Twistor Operators and Eigenvalues of the Dirac Operator on Compact Quaternion-Kähler Spin Manifolds

Quaternion-Kähler twistor operators are introduced. Using these operators with the Lichnerowicz formula, we get lower bounds for the square of the eigenvalues of the Dirac operator in terms of the eigenvalues of the fundamental 4-form.     

On the approximation of isolated eigenvalues of ordinary differential operators

We extend a result of Stolz and Weidmann on the approximation of isolated eigenvalues of singular Sturm-Liouville and Dirac operators by the eigenvalues of regular operators.

     

Pseudodifferential operators on ultra-modulation spaces

The boundedness of pseudodifferential operators on modulation spaces defined by the means of almost exponential weights is studied. The results are applied to symbol class with almost exponential bounds including polynomial and ultra-polynomial symbols. The Weyl correspondence is used and it is noted that the results can be transferred to the operators with appropriate anti-Wick symbols. It is proved that a class of elliptic pseudodifferential operators can be almost diagonalized by the elements of Wilson bases, and estimates for their eigenvalues are given. Furthermore, it is shown that the same can be done by using Gabor frames.     

Hypercyclicity and unimodular point spectrum

We show that an operator on a separable complex Banach space with sufficiently many eigenvectors associated to eigenvalues of modulus 1 is hypercyclic. We apply this result to construct hypercyclic operators with prescribed K_σ unimodular point spectrum. We show how eigenvectors associated to unimodular eigenvalues can be used to exhibit common hypercyclic vectors for uncountable families of operators, and prove that the family of composition operators C_? on H²(D), where ? is a disk automorphism having +1 as attractive fixed point, has a residual set of common hypercyclic vectors.     

Schrödinger operators with slowly decaying potentials

Several recent papers have obtained bounds on the distribution of eigenvalues of non-self-adjoint Schrödinger operators and resonances of self-adjoint operators. In this paper we describe two new methods of obtaining such bounds when the potential decays more slowly than previously permitted.     

Perturbation determinants in Banach spaces — with an application to eigenvalue estimates for perturbed operators

In the first part of this paper we provide a self‐contained introduction to (regularized) perturbation determinants for operators in Banach spaces. In the second part, we use these determinants to derive new bounds on the discrete eigenvalues of compactly perturbed operators, broadly extending some recent results by Demuth et al. In addition, we also establish new bounds on the discrete eigenvalues of generators of C₀‐semigroups.     

Inequalities for eigenvalues of the polyharmonic operator Δ p

In this paper we consider the bounds of the eigenvalues for a class of polyharmonic operators and obtain the bounds for (n+1)th eigenvalue interm of the firstn eigenvalues. Those estimates do not depend on the domain in which the problem is considered.     

Error bounds in the approximation of eigenvalues of differential and integral operators

Various methods of approximating the eigenvalues and invariant subspaces of nonself-adjoint differential and integral operators are unified in a general theory. Error bounds are given, from which most of the error bounds in the literature can be derived. Computable error bounds are given for simple eigenvalues, and trace formulae are used to improve the accuracy of the computed eigenvalues.     

Invertibility And Positive Invertibility Of Hille–Tamarkin Integral Operators

Hille–Tamarkin integral operators on the space are considered. Invertibility conditions, estimates for the norm of the inverse operators and positive invertibility conditions are established. In addition, bounds for the spectral radius are suggested. Applications to nonselfadjoint differential operators and integro-differential ones are discussed.     

A Weak Gordon Type Condition for Absence of Eigenvalues of One-dimensional Schrödinger Operators

We study one-dimensional Schrödinger operators with complex measures as potentials and present an improved criterion for absence of eigenvalues which involves a weak local periodicity condition. The criterion leads to sharp quantitative bounds on the eigenvalues. We apply our result to quasiperiodic measures as potentials.     

Embedded eigenvalues for perturbed periodic Jacobi operators using a geometric approach

We consider the problem of embedding eigenvalues into the essential spectrum of periodic Jacobi operators, using an oscillating, decreasing potential. To do this we employ a geometric method, previously used to embed eigenvalues into the essential spectrum of the discrete Schrödinger operator. For periodic Jacobi operators we relax the rational dependence conditions on the values of the quasi-momenta from this previous work. We then explore conditions that permit not just the existence of infinitely many subordinate solutions to the formal spectral equation but also the embedding of infinitely many eigenvalues.     

