Asymptotics of the scattering phase for the Dirac operator: High energy, semi-classical and non-relativistic limits

In this paper we prove several results for the scattering phase (spectral shift function) related with perturbations of the electromagnetic field for the Dirac operator in the Euclidean space. Many accurate results are now available for perturbations of the Schrödinger operator, in the high energy regime or in the semi-classical regime. Here we extend these results to the Dirac operator. There are several technical problems to overcome because the Dirac operator is a system, its symbol is a 4×4 matrix, and its continuous spectrum has positive and negative values. We show that we can separate positive and negative energies to prove high energy asymptotic expansion and we construct a semi-classical Foldy-Wouthuysen transformation in the semi-classical case. We also prove an asymptotic expansion for the scattering phase when the speed of light tends to infinity (non-relativistic limit).     

On the spectral theory of singular indefinite Sturm-Liouville operators

We consider a singular Sturm-Liouville differential expression with an indefinite weight function and we show that the corresponding self-adjoint differential operator in a Krein space locally has the same spectral properties as a definitizable operator.     

Quasimodes and Bohr-Sommerfeld Conditions for the Toeplitz Operators

Abstract

This article is devoted to the quantization of the Lagrangian submanifolds in the context of geometric quantization. The objects we define are similar to the Lagrangian distributions of the cotangent phase space theory. We apply this to construct quasimodes for the Toeplitz operators and we state the Bohr-Sommerfeld conditions under the usual regularity assumption. To compare with the Bohr-Sommerfeld conditions for a pseudodifferential operator with small parameter, the Maslov index, defined from the vertical polarization, is replaced with a curvature integral, defined from the complex polarization. We also consider the quantization of the symplectomorphisms, the realization of semi-classical equivalence between two different quantizations of a symplectic manifold and the microlocal equivalences.     

Reconstruction of the Dirac-Type Integro-Differential Operator From Nodal Data

Abstract

The inverse nodal problem for Dirac type integro-differential operator with the spectral parameter in the boundary conditions is studied. We prove that dense subset of the nodal points determines the coefficients of differential part of operator and gives partial information for integral part of it.     

Inner bounds for the spectrum of quasinormal operators

A linear operator in a separable Hilbert space is called a quasinormal one if it is a sum of a normal operator and a compact one. In the paper, bounds for the spectrum of quasinormal operators are established. In addition, the lower estimate for the spectral radius is derived. Under some restrictions, that estimate improves the well-known results. Applications to integral operators and matrices are discussed. Our results are new even in the finite-dimensional case.

     

Spectrum Problems for Singular Integral Operators with Carleman Shift

In this paper we are concerned with the complete spectral analysis for the operator 𝒯 = 𝒳𝒮𝒰 in the space L_p(𝕋) (𝕋 denoting the unit circle), where 𝒳 is the characteristic function of some arc of 𝕋, 𝒮 is the singular integral operator with Cauchy kernel and 𝒰 is a Carleman shift operator which satisfies the relations 𝒰² = I and 𝒮𝒰 = ±𝒰𝒮, where the sign + or — is taken in dependence on whether 𝒰 is a shift operator on L_p(𝕋) preserving or changing the orientation of 𝕋. This includes the identification of the Fredholm and essential parts of the spectrum of the operator 𝒯, the determination of the defect numbers of 𝒯 — λI, for λ in the Fredholm part of the spectrum, as well as a formula for the resolvent operator.     

Well-bounded operators on nonreflexive Banach spaces

Every well-bounded operator on a reflexive Banach space is of type (B), and hence has a nice integral representation with respect to a spectral family of projections. A longstanding open question in the theory of well-bounded operators is whether there are any nonreflexive Banach spaces with this property. In this paper we extend the known results to show that on a very large class of nonreflexive spaces, one can always find a well-bounded operator which is not of type (B). We also prove that on any Banach space, compact well-bounded operators have a simple representation as a combination of disjoint projections.

     

On the continuous analog of Rakhmanov's Theorem for orthogonal polynomials

We obtain the continuous analogs of Rakhmanov's Theorem for polynomials orthogonal on the unit circle. Sturm-Liouville operators and Krein systems are considered. For a Sturm-Liouville operator with bounded potential q, we prove the following statement. If the essential spectrum and absolutely continuous component of the spectral measure fill the whole positive half-line, then q decays at infinity in the certain integral sense.     

Toeplitz operators and Hamiltonian torus actions

This paper is devoted to semi-classical aspects of symplectic reduction. Consider a compact prequantizable Kähler manifold M with a Hamiltonian torus action. In the seminal paper [V. Guillemin, S. Sternberg, Geometric quantization and multiplicities of group representations, Invent. Math. 67 (3) (1982) 515-538], Guillemin and Sternberg introduced an isomorphism between the invariant part of the quantum space associated to M and the quantum space associated to the symplectic quotient of M, provided this quotient is non-singular. We prove that this isomorphism is a Fourier integral operator and that the Toeplitz operators of M descend to Toeplitz operators of the reduced phase space. We also extend these results to the case where the symplectic quotient is an orbifold and estimate the spectral density of a reduced Toeplitz operator, a result related to the Riemann-Roch-Kawasaki theorem.     

