W. Pauli pointed out that the existence of a self-adjoint time operator is incompatible with the semibounded character of the Hamiltonian spectrum. As a result, people have been arguing a lot about the time-energy uncertainty relation and…
The need to Fourier transform data sets with irregular sampling is shared by various domains of science. This is the case for example in astronomy or sismology. Iterative methods have been developed that allow to reach approximate…
In a seminal 2005 paper, Haagerup and Thorbj{\o}rnsen discovered that the norm of any noncommutative polynomial of independent complex Gaussian random matrices converges to that of a limiting family of operators that arises from…
Let $1\leq p \leq q <\infty$, and let $w \in \mathbb{C}$. Weissler conjectured that the Hermite operator $e^{w\Delta}$ is bounded as an operator from $L^{p}$ to $L^{q}$ on the Hamming cube $\{-1,1\}^{n}$ with the norm bound independent of…
We present a new approach to the question of when the commutativity of operator exponentials implies that of the operators. This is proved in the setting of bounded normal operators on a complex Hilbert space. The proofs are based on some…
It is proved that for general, not necessarily periodic quasi one dimensional systems, the band position operator corresponding to an isolated part of the energy spectrum has discrete spectrum and its eigenfunctions have the same spatial…
The Laplacian in an unbounded tubular neighbourhood of a hyperplane with non-Hermitian complex-symmetric Robin-type boundary conditions is investigated in the limit when the width of the neighbourhood diminishes. We show that the Laplacian…
For a Hermitian holomorphic vector bundle over a Hermitian manifold, we consider the Dolbeault Laplacian with $\overline\partial$-Neumann boundary conditions, which is a self-adjoint operator on the space of square-integrable differential…
We apply Wermuth's theorem on commuting operator exponentials to show that if $A, B \in B(X)$, $X$ being Banach space and $A$ of $2\pi i$-congruence free spectrum, then $e^A B = B e^A$ if and only if $AB=BA$. We employ this observation to…
In this paper we perform the analysis of the spectrum of a degenerate operator $A_\var$ corresponding to the stationary heat equation in a $\var$-periodic composite medium having two components with high contrast diffusivity. We prove that…
Let $D,X \in B(H)$ be bounded operators on an infinite dimensional Hilbert space $H$. If the commutator $[D,X] = DX-XD$ lies within $\varepsilon$ in operator norm of the identity operator $1_{B(H)}$, then it was observed by Popa that one…
In this paper, we study spectral properties of a family of quasi-periodic Schrodinger operators on the real line in the adiabatic limit. We assume that the adiabatic iso-energetic curves are extended along the momentum direction. In the…
We study band-dominated operators on (subspaces of) $L_p$-spaces over metric measure spaces of bounded geometry satisfying an additional property. We single out core assumptions to obtain, in an abstract setting, definitions of limit…
In this paper we prove that a class of non self-adjoint second order differential operators acting in cylinders $\Omega\times\mathbb R\subseteq\mathbb R^{d+1}$ have only real discrete spectrum located to the right of the right most point of…
We introduce an alternative factorization of the Hamiltonian of the quantum harmonic oscillator which leads to a two-parameter self-adjoint operator from which the standard harmonic oscillator, the one-parameter oscillators introduced by…
We define a quantum-mechanical time operator that is selfadjoint and compatible with the energy operator having a spectrum bounded from below. On their common domain, the operators of time and energy satisfy the expected canonical…

The local $L^2$-mapping property of Fourier integral operators has been established in H\"ormander \cite{H} and in Eskin \cite{E}. In this paper, we treat the global $L^2$-boundedness for a class of operators that appears naturally in many…
We consider a general class of $n\times n$ random band matrices with bandwidth $W$. When $W^2\ll n$, we prove that with high probability the eigenvectors of such matrices are localized and decay exponentially at the sharp scale $W^2$.…
The beat time {\tau}_{fpt} associated with the energy transfer between two coupled oscillators is dictated by the bandwidth theorem which sets a lower bound {\tau}_{fpt}\sim 1/{\delta}{\omega}. We show, both experimentally and…
