Affiliated and normal operators in octonion Hilbert spaces are studied. Theorems about their properties and of related algebras are demonstrated. Spectra of unbounded normal operators are investigated.
The spectra of parallel flows (that is, flows governed by first-order differential operators parallel to one direction) are investigated, on both $L^2$ spaces and weighted-$L^2$ spaces. As a consequence, an example of a flow admitting a…
We study the Atiyah-Patodi-Singer (APS) index, and its equality to the spectral flow, in an abstract, functional analytic setting. More precisely, we consider a (suitably continuous or differentiable) family of self-adjoint Fredholm…
This paper explores the relationship that exists between nonlinear normal modes (NNMs) defined as invariant manifolds in phase space and the spectral expansion of the Koopman operator. Specifically, we demonstrate that NNMs correspond to…
In this paper, using the recently discovered notion of the $S$-spectrum, we prove the spectral theorem for a bounded or unbounded normal operator on a Clifford module (i.e., a two-sided Hilbert module over a Clifford algebra based on units…
In this paper, we provide the spectral decomposition in Hilbert space of the $\mathcal{C}_0$-semigroup $P$ and its adjoint $\hatP$ having as generator, respectively, the Caputo and the right-sided Riemann-Liouville fractional derivatives of…
While the topology of the space of all smooth immersed curves on the $2$-sphere $\mathbb{S}^2$ that start and end at given points in given directions is well known, it is an open problem to understand the homotopy type of its subspaces…
This paper concerns Fredholm theory in several variables, and its applications to Hilbert spaces of analytic functions. One feature is the introduction of ideas from commutative algebra to operator theory. Specifically, we introduce a…
Cohomology fractals are images naturally associated to cohomology classes in hyperbolic three-manifolds. We generate these images for cusped, incomplete, and closed hyperbolic three-manifolds in real-time by ray-tracing to a fixed visual…
We consider a large class of self-adjoint elliptic problem associated with the second derivative acting on a space of vector-valued functions. We present two different approaches to the study of the associated eigenvalues problems. The…
Let $a(x,\xi)$ be a real H\"ormander symbol of the type $S_{0,0}^0(\mathbb{R}^{d}\times \mathbb{R}^d)$, let $F$ be a smooth function with all its derivatives globally bounded, and let $K_\delta$ be the self-adjoint Weyl quantization of the…
We establish a splitting formula for the spectral flow of the odd signature operator on a closed 3-manifold M coupled to a path of SU(2) connections, provided M = S cup X, where S is the solid torus. It describes the spectral flow on M in…
We provide Fredholm conditions for compatible differential operators on certain Lie manifolds (that is, on certain possibly non-compact manifolds with nice ends). We discuss in more detail the case of manifolds with cylindrical, hyperbolic,…
Let H be a separable Hilbert space, and D(B(H))^ah the anti-Hermitian bounded diagonals in some fixed orthonormal basis and K(H) the compact operators. We study the group of unitary operators U_kd = {u in U(H): such that u-e^D in K(H) for D…
We show that the (graded) spectral flow of a family of Toeplitz operators on a complete Riemannian manifold is equal to the index of a certain Callias-type operator. When the dimension of the manifold is even this leads to a cohomological…
Given two Hilbert spaces, $\mathcal{H}$ and $\mathcal{K}$, we introduce an abstract unitary operator $U$ on $\mathcal{H}$ and its discriminant $T$ on $\mathcal{K}$ induced by a coisometry from $\mathcal{H}$ to $\mathcal{K}$ and a unitary…
We study the relation between spectral flow and index theory within the framework of (unbounded) KK-theory. In particular, we consider a generalised notion of 'Dirac-Schr\"odinger operators', consisting of a self-adjoint elliptic…
We establish a general link between integrable systems in algebraic geometry (expressed as Jacobian flows on spectral curves) and soliton equations (expressed as evolution equations on flat connections). Our main result is a natural…
Important spectral features, such as the emptiness of the residual spectrum, countability of the point spectrum, provided the space is separable, and a characterization of spectral gap at $0$, known to hold for bounded scalar type spectral…
We show that the principle "nonvanishing of spectral flow of the linearization along the trivial branch entails bifurcation of nontrivial solutions ", proved in \cite{FPR} for critical points of one parameter families of $C^2$ functionals…
