We prove that the $(k+d)$-th Neumann eigenvalue of the biharmonic operator on a bounded connected $d$-dimensional $(d\ge2)$ Lipschitz domain is not larger than its $k$-th Dirichlet eigenvalue for all $k\in\mathbb{N}$. For a special class of…
We study the spectrum of the differential operator T generated by the differential expression of order n>2 with the m by m PT-symmetric periodic matrix coefficients. The case when m and n are the odd numbers was investigated in [8]. In this…
In this paper, we consider the transport properties of the class of limit-periodic continuum Schr\"odinger operators whose potentials are approximated exponentially quickly by a sequence of periodic functions. For such an operator $H$, and…
Spectral asymptotics of the Sturm-Liouville problem with an arithmetically self-similar singular weight is considered. Previous results by A. A. Vladimirov and I. A. Sheipak, and also by the author, rely on the spectral periodicity…
We continue the search, begun by Kato, for all pairs of real, bounded, measurable functions $\{f,g\}$ that result in a positive commutator $[if(P),g(Q)]$. We prove a number of partial results including a connection with Loewner's celebrated…
We obtain upper bounds on the number of nodal domains of Laplace eigenfunctions on chain domains with Neumann boundary conditions. The chain domains consist of a family of planar domains, with piecewise smooth boundary, that are joined by…
In this paper, we study the twisted Ruelle zeta function associated with the geodesic flow of a compact, hyperbolic, odd-dimensional manifold $X$. The twisted Ruelle zeta function is associated with an acyclic representation $\chi\colon…
We consider sequences $(X_n)_{n\in \mathbb{N}}$ of coverings of convex cocompact hyperbolic surfaces $X$ with Euler characterictic $\chi(X_n)$ tending to $-\infty$ as $n\to \infty.$ We prove that for $n$ large enough, each $X_n$ has an…
The Random Wave Conjecture of M. V. Berry is the heuristic that eigenfunctions of a classically chaotic system should behave like Gaussian random fields, in the large eigenvalue limit. In this work we collect some definitions and properties…
We consider the vector-impulsive Sturm-Liouville problem with Neumann conditions. The Ambarzumyan$^{\textbf{,}}$s theorem for the problem is proved, which states that if the eigenvalues of the problem coincide with those of the zero…
Let $B(H)$ be the algebra of all bounded linear operators on infinite-dimensional complex Hilbert space $H$. For $T, S \in B(H)$ denote by $T\bullet S=TS+ST^{\ast}$ and $[T\circ S]_{\ast}=TS-ST^{\ast}$ the Jordan $\ast$-product and the skew…
In this note we study inverse spectral problems for canonical Hamiltonian systems, which encompass a broad class of second order differential equations on a half-line. Our goal is to extend the classical resultss developed in the work of…
We consider different phase spaces for the Toda flows and the less familiar SVD flows. For the Toda flow, we handle symmetric and non-symmetric matrices with real simple eigenvalues, possibly with a given profile. Profiles encode, for…
In this work, we consider Dirac-type operators with a constant delay less than two-fifths of the interval and not less than one-third of the interval. For our considered Dirac-type operators, an incomplete inverse spectral problem is…
The spectral theory of the Laplace differential operator for biregular quantum graphs is developed. Trees are studied in detail. Generating functions for closed non backtracking walks appear when resolvents for trees are related to…
The second eigenvalue of the Robin Laplacian is shown to be maximal for a spherical cap among simply connected Jordan domains on the 2-sphere, for substantial intervals of positive and negative Robin parameters and areas. Geodesic disks in…
In this paper we study the spectrum of self-adjoint Schr\"odinger operators in $L^2(\mathbb{R}^2)$ with a new type of transmission conditions along a smooth closed curve $\Sigma\subseteq \mathbb{R}^2$. Although these $\textit{oblique}$…
The structure of the spectrum of the three-dimensional Dirichlet Laplacian in the 3D polyhedral layer of fixed width is studied. It appears that the essential spectrum is defined by the smallest dihedral angle that forms the boundary of the…
In 1996 Erdoes showed that among planar domains of fixed area, the smallest principal eigenvalue of the Dirichlet Laplacian with a constant magnetic field is uniquely achieved on the disk. We establish a quantitative version of this…
We present a method to estimate the number of irreducible components of the Fermi varieties of periodic Schr\"odinger operators on graphs in terms of suitable asymptotics. Our main theorem is an abstract bound for the number of irreducible…
