We consider the local statistics of $H = V^* X V + U^* Y U$ where $V$ and $U$ are independent Haar-distributed unitary matrices, and $X$ and $Y$ are deterministic real diagonal matrices. In the bulk, we prove that the gap statistics and…

In the present paper, we treat random matrix products on the general linear group $\textrm{GL}(V)$, where $V$ is a vector space defined on any local field, when the top Lyapunov exponent is simple, without irreducibility assumption. In…

Let $G=\mathrm{SL}(2,\mathbb{Z})\ltimes\mathbb{Z}^2$ and $H=\mathrm{SL}(2,\mathbb{Z})$. We prove that the action $G\curvearrowright\mathbb{R}^2$ is uniformly non-amenable and that the quasi-regular representation of $G$ on $\ell^2(G/H)$ has…

Kazhdan's property (T) has been studied for several discrete group-like structures, including standard invariants of Jones' subfactors and discrete quantum groups. We prove a Zuk-type spectral gap criterion for property (T) in this setting.…

We introduce the notion of \emph{joint spectrum} of a compact set of matrices $S \subset GL_d(\mathbb{C})$, which is a multi-dimensional generalization of the joint spectral radius. We begin with a thorough study of its properties (under…

It is proved that the Green's function of the simple random walk on a surface group of large genus decays exponentially at the spectral radius. It is also shown that Ancona's inequalities extend to the spectral radius R, and therefore that…

For any topological group $G$ the dual object $\hat G$ is defined as the set of equivalence classes of irreducible unitary representations of $G$ equipped with the Fell topology. If $G$ is compact, $\hat G$ is discrete, and we investigate…

General, especially spectral, features of compact normal operators in quaternionic Hilbert spaces are studied and some results are established which generalize well-known properties of compact normal operators in complex Hilbert spaces.…

We prove equivariant spectral asymptotics for $ h$-pseudodifferential operators for compact orthogonal group actions generalizing results of El-Houakmi and Helffer (1991) and Cassanas (2006). Using recent results for certain oscillatory…

We consider compact locally symmetric spaces $\Gamma\backslash G/H$ where $G/H$ is a non-compact semisimple symmetric space and $\Gamma$ is a discrete subgroup of $G$. We discuss some features of the joint spectrum of the (commutative)…

In this paper. we study properties such as $L^r$-boundedness, compactness, belonging to Schatten classes and nuclearity, Riesz spectral theory, Fredholmness, ellipticity and Gohberg's lemma, among others, for pseudo-differential operators…

Let $A$ be a $C^*$-algebra and $I$ be a closed ideal in $A$. For $x\in A$, its image under the canonical surjection $A\to A/I$ is denoted by $\dot x$, and the spectral radius of $x$ is denoted by $r(x)$. We prove that $$\max\{r(x), \|\dot…
