In this paper we go over the history of the Fuglede or Spectral Set Conjecture as it has developed over the last 30 years or so. We do not aim to be exhaustive and we do not cover important areas of development such as the results on the…
We study spectral theory for bounded Borel subsets of $\br$ and in particular finite unions of intervals. For Hilbert space, we take $L^2$ of the union of the intervals. This yields a boundary value problem arising from the minimal operator…
The purpose of the present paper is to place a number of geometric (and hands-on) configurations relating to spectrum and geometry inside a general framework for the {\it Fuglede conjecture}. Note that in its general form, the Fuglede…
We explore spectral duality in the context of measures in $\br^n$, starting with partial differential operators and Fuglede's question (1974) about the relationship between orthogonal bases of complex exponentials in $L^2(\Omega)$ and…
In connection to the Fuglede conjecture, and to Fuglede's original work \cite{Fug74}, we study one-parameter unitary groups associated to self-adjoint extensions of the differential operator $Df=\frac1{2\pi i}f'$ on a union of finite…
In this paper we study subsets $E$ of ${\Bbb Z}_p^d$ such that any function $f: E \to {\Bbb C}$ can be written as a linear combination of characters orthogonal with respect to $E$. We shall refer to such sets as spectral. In this context,…
We study orthogonality relations for Fourier frequencies and complex exponentials in Hilbert spaces $L^2(\mu)$ with measures $\mu$ arising from iterated function systems (IFS). This includes equilibrium measures in complex dynamics.…
In connection to the Fuglede conjecture, we study groups of local translations associated to spectral sets, i.e., measurable sets in $\br$ or $\bz$ that have an orthogonal basis of exponential functions. We investigate the connections…
In this paper we prove the "Tiling implies Spectral" part of Fuglede's paper for the case of three intervals. Then we prove the "Spectral implies Tiling" part of the conjecture for the case of three equal intervals as also when the…
The Fuglede conjecture states that a set is spectral if and only if it tiles by translation. The conjecture was disproved by T. Tao for dimensions 5 and higher by giving a counterexample in $\mathbb{Z}_3^5$. We present a computer program…
Let $G$ and $\tilde G$ be reductive groups over a local field $F$. Let $\eta : \tilde G \to G$ be a $F$-homomorphism with commutative kernel and commutative cokernel. We investigate the pullbacks of irreducible admissible…
We consider two number-theoretic problems arising from Fuglede's spectral set conjecture: characterizing finite sets that tile integers, and finding polynomials with (0,1) coefficients whose roots have a certain multiplicative structure. We…
The geometry conjecture, which was posed nearly a quarter of a century ago, states that the fixed point set of the composition of projectors onto nonempty closed convex sets in Hilbert space is actually equal to the intersection of certain…
In connection with the Fuglede conjecture, we study the existence of commuting self-adjoint extensions of the partial differential operators on arbitrary, possibly disconnected domains in $\br^d$, the associated unitary group, the spectral…
We develop some foundations for the theory of formal derived algebraic geometry, which parallel the theory of formal spectral algebraic geometry by Jacob Lurie. For this, we establish a close connection between algebro-geometric objects in…
We discuss part of Fuglede's original paper (1974) in which he posed his famous conjecture on which bodies in Euclidean space admit an orthogonal basis of exponentials for their $L^2$ space.
Motivated by Fredholm theory, we develop a framework to establish the convergence of spectral methods for operator equations $\mathcal L u = f$. The framework posits the existence of a left-Fredholm regulator for $\mathcal L$ and the…
Fuglede's conjecture states that a subset $\Omega\subseteq\mathbb{R}^{n}$ of positive and finite Lebesgue measure is a spectral set if and only if it tiles $\mathbb{R}^{n}$ by translation. The conjecture does not hold in both directions for…
This paper explores relations between two separate worlds. They are the algebraic geometry of Alexander Grothendieck and the automorphic representation theory of Robert Langlands. The relation between them would be a very broad example of…
We examine the problem of the Fourier transform mapping one weighted Lebesgue space into another, by studying necessary conditions and sufficient conditions which expose an underlying geometry. In the necessary conditions, this geometry is…
