We present a mechanism for the creation of gaps in the spectra of self-adjoint operators defined over a Hilbert space of functions on a graph, which is based on the process of graph decoration. The resulting Hamiltonians can be viewed as…

We derive a numerical approximation of the Laplace-Beltrami operator on compact surfaces embedded in $\mathbb{R}^3$ with an axial symmetry. To do so we use a noncommutative Laplace operator defined on the space of finite dimensional…

Precise asymptotics known for the Green function of the Laplacian have found their analogs for bounded below periodic elliptic operators of the second-order below and at the bottom of the spectrum. Due to the band-gap structure of the…

We study spectral properties of second order elliptic operators with periodic coefficients in dimension two. These operators act in periodic simply-connected waveguides, with either Dirichlet, or Neumann, or the third boundary condition.…

We look at periodic Jacobi matrices on trees. We provide upper and lower bounds on the gap of such operators analogous to the well known gap in the spectrum of the Laplacian on the upper half-plane with hyperbolic metric. We make some…

We obtain a simple formula for the multiplicity of eigenvalues of the Hodge-Laplace operator, $\Delta_f$, acting on sections of the full exterior bundle over an arbitrary compact flat Riemannian n-manifold M with holonomy group Z_2^k, with…

We investigate the spectrum of a Laplace operator with mixed boundary conditions in an unbounded chamfered quarter of layer. This problem arises in the study of the spectrum of the Dirichlet Laplacian in thick polyhedral domains having some…

We extend to manifolds endowed with a general geometric structure, the classical notions of gradient as well as Laplace operator, and provide some of their natural properties.

The existence and construction of periodic approximations with convergent spectra is crucial in solid state physics for the spectral study of corresponding Schr\"odinger operators. In a forthcoming work [9] (arXiv:1709.00975) this task was…

In this brief paper we present some results on creating and manipulating spectral gaps for a (regular) quantum graph by inserting appropriate internal structures into its vertices. Complete proofs and extensions of the results are planned…

We consider spectral problems for Laplace operator in 3D rod structures with a small cross section of diameter $O(\varepsilon)$, $\varepsilon$ being a positive parameter. The boundary conditions are Dirichlet (Neumann, respectively) on the…

We discuss the essential spectrum of essentially self-adjoint elliptic differential operators of first order and of Laplace type operators on Riemannian vector bundles over geometrically finite orbifolds.

We investigate a large class of elliptic differential inclusions on non-compact complete Riemannian manifolds which involves the Laplace-Beltrami operator and a Hardy-type singular term. Depending on the behavior of the nonlinear term and…

I prove that the spectrum of the Laplace-Beltrami operator with the Neumann boundary condition on a compact Riemannian manifold with boundary admits a fast approximation by the spectra of suitable graph Laplacians on proximity graphs on the…

We will discuss a somewhat striking spectral property of finitely valued stationary processes on Z that says that if the spectral measure of the process has a gap then the process is periodic. We will give some extensions of this result and…

We study spectral asymptotics for the Laplace operator on differential forms on a Riemannian foliated manifold equipped with a bundle-like metric in the case when the metric is blown up in directions normal to the leaves of the foliation.…

In this article, we find sufficient conditions on an open Riemannian manifold so that a Weyl criterion holds for the $L^p$-spectrum of the Laplacian on $k$-forms, and also prove the decomposition of the $L^p$-spectrum depending on the order…

In this paper we study the behaviour of the continuous spectrum of the Laplacian on a complete Riemannian manifold of bounded curvature under perturbations of the metric. The perturbations that we consider are such that its covariant…

For the almost Mathieu operator with a small coupling constant, for a series of spectral gaps, we describe the asymptotic locations of the gaps and get lower bounds for their lengths. The results are obtained by analysing a monodromy…
