We offer a spectral analysis for a class of transfer operators. These transfer operators arise for a wide range of stochastic processes, ranging from random walks on infinite graphs to the processes that govern signals and recursive wavelet…

We show, that in contrast to the free electron model (standard BCS model), a particular gap in the spectrum of multiband superconductors opens at some distance from the Fermi energy, if conduction band is composed of hybridized atomic…

It is a classic result in spectral theory that the limit distribution of the spectral measure of random graphs G(n, p) converges to the semicircle law in case np tends to infinity with n. The spectral measure for random graphs G(n, c/n)…

We study the spectral gap of subgraphs of the hypercube induced by monotone subsets of vertices. For a monotone subset $A\subseteq\{0,1\}^{n}$ of density $\mu(A)$, the previous best lower bound on the spectral gap, due to Cohen, was…

We prove an analog of Aldous' spectral gap conjecture in the generalized symmetric groups $G\wr S_n$ where $G$ is an arbitrary finite group. Moreover, we show that Caputo's extension of the conjecture to hypergraphs transfers to these…

Sparse graphs with bounded average degree form a rich class of discrete structures where local geometry strongly influences global behavior. The Benjamini-Schramm (BS) convergence offers a natural framework to describe their asymptotic…

We consider random walks on several classes of graphs and explore the likely structure of the vacant set, i.e. the set of unvisited vertices. Let \Gamma(t) be the subgraph induced by the vacant set of the walk at step t. We show that for…

We study the entropy of the distribution of the set R_n of vertices visited by a simple random walk on a graph with bounded degrees in its first n steps. It is shown that this quantity grows linearly in the expected size of R_n if the graph…

We show that the spectral-gap of a general zero range process can be controlled in terms of the spectral-gap of a single particle. This is in the spirit of Aldous' famous spectral-gap conjecture for the interchange process. Our main…

We calculate the single particle spectral density of a normal (non-superfluid) two component gas of fermions in the BCS-BEC crossover within a T-matrix approximation. We review how non-condensed pairs lead to a spectral density reminiscent…

We present a proof of Rider's unpublished result that the union of two Sidon sets in the dual of a non-commutative compact group is Sidon, and that randomly Sidon sets are Sidon. Most likely this proof is essentially the one announced by…

We show that spectral form factors of unconventional gapped superconductors have singularities occurring periodically in time. These are the superconductors whose gap function vanishes somewhere in momentum space (Brillouin zone) but whose…

In this paper, we show a spectral inclusion of a different spectra of a C0-quasi-semigroup and its generator and precisely for ordinary, point, approximate point, residual, essential and regular spectra.

Signed graphs are graphs whose edges get a sign $+1$ or $-1$ (the signature). Signed graphs can be studied by means of graph matrices extended to signed graphs in a natural way. Recently, the spectra of signed graphs have attracted much…

The theory of $L^2$-spectral gaps for reversible Markov chains has been studied by many authors. In this paper we consider positive recurrent general state space Markov chains with stationary transition probabilities. Replacing the…

We propose to study unitary matrix ensembles defined in terms of unitary stochastic transition matrices associated with Markov processes on graphs. We argue that the spectral statistics of such an ensemble (after ensemble averaging) depends…

We consider the gap creation problem in an antidot graphene lattice, i.e. a sheet of graphene with periodically distributed obstacles. We prove several spectral results concerning the size of the gap and its dependence on different natural…

Let $S_n$ denote the symmetric group on $n$ elements, and $\Sigma\subseteq S_{n}$ a symmetric subset of permutations. Aldous' spectral gap conjecture, proved by Caputo, Liggett and Richthammer [arXiv:0906.1238], states that if $\Sigma$ is a…

We study the semigroup of the symmetric $\alpha$-stable process in bounded domains in $\R^2$. We obtain a variational formula for the spectral gap, i.e. the difference between two first eigenvalues of the generator of this semigroup. This…

We present a new derivation of the spectral gap of the totally asymmetric exclusion process on a half-filled ring of size L by using the Bethe Ansatz. We show that, in the large L limit, the Bethe equations reduce to a simple transcendental…
