In the smooth scattering theory framework, we consider a pair of self-adjoint operators $H_0$, $H$ and discuss the spectral projections of these operators corresponding to the interval $(-\infty,\lambda)$. The purpose of the paper is to…

The notion of the eigenvalue problem in the Fock space with polynomial eigenfunctions is introduced. This problem is classified by using the finite-dimensional representations of the $\mathfrak{sl}(2)$-algebra in Fock space. In the complex…

A class of orthogonal polynomials associated with Coulomb wave functions is introduced. These polynomials play a role analogous to that the Lommel polynomials do in the theory of Bessel functions. The measure of orthogonality for this new…

The variation of spectral subspaces for linear self-adjoint operators under an additive bounded semidefinite perturbation is considered. A variant of the Davis-Kahan $ \sin2\Theta $ theorem from [SIAM J. Numer. Anal. 7 (1970), 1--46]…

Some properties and relations satisfied by the polynomial solutions of the bispectral problem are studied. Given a differential operator, under certain restrictions its polynomial eigenfunctions are explicitly obtained, as well as the…

We prove new spectral enclosures for the non-real spectrum of a class of $2\times2$ block operator matrices with self-adjoint operators $A$ and $D$ on the diagonal and operators $B$ and $-B^*$ as off-diagonal entries. One of our main…

We show that the Jacobi polynomials that are orthogonal on the unit circle (the Jacobi OPUC) are CMV bispectral. This means that the corresponding Laurent polynomials in the CMV basis satisfy two dual ordinary eigenvalue problems: a…

We give a self-contained presentation of the theory of self-adjoint extensions using the technique of boundary triples. A description of the spectra of self-adjoint extensions in terms of the corresponding Krein maps (Weyl functions) is…

The adjacency operator of a graph has a spectrum and a class of scalar-valued spectral measures which have been systematically analyzed; it also has a spectral multiplicity function which has been less studied. The first purpose of this…

Observables of a quantum system, described by self-adjoint operators in a von Neumann algebra or affiliated with it in the unbounded case, form a conditionally complete lattice when equipped with the spectral order. Using this…

Second-order variational properties have been shown to play important theoretical and numerical roles for different classes of optimization problems. Among such properties, twice epi-differentiability has a special place because of its…

In this paper, we give an easy proof of the main results of Andrews and Clutterbuck's paper [J. Amer. Math. Soc. 24 (2011), no. 3, 899--916], which gives both a sharp lower bound for the spectral gap of a Schr\"oinger operator and a sharp…

In this paper we construct the spectral expansion for the non-self-adjoint differential operators generated in the space of vektor functions by the ordinary differential expression of arbitrary order with the periodic matrix coefficients by…

Gramsch and Lay [10] gave spectral mapping theorems for the Dunford-Taylor calculus of a closed linear operator $T$, $$\widetilde{\sigma}_i(f(T)) = f(\widetilde{\sigma}_i(T)), $$ for several extended essential spectra…

We consider a first order operator with a periodic 3x3 matrix potential on the real line. This operator appears in the problem of the periodic vector NLS equation. The spectrum of the operator covers the real line, it is union of the…

We develop a theory of Jacobi polynomials for parabolic subgroups of finite reflection groups that specializes to the cases studied by Heckman and Opdam in which the whole group and the trivial group are considered. For the intermediate…

We elaborate and make rigorous various speculations about the implications of spectral properties of self-adjoint operators on spaces of automorphic forms for location of zeros of $L$-functions. Some of these ideas arose in work of Colin de…

Spectral methods are an efficient way to solve partial differential equations on domains possessing certain symmetries. The utility of a method depends strongly on the choice of spectral basis. In this paper we describe a set of bases built…

We consider ergodic Jacobi operators and obtain estimates on the Lebesgue measure and the distance between maximum and minimum points of the spectrum in terms of the Lyapunov exponent. Our proofs are based on results from logarithmic…

We construct a functional model for rank one perturbations of compact normal operators acting in a certain Hilbert spaces of entire functions generalizing de Branges spaces. Using this model we study completeness and spectral synthesis…
