A Jacobi matrix with $a_n\to 1$, $b_n\to 0$ and spectral measure $\nu'(x)dx + d\nu_{sing}(x)$ satisfies the Szeg\H o condition if $\int_{0}^\pi \ln \bigl[ \nu'(2\cos\theta) \bigr] d\theta$ is finite. We prove that if $a_n = 1 + \frac…

We study the Case sum rules, especially $C_0$, for general Jacobi matrices. We establish situations where the sum rule is valid. Applications include an extension of Shohat's theorem to cases with an infinite point spectrum and a proof that…

We prove bounds of the form $\sum_{e\in I\cap\sigma_\di (H)} \dist (e,\sigma_\e (H))^{1/2} \leq L^1$-norm of a perturbation, where $I$ is a gap. Included are gaps in continuum one-dimensional periodic Schr\"odinger operators and finite gap…

We use a classical result of Gollinski and Ibragimov to prove an analog of the strong Szego theorem for Jacobi matrices on $l^2(\N)$. In particular, we consider the class of Jacobi matrices with conditionally summable parameter sequences…

We announce three results in the theory of Jacobi matrices and Schr\"odinger operators. First, we give necessary and sufficient conditions for a measure to be the spectral measure of a Schr\"odinger operator $-\f{d^2}{dx^2} +V(x)$ on $L^2…

We consider $C=A+B$ where $A$ is selfadjoint with a gap $(a,b)$ in its spectrum and $B$ is (relatively) compact. We prove a general result allowing $B$ of indefinite sign and apply it to obtain a $(\delta V)^{d/2}$ bound for perturbations…

We demonstrate existence of positive bound and ground states for a system of coupled nonlinear Schr\"odinger--Korteweg-de Vries equations. More precisely, we prove there is a positive radially symmetric ground state if either the coupling…

We present results on the unique reconstruction of a semi-infinite Jacobi operator from the spectra of the operator with two different boundary conditions. This is the discrete analogue of the Borg-Marchenko theorem for Schr{\"o}dinger…

For a Jacobi matrix J on l^2(Z_+) with Ju(n)=a_{n-1} u(n-1) + b_n u(n) + a_n u(n+1), we prove that \sum_{|E|>2} (E^2 -4)^{1/2} \leq \sum_n |b_n| + 4\sum_n |a_n -1|. We also prove bounds on higher moments and some related results in higher…

Let $\fre\subset\bbR$ be a finite union of disjoint closed intervals. We study measures whose essential support is $\fre$ and whose discrete eigenvalues obey a 1/2-power condition. We show that a Szeg\H{o} condition is equivalent to \[…

We discuss the proof of and systematic application of Case's sum rules for Jacobi matrices. Of special interest is a linear combination of two of his sum rules which has strictly positive terms. Among our results are a complete…

The Szeg\H{o} limit theorem by Fedele and Gebert for matrices of the type identity minus Hankel matrix is proved for the special case $1-\frac{\beta}{\pi}H_{N,\alpha}$ where $H_{N,\alpha}$ is the $N\times N$-Hilbert matrix,…

We consider Jacobi matrices $J$ whose parameters have the power asymptotics $\rho_n=n^{\beta_1} \left( x_0 + \frac{x_1}{n} + {\rm O}(n^{-1-\epsilon})\right)$ and $q_n=n^{\beta_2} \left( y_0 + \frac{y_1}{n} + {\rm O}(n^{-1-\epsilon})\right)$…

We consider Jacobi matrices whose essential spectrum is a finite union of closed intervals. We focus on Szego's theorem, Jost solutions, and Szego asymptotics for this situation. This announcement describes talks the authors gave at OPSFA…

A generalization of the Gell-Mann-Low Theorem is applied to bound state calculations in Yukawa theory. The resulting effective Schroedinger equation is solved numerically for two-fermion bound states with the exchange of a massless boson.…

We prove a bound, of Bargmann- Birman-Schwinger type, on the number of eigenvalues of the matrix Schr\"odinger operator on the half line, with the most general self adjoint boundary condition at the origin, and with selfadjoint matrix…

Bounds on the exponential decay of generalized eigenfunctions of bounded and unbounded selfadjoint Jacobi matrices are established. Two cases are considered separately: (i) the case in which the spectral parameter lies in a general gap of…

We study the wave operators for a Jacobi matrix whose spectral measure satisfies the Szeg\"o condition. We prove existence and completeness of wave operators under a mild additional assumption on the Verblunsky coefficients of the…

From the general inverse theory of periodic Jacobi matrices, it is known that a periodic Jacobi matrix of minimal period $p \geq 2$ may have at most $p-2$ closed spectral gaps. We discuss the maximal number of closed gaps for…

We have investigated the possible existence of a quasi-bound state for the \Sigma -\Sigma -\alpha system in the framework of Faddeev calculations. We are particularly interested in the state of total iso-spin T=2, since for an inert \alpha…
