For convex and sequential effect algebras, we study spectrality in the sense of Foulis. We show that under additional conditions (strong archimedeanity, closedness in norm and a certain monotonicity property of the sequential product), such…
We present a novel paradigm for dispersion engineering in coupled transmission lines (CTLs) based on exceptional points of degeneracy (EPDs). We develop a theory for fourth-order EPDs consisting of four Floquet-Bloch eigenmodes coalescing…
In this paper, we prove a discrete version of the Bethe-Sommerfeld conjecture. Namely, we show that the spectra of multi-dimensional discrete periodic Schr\"odinger operators on $\mathbb{Z}^d$ lattice with sufficiently small potentials…
The problem of approximating the discrete spectra of families of self-adjoint operators that are merely strongly continuous is addressed. It is well-known that the spectrum need not vary continuously (as a set) under strong perturbations.…
For 24 years, it has been an open problem to obtain improved bounds, for the maximal function over a sparse sequence of discrete spherical averages, going beyond the range for the full discrete spherical maximal function. I formulate a…
The well-known 1-2-3 Conjecture asserts that the edges of every graph without isolated edges can be weighted with $1$, $2$ and $3$ so that adjacent vertices receive distinct weighted degrees. This is open in general, while it is known to be…
Let D be a rank 2 bracket generating distribution on a 4 manifold, D is Engel if its growth vector is maximal. When this maximality fails the distribution is degenerate. We prove Sard's conjecture for the endpoint map in the case of…
We study discrete $\beta$-ensembles as introduced in [17]. We obtain rigidity estimates on the particle locations, i.e. with high probability, the particles are close to their classical locations with an optimal error estimate. We prove the…
We obtain several sharp spectral bounds, approximations, and exact values for the isoperimetric number and related edge-expansion parameters of graphs. Our results focus on graph powers and on families of graphs with rich algebraic or…
The problems of maximizing the spectral radius and the number of spanning trees in a class of bipartite graphs with certain degree constraints are considered. In both the problems, the optimal graph is conjectured to be a Ferrers graph.…
This paper focuses on the spectral properties of a bounded self-adjoint operator in $L_2(\mathds R^d)$ being the sum of a convolution operator with an integrable convolution kernel and an operator of multiplication by a continuous potential…
The theory of graphons has proven to be a powerful tool in many areas of graph theory. In this paper, we introduce several foundational aspects of the theory of digraphons -- asymmetric two-variable functions that arise as limits of…
One of Erdos's conjectures states that every triangle-free graph on $n$ vertices has an induced subgraph on $n/2$ vertices with at most $n^2/50$ edges. We report several partial results towards this conjecture. In particular, we establish…
A normal 5-edge-coloring of a cubic graph is a coloring such that for every edge the number of distinct colors incident to its end-vertices is 3 or 5 (and not 4). The well known Petersen Coloring Conjecture is equivalent to the statement…
We use B\'{e}zout's theorem and Bernstein-Khovanskii-Kushnirenko theorem to analyze the level sets of the extrema of the spectral band functions of discrete periodic Schr\"odinger operators on $\mathbb{Z}^2$. These approaches improve upon…
We study the extremal problem that relates the spectral radius $\lambda (G)$ of an $F$-free graph $G$ with its number of edges. Firstly, we prove that for any graph $F$ with chromatic number $\chi (F)=r+1\ge 3$, if $G$ is an $F$-free graph…
In this paper we formulate and prove a combinatorial version of the section conjecture for finite groups acting on finite graphs. We apply this result to the study of rational points and show that finite descent is the only obstruction to…
A famous result going back to Eric Kostlan states that the moduli of the eigenvalues of random normal matrices with radial potential are independent yet non identically distributed. This phenomenon is at the heart of the asymptotic analysis…
We study the spectrum of some periodic differential operators, in particular the periodic Schr\"{o}dinger operator acting on infinite $n$-cubic graphs. Using Floquet-Bloch theory, we derive and analyze on the dispersion relations of the…
Complex periodic structures inherit spectral properties from the constituent parts of their unit cells, chiefly their spectral band gaps. Exploiting this intuitive principle, which is made precise in this work, means spectral features of…
