We consider the iteration of a unitary operator on a separable Hilbert space and study the spreading rates of the associated discrete-time dynamical system relative to a given orthonormal basis. We prove lower bounds for the transport…

We develop self-adjoint extensions of the l=1 radial part of the Laplace operator in a special scalar product. The product arises as the transfer of the plain product from R^3 into the set of functions parametrizing one of the two…

In this paper, we give a description of the spectrum of a class of non-selfadjoint perturbations of selfadjoint operators in dimension one and we show that it is given by Bohr-Sommerfeld quantization conditions. To achieve this, we make use…

We consider the elasticity operator with zero Poisson's ratio on an infinite strip and an infinite plate with a horizontal crack. We prove an asymptotic formula for the distance of the embedded eigenvalues to some spectral threshold of the…

We compute the limiting statistical distribution of the eigenvalues of sequences of matrices whose entries satisfy what we call a vanishing mean variation condition and are $\mu$-distributed for some probability measure. As an application…

We study the analytic torsion of odd-dimensional hyperbolic orbifolds $\Gamma \backslash \mathbb{H}^{2n+1}$, depending on a representation of $\Gamma$. Our main goal is to understand the asymptotic behavior of the analytic torsion with…

We study elements of the spectral theory of compact hyperbolic orbifolds $\Gamma \backslash \mathbb{H}^{n}$. We establish a version of the Selberg trace formula for non-unitary representations of $\Gamma$ and prove that the associated…

In the present article we will give a new proof of the ground state asymptotics of the Dirichlet Laplacian with a Neumann window acting on functions which are defined on a two-dimensional infinite strip or a three-dimensional infinite…

We study comparison formulas for $\zeta$-regularized determinants of self-adjoint extensions of the Laplacian on flat conical surfaces of genus $g\geq 2$. The cases of trivial and non-trivial holonomy of the metric turn out to differ…

We consider a class of Hankel operators $H$ realized in the space $L^2 ({\Bbb R}_{+}) $ as integral operators with kernels $h(t+s)$ where $h(t)=P (\ln t) t ^{-1}$ and $P(X)= X^n+p_{n-1} X^{n-1}+\cdots$ is an arbitrary real polynomial of…

A neutral network is a subgraph of a Hamming graph, and its principal eigenvalue determines its robustness: the ability of a population evolving on it to withstand errors. Here we consider the most robust small neutral networks: the graphs…

In this article, we study the zeta function $\zeta_q$ associated to the Laplace operator $\Delta_q$ acting on the space of the smooth $(0,q)$-forms with $q=0,\ldots,n$ on the complex projective space $\mathbb{P}^n(\mathbb{C})$ endowed with…

We study Riesz means of the eigenvalues of the Heisenberg Laplacian with Dirichlet boundary conditions on bounded domains. We obtain an inequality with a sharp leading term and an additional lower order term, improving the result of Hanson…

In this paper, we determine, in the case of the Laplacian on the flat three-dimensional torus $(\mathbb{R}/\mathbb{Z})^3$, all the eigenvalues having an eigenfunction which satisfies the Courant nodal domains theorem with equality…

In this paper we establish a Hardy inequality for Laplace operators with Robin boundary conditions. For convex domains, in particular, we show explicitly how the corresponding Hardy weight depends on the coefficient of the Robin boundary…

We consider discrete Schr\"odinger operators with pattern Sturmian potentials. This class of potentials strictly contains the class of Sturmian potentials, for which the spectral properties of the associated Schr\"odinger operators are well…

We derive dispersion estimates for solutions of the one-dimensional discrete perturbed Dirac equation. To this end we develop basic scattering theory and establish a limiting absorption principle for discrete perturbed Dirac operators.

We show that for a Jacobi operator with coefficients whose (j+1)'th moments are summable the j'th derivative of the scattering matrix is in the Wiener algebra of functions with summable Fourier coefficients. We use this result to improve…

The spectral properties of a class of non-selfadjoint second order elliptic operators with indefinite weight functions on unbounded domains $\Omega$ are investigated. It is shown that under an abstract regularity assumption the nonreal…

We introduce a notion of $\beta$-almost periodicity and prove quantitative lower spectral/quantum dynamical bounds for general bounded $\beta$-almost periodic potentials. Applications include a sharp arithmetic criterion of full spectral…
