We consider homoclinic solutions for Hamiltonian systems in symplectic Hilbert spaces and generalise spectral flow formulas that were proved by Pejsachowicz and the author in finite dimensions some years ago. Roughly speaking, our main…

We give an elementary proof of a celebrated theorem of Cappell, Lee and Miller which relates the Maslov index of a pair of paths of Lagrangian subspaces to the spectral flow of an associated path of selfadjoint first-order operators. We…

The spectral flow is a well-known quantity in spectral theory that measures the variation of spectra about $0$ along paths of selfadjoint Fredholm operators. The aim of this work is twofold. Firstly, we consider homotopy invariance…

First, we prove a local spectral flow formula (Theorem 3.7) for a differentiable curve of selfadjoint Fredholm operators. This formula enables us to prove in a simple way a general spectral flow formula. Secondly, we prove a splitting…

A family of maps or flows depending on a parameter $\nu$ which varies in an interval, spans a certain property if along the interval this property depends continuously on the parameter and achieves some asymptotic values along it. We…

We show that the spectral flow of a one-parameter family of Schr\"odinger operators on a metric graph is equal to the Maslov index of a path of Lagrangian subspaces describing the vertex conditions. In addition, we derive an Hadamard-type…

We prove in full generality a formula that relates the spectral flow of a continuous path of quadratic forms of Fredholm type with the spectral flow of the restrictions of the forms to a fixed closed finite codimensional subspace. We then…

For many applications, critical information about system dynamics is encoded in associated eigenvalue problems that can be posed as linear Hamiltonian systems with suitable boundary conditions. Motivated by examples from hydrodynamics,…

We develop an index theory for variational problems on noncompact quantum graphs. The main results are a spectral flow formula, relating the net change of eigenvalues to the Maslov index of boundary data, and a Morse index theorem, equating…

We define a spectral flow for paths of selfadjoint Fredholm operators that are equivariant under the orthogonal action of a compact Lie group as an element of the representation ring of the latter. This $G$-equivariant spectral flow shares…

We consider a continuous path of bounded symmetric Fredholm bilinear forms with arbitrary endpoints on a real Hilbert space, and we prove a formula that gives the spectral flow of the path in terms of the spectral flow of the restriction to…

We define and study the noncommutative spectral flow for paths of regular selfadjoint Fredholm operators on a countably generated Hilbert C*-module. We give an axiomatic description and discuss some applications. One of them is the…

We derive a decomposition formula for the spectral flow of a 1-parameter family of self-adjoint Dirac operators on an odd-dimensional manifold $M$ split along a hypersurface $\Sigma$ ($M=X\cup_{\Sigma} Y$). No transversality or stretching…

We use the Maslov index to study the spectrum of a class of linear Hamiltonian differential operators. We provide a lower bound on the number of positive real eigenvalues, which includes a contribution to the Maslov index from a non-regular…

Working with a general class of linear Hamiltonian systems specified on $\mathbb{R}$, we develop a framework for relating the Maslov index to the number of eigenvalues the systems have on intervals of the form $[\lambda_1, \lambda_2)$ and…

We consider a continuous curve of linear elliptic formally self-adjoint differential operators of first order with smooth coefficients over a compact Riemannian manifold with boundary together with a continuous curve of global elliptic…

We study Hamiltonian difference schemes for scalar conservation laws with monotone flux function and establish the existence of a three-parameter family of periodic travelling waves (wavetrains). The proof is based on an integral equation…

Working with a general class of linear Hamiltonian systems with at least one singular boundary condition, we show that renormalized oscillation results can be obtained in a natural way through consideration of the Maslov index associated…

We establish a formula for the spectral flow of a smooth family of twisted Dirac operators on a closed odd-dimensional Riemannian spin manifold, generalizing a result by Getzler. The spectral flow is expressed in terms of the $\hat{A}$-form…

We compute, in topological terms, the spectral flow of an arbitrary family of self-adjoint Dirac type operators with classical (local) boundary conditions on a compact Riemannian manifold with boundary under the assumption that the initial…
