We give both lower and upper estimates for eigenvalues of unbounded positive definite operators in an arbitrary Hilbert space. We show scaling robust relative eigenvalue estimates for these operators in analogy to such estimates of current…

We derive necessary and sufficient conditions for a one-dimensional periodic Schr\"odinger (i.e., Hill) operator H=-d^2/dx^2+V in L^2(R) to be a spectral operator of scalar type. The conditions demonstrate the remarkable fact that the…

We provide a comparative treatment of some aspects of spectral theory for self-adjoint and non-self-adjoint (but J-self-adjoint) Dirac-type operators connected with the defocusing and focusing nonlinear Schr\"odinger equation, of relevance…

We consider the Dirichlet Laplacian in infinite two-dimensional strips defined as uniform tubular neighbourhoods of curves on ruled surfaces. We show that the negative Gauss curvature of the ambient surface gives rise to a Hardy inequality…

We study extremal properties of the determinant of the Laplacian in the Bergman metric on the moduli space of compact genus two Riemann surfaces. By a combination of analytical and numerical methods we identify four non-degenerate critical…

We give a complete classification and present new exotic phenomena of the meromorphic structure of $\zeta$-functions associated to general self-adjoint extensions of Laplace-type operators over conic manifolds. We show that the meromorphic…

Developed in 1999 by Akemann, Anderson, and Weaver, the spectral scale of an $n\times n$ matrix $A$, is a convex, compact subset of $\mathbb{R}^3$ that reveals important spectral information about $A$ \cite{AAW}. In this paper we present…

The purpose of the present work is solving the characterization problem for one class of second order operator pencil with complex periodic coefficients, which consists of identification of necessary and sufficient conditions on the…

We strengthen and generalise a result of Kirsch and Simon on the behaviour of the function $N_L(E)$, the number of bound states of the operator $L = \Delta+V$ in $\R^d$ below $-E$. Here $V$ is a bounded potential behaving asymptotically…

New special types of stationary conservative impedance and scattering systems, the so-called non-canonical systems, involving triplets of Hilbert spaces and projection operators, are considered. It is established that every matrix-valued…

In recent works we considered an asymptotic problem for orthogonal polynomials when a Szeg\"o measure on the unit circumference is perturbed by an arbitrary Blaschke sequence of point masses outside the unit disk. In the current work we…

We review recent advances in the spectral theory of Schr\"odinger operators with decaying potentials. The area has seen spectacular progress in the past few years, stimulated by several conjectures stated by Barry Simon starting at the 1994…

Sharp upper bounds for the first eigenvalue of the Laplacian on a surface of a fixed area are known only in genera zero and one. We investigate the genus two case and conjecture that the first eigenvalue is maximized on a singular surface…

we obtain the asympotics for the counting function of resonances for a matrix valued schrodinger operator in dimension one.

We consider a semi-classical Schr\"odinger operator, -h^2\Delta + V(x). Assuming that the potential admits a unique global minimum and that the eigenvalues of the Hessian are linearly independent over the rationals, we show that the…

We present some applications of ideas from partial differential equations and differential geometry to the study of difference equations on infinite graphs. All operators that we consider are examples of "elliptic operators" as defined by…

In this paper the realization problems for the Krein-Langer class $N_\kappa$ of matrix-valued functions are being considered. We found the criterion when a given matrix-valued function from the class $N_\kappa$ can be realized as…

Assume that $Au=f,\quad (1)$ is a solvable linear equation in a Hilbert space $H$, $A$ is a linear, closed, densely defined, unbounded operator in $H$, which is not boundedly invertible, so problem (1) is ill-posed. It is proved that the…

We consider the Schr\"odinger operator on the real line with a 2x2 matrix valued 1-periodic potential. The spectrum of this operator is absolutely continuous and consists of intervals separated by gaps. We define a Lyapunov function which…

In this article we obtain the asymptotic formulas for the eigenvalues and eigenfunctions of the self-adjoint operator generated by a system of Sturm-Liouville equations with summable coefficients and the quasiperiodic boundary conditions.…
