The goal of this paper is the spectral analysis of the Schr\"{o}dinger type operator $H=L+V$, the perturbation of the Taibleson-Vladimirov multiplier $L=\mathfrak{D}^{\alpha}$ by a potential $V$. Assuming that $V$ belongs to a certain class…

This paper studies a family of random walks defined on the finite ordinals using their order reversing involutions. Starting at $x \in \{0,1,\ldots,n-1\}$, an element $y \le x$ is chosen according to a prescribed probability distribution,…

We extend the pseudorandomness of random walks on expander graphs using the sticky random walk. Building on prior works, it was recently shown that expander random walks can fool all symmetric functions in total variation distance (TVD)…

Let $G$ be a nonamenable transitive unimodular graph. In dynamical percolation, every edge in $G$ refreshes its status at rate $\mu>0$, and following the refresh, each edge is open independently with probability $p$. The random walk…

We study the spectral theory of a reversible Markov chain associated to a hypoelliptic random walk on a manifold M. This random walk depends on a parameter h which is roughly the size of each step of the walk. We prove uniform bounds with…

We obtain a representation formula for the derivative of the spectral shift function $\xi(\lambda; B, \epsilon)$ related to the operators $H_0(B,\epsilon) = (D_x - By)^2 + D_y^2 + \epsilon x$ and $H(B, \epsilon) = H_0(B, \epsilon) + V(x,y),…

We are concerned with the non-normal Schr\"odinger operator $$ H=-\Delta+V $$ on $ L^2(\mathbb R^n)$, where $V\in W^{1,\infty}_{\text{loc}}(\mathbb{R}^n)$ and $\operatorname{Re} (V(x))\ge c|x|^2-d$ for some $c,d>0$. The spectrum of this…