On the double commutation method

We provide a complete spectral characterization of the double commutation method for general Sturm-Liouville operators which inserts any finite number of prescribed eigenvalues into spectral gaps of a given background operator. Moreover, we explicitly determine the transformation operator which links the background operator to its doubly commuted version (resulting in extensions and considerably simplified proofs of spectral results even for the special case of Schrödinger-type operators).

     

Semiclassical spectral estimates for Schrödinger operators at a critical energy level. Case of a degenerate minimum of the potential

We study the semi-classical trace formula at a critical energy level for a Schrödinger operator on Rn. We assume here that the potential has a totally degenerate critical point associated to a local minimum. The main result, which computes the contribution of this equilibrium, is valid for all time in a compact and establishes the existence of a total asymptotic expansion whose top order coefficient depends only on the germ of the potential at the critical point.     

On the resolvent of singular Sturm-Liouville operators with transmission conditions

In this article, we investigate the resolvent operator of singular Sturm-Liouville problem with transmission conditions. We obtain integral representations for the resolvent of this operator in terms of the spectral function. Later, we discuss some properties of the resolvent operator, such as Hilbert-Schmidt kernel property, compactness. Finally, we give a formula in terms of the spectral function for the Weyl-Titchmarsh function of this problem.     

The Green’s function of a five-point discretization of a two-dimensional finite-gap Schrödinger operator: The case of four singular points on the spectral curve

We consider a regular Riemann surface of finite genus and “generalized spectral data,” a special set of distinguished points on it. From them we construct a discrete analog of the Baker-Akhiezer function with a discrete operator that annihilates it. Under some extra conditions on the generalized spectral data, the operator takes the form of the discrete Cauchy-Riemann operator, and its restriction to the even lattice is annihilated by the corresponding Schrödinger operator. In this article we construct an explicit formula for the Green’s function of the indicated operator. The formula expresses the Green’s function in terms of the integral along a special contour of a differential constructed from the wave function and the extra spectral data. In result, the Green’s function with known asymptotics at infinity can be obtained at almost every point of the spectral curve.

Homogeneous operators and homogeneous integral operators

We introduce and study in a general setting the concept of homogeneity of an operator and, in particular, the notion of homogeneity of an integral operator. In the latter case, homogeneous kernels of such operators are also studied. The concept of homogeneity is associated with transformations of a measure—measure dilations, which are most natural in the context of our general research scheme. For the study of integral operators, the notions of weak and strong homogeneity of the kernel are introduced. The weak case is proved to generate a homogeneous operator in the sense of our definition, while the stronger condition corresponds to the most relevant specific examples—classes of homogeneous integral operators on various metric spaces—and allows us to obtain an explicit general form for the kernels of such operators. The examples given in the article—various specific cases—illustrate general statements and results given in the paper and at the same time are of interest in their own way.     

p-ω-亚正规算子的一些性质

In this paper,let T be a bounded linear operator on a complex Hilbert H.We give and prove that every p-w-hyponormal operator has Bishop's property(β)and spectral properties;Quasi-similar p-w-hyponormal operators have equal spectra and equal essential spectra.Finally,for p-w-hyponormal operators,we give a kind of proof of its normality by use of properties of partial isometry.     

On the Index of Differential Operators on Manifolds with Conical Singularities

The paper contains the proof of the index formula for manifolds with conical points. For operators subject to an additional condition of spectral symmetry, the index is expressed as the sum of multiplicities of spectral points of the conormal symbol (indicial family) and the integral from the Atiyah–Singer form over the smooth part of the manifold. The obtained formula is illustrated by the example of the Euler operator on a two-dimensional manifold with conical singular point.     

On new fractional integral inequalities using Marichev–Saigo–Maeda operator

Generalizations of fractional integral inequalities were introduced by many authors. The aim of our investigation is to establish some new fractional integral inequalities using Marichev–Saigo–Maeda (MSM) fractional integral operator for convex function. Further, we obtain some more fractional integral inequalities of Grüss type using MSM operator.     

Relative oscillation theory for Dirac operators

We develop relative oscillation theory for one-dimensional Dirac operators which, rather than measuring the spectrum of one single operator, measures the difference between the spectra of two different operators. This is done by replacing zeros of solutions of one operator by weighted zeros of Wronskians of solutions of two different operators. In particular, we show that a Sturm-type comparison theorem still holds in this situation and demonstrate how this can be used to investigate the number of eigenvalues in essential spectral gaps. Furthermore, the connection with Krein's spectral shift function is established. As an application we extend a result by K.M. Schmidt on the finiteness/infiniteness of the number of eigenvalues in essential spectral gaps of perturbed periodic Dirac operators.     

On the eigenfunction expansion of the Laplace–Beltrami operator in hyperbolic space

We describe the spectral projection of the Laplace–Beltrami operator in n-dimensional hyperbolic space by studying its resolvent as an analytic operator-valued function and applying the technique of contour integration. As a result an integral formula is established for the associated Legendre function
