…
By a similar idea for the construction of Milnor's gamma functions, we introduce "higher depth determinants" of the Laplacian on a compact Riemann surface of genus greater than one. We prove that, as a generalization of the determinant…
Decoupled fractional Laplacian wave equation can describe the seismic wave propagation in attenuating media. Fourier pseudospectral implementations, which solve the equation in spatial frequency domain, are the only existing methods for…
We show that the cyclotomic trace map for smooth varieties over number rings can be interpreted as a regulator map and hence are related to special values of $\zeta$-functions.
We consider and provide an accurate study for the fractional Zernike functions on the punctured unit disc, generalizing the classical Zernike polynomials and their associated $\beta$-restricted Zernike functions. Mainly, we give the…
Let $X$ be a compact polyhedral surface (a compact Riemann surface with flat conformal metric $\mathfrak{T}$ having conical singularities). The $\zeta$-function $\zeta_\Delta(s)$ of the Friedrichs Laplacian on $X$ is meromorphic in…
The spectrum of the normalized graph Laplacian yields a very comprehensive set of invariants of a graph. In order to understand the information contained in those invariants better, we systematically investigate the behavior of this…
The Laplacian plays a major role in the mathematical analysis of partial differential equations. Recently, the work of J. Kigami, taken up by R. S. Strichartz, allowed the construction of an operator of the same nature, defined locally, on…
We introduce a family of post-critically finite fractal trees indexed by the number of branches they possess. Then we produce a Laplacian operator on graph approximations to these fractals and use spectral decimation to describe the…
We consider the $\zeta$-regularized determinant of the Friedrichs extension of the Dirichlet Laplace-Beltrami operator on curvilinear polygonal domains with corners of arbitrary positive angles. In particular, this includes slit domains. We…
We study the zeta-function regularization of functional determinants of Laplace and Dirac-type operators in two-dimensional Euclidean $AdS_2$ space. More specifically, we consider the ratio of determinants between an operator in the…
We consider the resolvent of a second order differential operator with a regular singularity, admitting a family of self-adjoint extensions. We find that the asymptotic expansion for the resolvent in the general case presents unusual powers…
