We continue the study of boundary data maps, that is, generalizations of spectral parameter dependent Dirichlet-to-Neumann maps for (three-coefficient) Sturm-Liouville operators on the finite interval $(a,b)$, to more general boundary…
In this study, we define discrete fractional Sturm-Liouville (DFSL) operators within Riemann-Liouville and Gr\"unwald-Letnikov fractional operators with both delta and nabla operators. We show selfadjointness of the DFSL operator for the…
Let X be a regular scheme, projective and flat over Spec \mathbb Z. We give a conjectural formula, up to sign and powers of 2, for \zeta^*(X,r), the leading term in the series expansion of \zeta(X,s) at s=r, in terms of Weil-etale motivic…
We have obtained an explicit expression for the spectral zeta functions and for the heat kernel of strings, drums and quantum billiards working to third order in perturbation theory, using a generalization of the binomial theorem to…
We consider the indefinite Sturm-Liouville differential expression \[\mathfrak{a}(f) := - \frac{1}{w}\left( \frac{1}{r} f' \right)',\] where $\mathfrak{a}$ is defined on a finite or infinite open interval $I$ with $0\in I$ and the…
Inverse spectral problems for Sturm-Liouville operators with nonlocal boundary conditions are studied. As the main spectral characteristics we introduce the so-called Weyl-type function and two spectra, which are generalizations of the…
We present a new multiparameter resolvent trace expansion for elliptic operators, polyhomogeneous in both the resolvent and auxiliary variables. For elliptic operators on closed manifolds the expansion is a simple consequence of the…
We give necessary and sufficient conditions for real sequences to be the spectra of selfadjoint extensions of an entire operator whose domain may be non-dense. For this spectral characterization we use de Branges space techniques and a…
The inverse problem of spectral analysis for the non-self-adjoint matrix Sturm-Liouville operator on a finite interval is investigated. We study properties of the spectral characteristics for the considered operator, and provide necessary…
A survey of estimates on the number $N_-(\BM_{\a G})$ of negative eigenvalues (bound states) of the Sturm-Liouville operator $\BM_{\a G}u=-u"-\a G$ on the half-line, as depending on the properties of the function $G$ and the value of the…
We study singular Sturm-Liouville operators of the form \[ \frac{1}{r_j}\left(-\frac{\mathrm d}{\mathrm dx}p_j\frac{\mathrm d}{\mathrm dx}+q_j\right),\qquad j=0,1, \] in $L^2((a,b);r_j)$, where, in contrast to the usual assumptions, the…
We give a characterisation of the spectral properties of linear differential operators with constant coefficients, acting on functions defined on a bounded interval, and determined by general linear boundary conditions. The boundary…
We consider contractive operators $T$ that are trace class perturbations of a unitary operator $U$. We prove that the dimension functions of the absolutely continuous spectrum of $T$, $T^*$ and of $U$ coincide. In particular, if $U$ has a…
It is the aim of these lectures to introduce some basic zeta functions and their uses in the areas of the Casimir effect and Bose-Einstein condensation. A brief introduction into these areas is given in the respective sections. We will…
We construct an analogue of Kontsevich and Vishik's canonical trace for a class of pseudodifferential boundary value problems in Boutet de Monvel's calculus on compact manifolds with boundary. For an operator A in the calculus (of class…

Eigenvalues in the essential spectrum of a weighted Sturm-Liouville operator are studied under the assumption that the weight function has one turning point. An abstract approach to the problem is given via a functional model for indefinite…
We use the asymptotic expansion of the heat trace to express all residues of spectral zeta functions as regularized sums over the spectrum. The method extends to those spectral zeta functions that are localized by a bounded operator.
We study a second-order differential equation involving a quasi-derivative, leading to a non-self-adjoint Sturm--Liouville-type problem with four coefficient functions. To analyze this equation, we develop a generalized Pr\"ufer…
The insertion of the spectral flow operator in a string scattering amplitude on AdS$_3\times \mathcal{N}$ produces a change in the winding number of one of the incoming (or outgoing) states, making it possible to compute amplitudes of…
