We study the operator theory associated with such infinite graphs $G$ as occur in electrical networks, in fractals, in statistical mechanics, and even in internet search engines. Our emphasis is on the determination of spectral data for a…

We provide a streamlined construction of the Friedrichs extension of a densely-defined self-adjoint and semibounded operator $A$ on a Hilbert space $\mathcal{H}$, by means of a symmetric pair of operators. A \emph{symmetric pair} is…

Using functions from electrical networks (graphs with resistors assigned to edges), we prove existence (with explicit formulas) of a canonical Parseval frame in the energy Hilbert space $\mathscr{H}_{E}$ of a prescribed infinite (or finite)…

For a given infinite connected graph $G=(V,E)$ and an arbitrary but fixed conductance function $c$, we study an associated graph Laplacian $\Delta_{c}$; it is a generalized difference operator where the differences are measured across the…

A resistance network is a connected graph $(G,c)$. The conductance function $c_{xy}$ weights the edges, which are then interpreted as resistors of possibly varying strengths. The relationship between the natural Dirichlet form $\mathcal E$…

Recent applications of large network models to machine learning, and to neural network suggest a need for a systematic study of the general correspondence, (i) discrete vs (ii) continuous. Even if the starting point is (i), limit…

A resistance network is a connected graph $(G,c)$. The conductance function $c_{xy}$ weights the edges, which are then interpreted as conductors of possibly varying strengths. The Dirichlet energy form $\mathcal E$ produces a Hilbert space…

We study the evolution of the heat and of a free quantum particle (described by the Schr\"odinger equation) on two-dimensional manifolds endowed with the degenerate Riemannian metric $ds^2=dx^2+|x|^{-2\alpha}d\theta^2$, where $x\in \mathbb…

Motivated by potential theory on discrete spaces, we study a family of unbounded Hermitian operators in Hilbert space which generalize the usual graph-theoretic discrete Laplacian. These operators are discrete analogues of the classical…

This paper has two main goals. First, we are concerned with the classification of self-adjoint extensions of the Laplacian $-\Delta\big|_{C^\infty_0(\Omega)}$ in $L^2(\Omega; d^n x)$. Here, the domain $\Omega$ belongs to a subclass of…

This is an expository paper about self-adjoint extensions of the Laplacian on R^d, initially defined on functions supported away from a point. Let L be the Laplacian with domain smooth functions with compact support away from the origin. We…

We compare the space of square-summable functions on an infinite graph (denoted $\ell^2(G)$) with the space of functions of finite energy (denoted $\mathcal{H}_{\mathcal{E}}$). There is a notion of inclusion that allows $\ell^2(G)$ to be…

We use boundary triples to find a parametrization of all self-adjoint extensions of the magnetic Schr\"odinger operator, in a quasi-convex domain~$\Omega$ with compact boundary, and magnetic potentials with components in…

The Laplace operator admits infinite self-adjoint extensions when considered on a segment of the real line. They have different domains of essential self-adjointness characterized by a suitable set of boundary conditions on the wave…

An analysis of the invariance properties of self-adjoint extensions of symmetric operators under the action of a group of symmetries is presented. For a given group $G$, criteria for the existence of $G$-invariant self-adjoint extensions of…

Given a unitary representation of a Lie group $G$ on a Hilbert space $\mathcal{H}$, we develop the theory of $G$-invariant self-adjoint extensions of symmetric operators both using von Neumann's theorem and the theory of quadratic forms. We…

Let $A_\N$ be the symmetric operator given by the restriction of $A$ to $\N$, where $A$ is a self-adjoint operator on the Hilbert space $\H$ and $\N$ is a linear dense set which is closed with respect to the graph norm on $D(A)$, the…

The Grushin plane serves as one of the simplest examples of a sub-Riemannian manifold whose distribution is of non-constant rank. Despite the fact that the singular set where this distribution drops rank is itself a smoothly embedded…

We discuss the Hamiltonian for a nonrelativistic electron with spin in the presence of an abelian magnetic monopole and note that it is not self-adjoint in the lowest two angular momentum modes. We then use von Neumann's theory of…

We provide a simple recipe for obtaining all self-adjoint extensions, together with their resolvent, of the symmetric operator $S$ obtained by restricting the self-adjoint operator $A:\D(A)\subseteq\H\to\H$ to the dense, closed with respect…
