We construct higher order spectral shift functions, extending the perturbation theory results of M. G. Krein and L. S. Koplienko on representations for the remainders of the first and second order Taylor-type approximations of operator…
For three classes of elliptic pseudodifferential operators on a compact manifold with boundary which have `geometric K-theory', namely the `transmission algebra' introduced by Boutet de Monvel, the `zero algebra' introduced by Mazzeo and…
We use the asymptotic expansion of the heat trace to express all residues of spectral zeta functions as regularized sums over the spectrum. The method extends to those spectral zeta functions that are localized by a bounded operator.
Generalized indefinite strings provide a canonical model for self-adjoint operators with simple spectrum (other classical models are Jacobi matrices, Krein strings and 2x2 canonical systems). We prove a number of Szeg\H{o}-type theorems for…
In this paper we use Riesz spectral Theory and Gershgorin Theory to obtain explicit information concerning the spectrum of pseudo-differential operators defined on the unit circle $\mathbb{T} := \mathbb{R}/ 2 \pi \mathbb{ Z}$. For symbols…
Given an essentially unitary contraction and an arbitrary unitary dilation of it, there is a naturally associated spectral flow which is shown to be equal to the index of the operator. This purely operator theoretic result is interpreted in…
Two recent papers proved that complex index pairings can be calculated as the half-signature of a finite dimensional matrix, called the spectral localizer. This paper contains a new proof of this connection for even index pairings based on…
Using simple commutator relations, we obtain several trace identities involving eigenvalues and eigenfunctions of an abstract self-adjoint operator acting in a Hilbert space. Applications involve abstract universal estimates for the…
We introduce certain correlation functions (graded $q$--traces) associated to vertex operator algebras and superalgebras which we refer to as $n$--point functions. These naturally arise in the studies of representations of Lie algebras of…
In this paper we study the spectral asymmetry of (possibly nonselfadjoint) elliptic PsiDO's in terms of the difference of zeta functions coming from different cuttings. Refining previous formulas of Wodzicki in the case of odd class…
We study the arithmetic Fourier transforms of trace functions on general connected commutative algebraic groups. To do so, we first prove a generic vanishing theorem for twists of perverse sheaves by characters, and using this tool, we…
Our goal is to extend the theory of the spectral shift function to the case where only the difference of some powers of the resolvents of self-adjoint operators belongs to the trace class. As an example, we consider a couple of Dirac…
We study notions of measurability for singular traces, and characterise universal measurability for operators in Dixmier ideals. This measurability result is then applied to improve on the various proofs of Connes' identification of the…
In this article, we provide the spectral analysis of a Dirac-type operator on $\mathbb{Z}^2$ by describing the behavior of the spectral shift function associated with a sign-definite trace-class perturbation by a multiplication operator. We…
Spectral functions relevant in the context of quantum field theory under the influence of spherically symmetric external conditions are analysed. Examples comprise heat-kernels, determinants and spectral sums needed for the analysis of…
We develop a discrete spectral framework for Dirichlet $L$-functions that reveals a combinatorial structure underlying their special values and connects this to their zeros. Our approach approximates the classical Dirichlet series by finite…
In this article we analyze the resolvent, the heat kernel and the spectral zeta function of the operator $-d^2/dr^2 - 1/(4r^2)$ over the finite interval. The structural properties of these spectral functions depend strongly on the chosen…
The problem of characterizing sequences of real numbers that arise as spectra of Dirichlet-to-Neumann (DtN) maps for elliptic operators has attracted considerable attention over the past fifty years. In this article, we address this…
In this paper, we use Schur elements to derive semisimplicity criteria for (super)symmetric superalgebras. We obtain a closed formula for the Schur elements of cyclotomic Hecke-Clifford superalgebras $\mathcal{H}^{f}_{\mathbb{K}}$. As…
The Dirac Hamiltonian with the Aharonov-Bohm potential provides an example of a non-Fredholm operator for which all spectral asymmetry comes entirely from the continuous spectrum. In this case one finds that the use of standard definitions…
