Ergodic theory includes several notions of entropy for probability-preserving actions of countable groups. These include Kolmogorov--Sinai entropy based on F\o lner sequences for amenable groups, entropy defined using a random ordering of…

We construct a special class of semiclassical Fourier integral operators whose wave fronts are symplectic micromorphisms. These operators have very good properties: they form a category on which the wave front map becomes a functor into the…

In this paper, we develop a semi-classical analysis on H-type groups. We define semi-classical pseudodifferential operators, prove the boundedness of their action on square integrable functions and develop a symbolic calculus. Then, we…

The convergence of the so-called quadratic method for computing eigenvalue enclosures of general self-adjoint operators is examined. Explicit asymptotic bounds for convergence to isolated eigenvalues are found. These bounds turn out to…

We consider symmetric second-order differential operators with real coefficients such that the corresponding differential equation is in the limit circle case at infinity. Our goal is to construct the theory of self-adjoint realizations of…

We give a detailed description of the resolution of the identity of a second order $q$-difference operator considered as an unbounded self-adjoint operator on two different Hilbert spaces. The $q$-difference operator and the two choices of…

We study connections between the ring of symmetric functions and the characters of irreducible finite-dimensional representations of quantum affine algebras. We study two families of representations of the symplectic and orthogonal Lie…

We use elementary methods to compute the L2-dimension of the eigenspaces of the Markov operator on the lamplighter group and of generalizations of this operator on other groups. In particular, we give a transparent explanation of the…

We prove a new criterion that guarantees self-adjointness of Toeplitz operator with unbounded operator-valued symbols. Our criterion applies, in particular, to symbols with Lipschitz continuous derivatives, which is the natural class of…

Diophantine approximation explores how well irrational numbers can be approximated by rationals, with foundational results by Dirichlet, Hurwitz, and Liouville culminating in Roth's theorem. Schmidt's subspace theorem extends Roth's results…

A decomposition theorem for self-adjoint operators proved by Riesz and Lorch is extended to normal operators. This extension gives a new proof of the spectral theorem for unbounded normal operators.

Let $L$ be a non-negative self-adjoint operator acting on the space $L^2(X)$, where $X$ is a metric measure space. Let ${ L}=\int_0^{\infty} \lambda dE_{ L}({\lambda})$ be the spectral resolution of ${ L}$ and $S_R({ L})f=\int_0^R dE_{…

We treat spectral problems by twisted groupoid methods. To Hausdorff locally compact groupoids endowed with a continuous $2$-cocycle one associates the reduced twisted groupoid $C^*$-algebra. Elements (or multipliers) of this algebra admit…

We study the notion of linear sofic approximations for algebras, analogous to the concept of sofic representations for groups. We prove that for a finitely generated amenable $K$-algebra with no zero divisors, all linear sofic…

In a previous work we apply lattice point theorems on hyperbolic spaces obtaining asymptotic formulas for the number of integral representations of negative integers by quadratic and hermitian forms of signature (n,1) lying in Euclidean…

Sharp upper and lower estimates are obtained of the approximation numbers of a Sobolev embedding and an integral operator of Volterra type. These lead to asymptotic formulae for the approximation numbers and certain other s-numbers.

We consider elliptic second order partial differential operators with Lipschitz continuous leading order coefficients on finite cubes and the whole Euclidean space. We prove quantitative sampling and equidistribution theorems for…

We study the limiting behavior of the eigenvalues of Krein-Feller-Operators with respect to weakly convergent probability measures. Therefore, we give a representation of the eigenvalues as zeros of measure theoretic sine functions.…

In this paper, we introduce an algebro-geometric formulation for Faltings' theorem on diophantine approximation on abelian varieties using an improvement of Faltings-Wustholz observation over number fields. In fact, we prove that, for any…
