We study Schr\"odinger operators $H=-\Delta+V$ in $L^2(\Omega)$ where $\Omega$ is $\mathbb R^d$ or the half-space $\mathbb R_+^d$, subject to (real) Robin boundary conditions in the latter case. For $p>d$ we construct a non-real potential…
We study the essential self-adjointness for real principal type differential operators. Unlike the elliptic case, we need geometric conditions even for operators on the Euclidean space with asymptotically constant coefficients, and we prove…
We consider essential self-adjointness of strongly singular, homogeneous, polyharmonic operators of the form \[ T_m = \left((-\Delta)^m + c|x|^{-2m}\right)\big|_{C_0^{\infty}(\mathbb{R}^n \setminus \{0\})}, \quad m,n\in\mathbb{N},\ n\ge 2,\…
Under the assumption that $V \in L^2([0,\pi]; dx)$, we derive necessary and sufficient conditions for (non-self-adjoint) Schr\"odinger operators $-d^2/dx^2+V$ in $L^2([0,\pi]; dx)$ with periodic and antiperiodic boundary conditions to…
We prove the Schr\"odinger operator with infinitely many point interactions in $\mathbb{R}^d$ $(d=1,2,3)$ is self-adjoint if the support of the interactions is decomposed into uniformly discrete clusters. Using this fact, we prove the…
We address the question of convergence of Schr\"odinger operators on metric graphs with general self-adjoint vertex conditions as lengths of some of graph's edges shrink to zero. We determine the limiting operator and study convergence in a…
We consider first-order differential operators with locally bounded measurable coefficients on vector bundles with measurable coefficient metrics. Under a mild set of assumptions, we demonstrate the equivalence between the essential…
We give two characterizations for the essential self-adjointness of the weighted Laplacian on birth-death chains. The first involves the edge weights and vertex measure and is classically known; however, we give another proof using…
We prove upper and lower bounds for sums of eigenvalues of Lieb-Thirring type for non-self-adjoint Schr\"odinger operators on the half-line. The upper bounds are established for general classes of integrable potentials and are shown to be…
Given an infinite graph $G$ on countably many vertices, and a closed, infinite set $\Lambda$ of real numbers, we prove the existence of an unbounded self-adjoint operator whose graph is $G$ and whose spectrum is $\Lambda$.
The purpose of this note is to present several criteria for essential self-adjointness. The method is based on ideas due to Shubin. This note is divided into two parts. The first part deals with symmetric first order systems on the line in…
Given a Hermitian vector bundle over an infinite weighted graph, we define the Laplacian associated to a unitary connection on this bundle and study the essential self-adjointness of a perturbation of this Laplacian by an operator-valued…
We give an explicit correspondence between the domains of the self-adjoint extensions of a one-dimensional Schr\"odinger differential operator with symmetric real-valued potential and the boundary conditions the functions in the resulting…
We study the operator theory associated with such infinite graphs $G$ as occur in electrical networks, in fractals, in statistical mechanics, and even in internet search engines. Our emphasis is on the determination of spectral data for a…
We study self-adjoint extensions of a second order differential operator of Sturm-Liouville type on a graph. We relate self-adjointness of the operator to the existence of non-complete trajectories of the Hamiltonian vector field defined by…
We prove a new criterion for the essential self-adjointness of pseudodifferential operators that does not involve ellipticity-type assumptions. For example, we show that self-adjointness holds in case the symbol is $C^{2d+3}$ with…
We propose a general condition, to ensure essential self-adjointness for the Gau{\ss}-Bonnet operator, based on a notion of completeness as Chernoff. This gives essential self-adjointness of the Laplace operator both for functions or…
We show that whole-line Schr\"odinger operators with finitely many bound states have no embedded singular spectrum. In contradistinction, we show that embedded singular spectrum is possible even when the bound states approach the essential…
We consider essential self-adjointness on the space $C_0^{\infty}((0,\infty))$ of even order, strongly singular, homogeneous differential operators associated with differential expressions of the type \[ \tau_{2n}(c) = (-1)^n…
We shall consider a double infinite, hermitian, complex entry matrix $A=[a_{x,y}]_{x,y\in\mathbb Z}$, with $a_{x,y}^*=a_{y,x}$, $x,y\in\mathbb Z$. Assuming that the matrix is almost of a finite bandwidth, i.e. there exists an integer $n> 0$…