Trace formulas for non-self-adjoint periodic Schrödinger operators and some applications

Recently, a trace formula for non-self-adjoint periodic Schrödinger operators in L²(R) associated with Dirichlet eigenvalues was proved in [Differential Integral Equations 14 (2001) 671-700]. Here we prove a corresponding trace formula associated with Neumann eigenvalues. In addition we investigate Dirichlet and Neumann eigenvalues of such operators. In particular, using the Dirichlet and Neumann trace formulas, we provide detailed information on location of the Dirichlet and Neumann eigenvalues for the model operator with the potential Ke2ix, where K∈C.     

Positive Invertibility of Nonselfadjoint Operators

The paper deals with a class of nonselfadjoint operators in a separable Hilbert lattice. Conditions for the positive invertibility are derived. Moreover, upper and lower estimates for the inverse operator are established. In addition, bounds for the positive spectrum are suggested. Applications to integral operators, integro-differential operators and infinite matrices are discussed.     

Eigenvalue Inequalities in Terms of Schatten Norm Bounds on Differences of Semigroups, and Application to Schrödinger Operators

We develop a new method for obtaining bounds on the negative eigenvalues of self-adjoint operators B in terms of a Schatten norm of the difference of the semigroups generated by A and B, where A is an operator with non-negative spectrum. Our method is based on the application of the Jensen identity of complex function theory to a suitably constructed holomorphic function, whose zeros are in one-to-one correspondence with the negative eigenvalues of B. Applying our abstract results, together with bounds on Schatten norms of semigroup differences obtained by Demuth and Van Casteren, to Schr?dinger operators, we obtain inequalities on moments of the sequence of negative eigenvalues, which are different from the Lieb–Thirring inequalities.

A note on bounds for non-linear multivalued homogenized operators

In this paper we study the behaviour of maximal monotone multivalued highly oscillatory operators. We construct Reuss-Voigt-Wiener and Hashin-Shtrikmann type bounds for the minimal sections of G-limits of multivalued operators by using variational convergence and convex analysis.     

Explicit eigenvalue estimates for transfer operators acting on spaces of holomorphic functions

We consider transfer operators acting on spaces of holomorphic functions, and provide explicit bounds for their eigenvalues. More precisely, if Ω is any open set in Cd, and L is a suitable transfer operator acting on Bergman space A²(Ω), its eigenvalue sequence {λn(L)} is bounded by |λn(L)|?Aexp(−an1/d), where a,A>0 are explicitly given.     

Inequalities for the Eigenvalues of Non-Selfadjoint Jacobi Operators

We prove Lieb-Thirring-type bounds on eigenvalues of non-selfadjoint Jacobi operators, which are nearly as strong as those proven previously for the case of selfadjoint operators by Hundertmark and Simon. We use a method based on determinants of operators and on complex function theory, extending and sharpening earlier work of Borichev, Golinskii and Kupin.     

A-priori bounds and asymptotics on the eigenvalues in bifurcation problems for perturbed self-adjoint operators

We prove upper and lower bounds on the eigenvalues and discuss their asymptotic behaviour (as the norm of the eigenvector tends to zero) in bifurcation problems from the line of trivial solutions, considering perturbations of linear self-adjoint operators in a Hilbert space. The proofs are based on the Lyapounov-Schmidt reduction. The results are applied to a class of semilinear elliptic operators in bounded domains of RN and in particular to Sturm-Liouville operators.     

Bound on the number of eigenvalues near the boundary of the pseudospectrum

We show an estimate of the number of eigenvalues in a neighbourhood of a finite part of the boundary of the semiclassical pseudospectrum of pseudodifferential non-selfadjoint operators in terms of a corresponding volume in phase space.

     

Singular values of fractional integral operators: A unification of theorems of Hille, Tamarkin, and Chang

We obtain upper bounds on the singular values of fractional integral operators of the form under the constraint α > 0. These bounds are employed to extend various results obtained over the last half century on the rate of decrease of eigenvalues and singular values of much more general integral operators. Apart from one relatively difficult theorem of Hardy and Littlewood (Math. Z., 27 (1928), 565–606) the devices used are quite simple. They involve no complex variable arguments.
