For a broad class of polynomial potentials $V$, with an important and instructive representative being $V(x) = x^{2a} + i x^b$, $x \in \mathbb R$, $a, b \in \mathbb N$, we show that the system of spectral projections $\{P_n\}_n$ of an…

Let $ \Lambda (s) := \Gamma(s+1)\, (1-2^{1-s}) \, \zeta(s) $, and denote its set of zeros by $ Z_\Lambda := Z_\zeta \cup Z_\mathrm{p} $, where $ Z_\zeta $ consists of the nontrivial zeros of $ \zeta(s) $ and $ Z_\mathrm{p} $ those of the…

We study the $L^2$-gradient flow of functionals $\mathcal F$ depending on the eigenvalues of Schr\"odinger potentials $V$ for a wide class of differential operators associated to closed, symmetric, and coercive bilinear forms, including the…

Based on the recent work \cite{KKK} for compact potentials, we develop the spectral theory for the one-dimensional discrete Schr\"odinger operator $$ H \phi = (-\De + V)\phi=-(\phi_{n+1} + \phi_{n-1} - 2 \phi_n) + V_n \phi_n. $$ We show…

We present an analytical study for the scattering amplitudes (Reflection $|R|$ and Transmission $|T|$), of the periodic ${\cal{PT}}$ symmetric optical potential $ V(x) = \displaystyle W_0 \left( \cos ^2 x + i V_0 \sin 2x \right) $ confined…

Here is a sample of the results proved in this paper: Let $f:{\bf R}\to {\bf R}$ be a continuous function, let $\rho>0$ and let $\omega:[0,\rho[\to [0,+\infty[$ be a continuous increasing function such that $\lim_{\xi\to…

Let $f$ be a function on ${\Bbb R}^2$ in the inhomogeneous Besov space $B_{\infty,1}^1({\Bbb R}^2)$. For a pair $(A,B)$ of not necessarily bounded and not necessarily commuting self-adjoint operators, we define the function $f(A,B)$ of $A$…

Let $h$ be a harmonic function defined on a spherical disk. It is shown that $\Delta^k |h|^2$ is nonnegative for all $k\in \mathbb{N}$ where $\Delta$ is the Laplace-Beltrami operator. This fact is generalized to harmonic functions defined…

Let $M$ be a Riemannian manifold, $\tau: G \times M \to M$ an isometric action on $M$ of an $n$-torus $G$ and $V: M \to \mathbb R$ a bounded $G$-invariant smooth function. By $G$-invariance the Schr\"odinger operator, $P=-\hbar^2…

The spectral bound, s(a A + b V), of a combination of a resolvent positive linear operator A and an operator of multiplication V, was shown by Kato to be convex in b \in R. This is shown here, through an elementary lemma, to imply that s(a…

We introduce a new family of Schur functions $s_{\lambda/\mu;a,b}(x/y)$ that depend on two sets of variables and two sequences of parameters. These free fermionic Schur functions have a hidden symmetry between the two sets of parameters…

We construct a two-parameter complex function $\eta_{\kappa \nu}:\mathbb{C}\to \mathbb{C}$, $\kappa \in (0, \infty)$, $\nu\in (0,\infty)$ that we call a holomorphic nonlinear embedding and that is given by a double series which is…

Let $S_n$ denote the symmetric group on $n$ elements, and $\Sigma\subseteq S_{n}$ a symmetric subset of permutations. Aldous' spectral gap conjecture, proved by Caputo, Liggett and Richthammer [arXiv:0906.1238], states that if $\Sigma$ is a…

The paper studies the spectral properties of the Schr\"odinger operator $A_{gV} = A_0 + gV$ on a homogeneous rooted metric tree, with a decaying real-valued potential $V$ and a coupling constant $g\ge 0$. The spectrum of the free Laplacian…

In this note prove the following Berwald-type inequality, showing that for any integrable log-concave function $f:\mathbb R^n\rightarrow[0,\infty)$ and any concave function $h:L\rightarrow\mathbb [0,\infty)$, where $L$ is the epigraph of…

So far the spectra $E_n(N)$ of the paradigm model of complex PT(Parity-Time)-symmetric potential $V_{BB}(x,N)=-(ix)^N$ is known to be analytically continued for $N > 4$. Consequently, the well known eigenvalues of the Hermitian cases…

We report on some properties of the $\xi(s)$ function and its value on the critical line, $\Xi(t)=\xi\left(\tfrac{1}{2}+it\right)$. First, we present some identities that hold for the log derivatives of a holomorphic function. We then…

The spectrum of two-point functions in a holographic renormalization group flow from an ultraviolet (UV) to an infrared (IR) conformal fixed point is necessarily continuous. For a toy model, the spectral function does not only show the…

For a harmonic map $u:M^3\to S^1$ on a closed, oriented $3$--manifold, we establish the identity $$2\pi \int_{\theta\in S^1}\chi(\Sigma_{\theta})\geq \frac{1}{2}\int_{\theta\in S^1}\int_{\Sigma_{\theta}}(|du|^{-2}|Hess(u)|^2+R_M)$$ relating…
