We use the Ulam method to study spectral properties of the Perron-Frobenius operators of dynamical maps in a chaotic regime. For maps with absorption we show that the spectrum is characterized by the fractal Weyl law recently established…
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 consider an algebra $\mathscr A$ of Fourier integral operators on $\mathbb R^n$. It consists of all operators $D: \mathscr S(\mathbb R^n)\to \mathscr S(\mathbb R^n)$ on the Schwartz space $\mathscr S(\mathbb R^n)$ that can be written as…

Let $N(T;V)$ denote the number of eigenvalues of the Schr\"odinger operator $-y'' + Vy$ with absolute value less than $T$. This paper studies the Weyl asymptotics of perturbations of the Schr\"odinger operator $-y'' + \frac{1}{4}e^{2t}y$ on…
We initiate a systematic study of natural differential operators in Riemannian geometry whose leading symbols are not of Laplace type. In particular, we define a discrete leading symbol for such operators which may be computed pointwise, or…
