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,…
Spectral flow was first studied by Atiyah and Lusztig, and first appeared in print in the work of Atiyah-Patodi-Singer (APS). For a norm-continuous path of self-adjoint Fredholm operators in the multiplier algebra $\mathcal{M}(\mathcal{B})$…
We give a definition of the spectral flow for paths of bounded essentially hyperbolic operators on a Banach space. The spectral flow induces a group homomorphism on the fundamental group of every connected component of the space of…
A variational principle is derived for two-dimensional incompressible rotational fluid flow with a free surface in a moving vessel when both the vessel and fluid motion are to be determined. The fluid is represented by a stream function and…
The spectral flow is an integer-valued homotopy invariant for paths of selfadjoint Fredholm operators. Lesch as well as Pejsachowicz, Fitzpatrick and Ciriza independently showed that it is uniquely characterised by its elementary…
A family of maps or flows depending on a parameter $\nu$ which varies in an interval, spans a certain property if along the interval this property depends continuously on the parameter and achieves some asymptotic values along it. We…
In this paper we prove, for small Hurst parameters, the higher order differentiability of a stochastic flow associated with a stochastic differential equation driven by an additive multi-dimensional fractional Brownian noise, where the…
Let~$H_0$ and~$V$ be self-adjoint operators such that~$V$ admits a factorisation $V = F^*JF$ with bounded self-adjoint $J$ and $|H_0|^{1/2}$-compact~$F.$ Flow of singular spectrum of the path of self-adjoint operators $H_0 + rV,$ $r \in…
An application of variational principle to bifurcation of periodic solution in Lagrangian mechanics is shown. A few higher derivatives of the action integral at a periodic solution reveals the behaviour of the action in function space near…
We consider the free boundary problem for a liquid drop of nearly spherical shape with capillarity, and we study the existence of nontrivial (i.e., non spherical) rotating traveling profiles bifurcating from the spherical shape, where the…
A general integral formula for the spectral flow of a path of unbounded selfadjoint Fredholm operators subject to certain summability conditions is derived from the interpretation of the spectral flow as a winding number.
It is well-established that shear flows in a periodic strip are linearly unstable for the incompressible Navier Stokes equations provided the viscosity is small enough. In this article, under a natural spectral assumption which is satisfied…
We relate the spectral flow to the index for paths of selfadjoint Breuer-Fredholm operators affiliated to a semifinite von Neumann algebra, generalizing results of Robbin-Salamon and Pushnitski. Then we prove the vanishing of the von…
We use a novel parameterization of the flowing Hamiltonian to show that the flow equations based on continuous unitary transformations, as proposed by Wegner, can be implemented through a nonlinear partial differential equation involving…
We obtain local and global bifurcation for periodic solutions of Hamiltonian systems by using a new way to apply a comparison principle of the spectral flow that was originally introduced by Pejsachowicz in a joint work with the third…
A plane non-parallel flow in a square fluid domain exhibits an odd number of vortices. A spectral structure is found to have a non-real solution of the spectral problem linearized around the flow. With the use of this structure, Hopf…
The classical Benjamin and Lighthill conjecture about steady water waves states that the non-dimensional flow force constant of a solution is bounded by the corresponding constants of the supercritical and subcritical uniform streams…
We prove that solutions of stochastic differential equations driven by fractional Brownian motion for $H>1/2$ define flows of homeomorphisms on $\mathbb{R}^{d}$.
The spectral theory of graphs provides a bridge between classical signal processing and the nascent field of graph signal processing. In this paper, a spectral graph analogy to Heisenberg's celebrated uncertainty principle is developed.…
We review previous work on spectral flow in connection with certain self-adjoint model operators $\{A(t)\}_{t\in \mathbb{R}}$ on a Hilbert space $\mathcal{H}$, joining endpoints $A_\pm$, and the index of the operator $D_{A}^{}= (d/d t) + A$…
