This paper proves that the domain of the Laplacian, $\DEL,$ on a closed Riemannian manifold, $(M,g),$ is compactly embedded in $L^{2} (M) .$ Particularly, the resolvent of the Laplacian, $(\DEL + 1)^{-1},$ is shown to be compactly embedded…

We derive new estimates for the number of discrete eigenvalues of compactly perturbed operators on Banach spaces, assuming that the perturbing operator is an element of a weak entropy number ideal. Our results improve upon earlier results…

We consider the problem of geometric optimization for the lowest eigenvalue of the two-dimensional Schr\"odinger operator with an attractive $\delta$-interaction supported on an open arc with two free endpoints. Under a constraint of fixed…

The existence of a self similar Laplacian on the Projective Octagasket, a non-finitely ramified fractal is only conjectured. We present experimental results using a cell approximation technique originally given by Kusuoka and Zhou. A…

Let $A$ be an elliptic pseudo-differential operator of order $m$ on a closed manifold $\mathcal{X}$ of dimension $n>0$, formally positive self-adjoint with respect to some positive smooth density $d\mu_\mathcal{X}$. Then, the spectrum of…

Inspired by a result of Wong (Commun. Partial Differ. Equ. 13(10):1209-1221, 1988), we establish an analytic description of the essential spectrum of non-self-adjoint mixed-order systems of pseudo-differential operators on…

We study the spectrum of an operator matrix arising in the spectral analysis of the energy operator of the spin-boson model of radioactive decay with two bosons on the torus. An analytic description of the essential spectrum is established.…

We obtain upper and lower bounds for Steklov eigenvalues of submanifolds with prescribed boundary in Euclidean space. A very general upper bound is proved, which depends only on the geometry of the fixed boundary and on the measure of the…

Let $\Omega$ be a curvilinear polygon and $Q^\gamma_{\Omega}$ be the Laplacian in $L^2(\Omega)$, $Q^\gamma_{\Omega}\psi=-\Delta \psi$, with the Robin boundary condition $\partial_\nu \psi=\gamma \psi$, where $\partial_\nu$ is the outer…

In this paper, we study the non-self-dual extended Harper's model with a Liouville frequency. Based on the work of \cite{SY}, we show that the integrated density of states (IDS for short) of the model is $\frac{1}{2}$-H$\ddot{\text{o}}$lder…

We investigate the relation between the eigenvalues of the Laplacian with Kirchhoff vertex conditions on a finite metric graph and a corresponding Titchmarsh-Weyl function (a parameter-dependent Neumann-to-Dirichlet map). We give a complete…

I present a discussion of the hierarchy of Toda flows that gives center stage to the associated cocycles and the maps they induce on the $m$ functions. In the second part, these ideas are then applied to canonical systems; an important…

Hydrogeologic models are commonly over-smoothed relative to reality, owing to the difficulty of obtaining accurate high-resolution information about the subsurface. When used in an inversion context, such models may introduce systematic…

We prove that, if an isospectral torus contains a discrete Schr\"odinger operator with nonconstant potential, the shift dynamics on that torus cannot be minimal. Consequently, we specify a generic sense in which finite unions of…

We give a complete description, provided with a mathematical proof, of the shape of the spectrum of the Hill operator with a PT-symmetric periodic optical potential. We prove that the second critical point, after which the real parts of the…

We study the discrete spectrum of the Robin Laplacian $Q^{\Omega}_\alpha$ in $L^2(\Omega)$, \[ u\mapsto -\Delta u, \quad \dfrac{\partial u}{\partial n}=\alpha u \text{ on }\partial\Omega, \] where $\Omega\subset \mathbb{R}^{3}$ is a conical…

In this paper we construct the spectral expansion for the differential operator generated in all real line by ordinary differential expression of arbitrary order with periodic complex-valued coefficients by introducing new concepts as…

We prove that refined analytic torsion on a manifold with boundary is an analytic section of the determinant line bundle over the representation variety. As a fundamental application we establish a gluing formula for refined analytic…

We establish multiparameter resolvent trace expansions for elliptic boundary value problems, polyhomogeneous both in the resolvent and the auxiliary parameter. The present analysis is rooted in the joint project with Matthias Lesch on…

This paper is about a shape optimization problem related to the Dirichlet Laplacian eingevalues in the Euclidean plane. More precisely we study the shape of the minimizer in the class of open sets of constant width. We prove that the disk…
