An analytic characterization of the eigenvalues of self-adjoint extensions

Let be a self-adjoint extension in of a fixed symmetric operator A in . An analytic characterization of the eigenvalues of is given in terms of the Q-function and the parameter function in the Krein-Naimark formula. Here K and are Krein spaces and it is assumed that locally has the same spectral properties as a self-adjoint operator in a Pontryagin space. The general results are applied to a class of boundary value problems with λ-dependent boundary conditions.

Quantum Uncertainty and the Spectra of Symmetric Operators

In certain circumstances, the uncertainty, ΔS[φ], of a quantum observable, S, can be bounded from below by a finite overall constant ΔS>0, i.e., ΔS[φ]≥ΔS, for all physical states φ. For example, a finite lower bound to the resolution of distances has been used to model a natural ultraviolet cutoff at the Planck or string scale. In general, the minimum uncertainty of an observable can depend on the expectation value, t=〈φ,S φ〉, through a function ΔS _t of t, i.e., ΔS[φ]≥ΔS _t , for all physical states φ with 〈φ,S φ〉=t. An observable whose uncertainty is finitely bounded from below is necessarily described by an operator that is merely symmetric rather than self-adjoint on the physical domain. Nevertheless, on larger domains, the operator possesses a family of self-adjoint extensions. Here, we prove results on the relationship between the spacing of the eigenvalues of these self-adjoint extensions and the function ΔS _t . We also discuss potential applications in quantum and classical information theory.      

On the unitary globalization of cohomologically induced modules

We describe the unitary globalization of cohomologically induced modules _Aq(λ)$A_{\mathfrak{q}}(\lambda )$. The purpose of the paper is to give a geometric realization of the unitarizable modules. Our results do not constitute a proof of unitarity.     

Regularity of operators on essential extensions of the compacts

A semiregular operator on a Hilbert -module, or equivalently, on the -algebra of `compact' operators on it, is a closable densely defined operator whose adjoint is also densely defined. It is shown that for operators on extensions of compacts by unital or abelian -algebras, semiregularity leads to regularity. Two examples coming from quantum groups are discussed.

     

On the characteristic map of finite unitary groups

In his classic book on symmetric functions, Macdonald describes a remarkable result by Green relating the character theory of the finite general linear group to transition matrices between bases of symmetric functions. This connection allows one to analyze the character theory of the general linear group via symmetric group combinatorics. Using works of Ennola, Kawanaka, Lusztig and Srinivasan, this paper describes the analogous setting for the finite unitary group. In particular, we explain the connection between Deligne–Lusztig theory and Ennola's efforts to generalize Green's work, and from this we deduce various character theoretic results. Applications include calculating certain sums of character degrees, and giving a model of Deligne–Lusztig type for the finite unitary group, which parallels results of Klyachko and Inglis and Saxl for the finite general linear group.

On Eisenbud's and Wigner's R-matrix: A general approach

The main objective of this paper is to give a rigorous treatment of Wigner's and Eisenbud's R-matrix method for scattering matrices of scattering systems consisting of two selfadjoint extensions of the same symmetric operator with finite deficiency indices. In the framework of boundary triplets and associated Weyl functions an abstract generalization of the R-matrix method is developed and the results are applied to Schrödinger operators on the real axis.     

Criteria for eigenvalues embedded into the absolutely continuous spectrum of perturbed Stark type operators

In this paper, we consider the perturbed Stark operator

$Hu=H_{0}u+qu=?u^{″}?xu+qu,$

where q is the power-decaying perturbation. The criteria for q such that $H=H_0+q$ has at most one eigenvalue (finitely many, infinitely many eigenvalues) are obtained. All the results are quantitative and are generalized to the perturbed Stark type operator.

On the solution of a coupled thermo-mechanical problem for non-homogeneous Timoshenko-type shells

In this work a coupled thermo-mechanical problem of non-homogeneous shells with variable thickness and variable Young modulus (a so-called Timoshenko type model) is considered. The problem is reduced to uniformly correct problem in the form of a first order difference operator equation. In addition, a similar approach can easily be applied to the Kirchhoff-Love model.     

On a problem of Eidelheit from The Scottish Book concerning absolutely continuous functions

A negative solution of Problem 188 posed by Max Eidelheit in the Scottish Book concerning superpositions of separately absolutely continuous functions is presented. We discuss here this and some related problems which have also negative solutions. Finally, we give an explanation of such negative answers from the “embeddings of Banach spaces” point of view.     

On self-adjointness of the product of two second-order differential operators

In this paper, the problem of self-adjointness of the product of two differential operators is considered. A number of results concerning self-adjointness of the productL ₂ L ₁ of two second-order self-adjoint differential operators are obtained by using the general construction theory of self-adjoint extensions of ordinary differential operators.

An example of unitary equivalence between self-adjoint extensions and their parameters

The spectral problem for self-adjoint extensions is studied using the machinery of boundary triplets. For a class of symmetric operators having Weyl functions of a special type we calculate explicitly the spectral projections in the form of operator-valued integrals. This allows one to give a constructive proof of the fact that, in certain intervals, the resulting self-adjoint extensions are unitarily equivalent to the parameterizing boundary operator acting in a smaller space, and one is able to provide an explicit form for the associated unitary transform. Applications to differential operators on metric graphs and to direct sums are discussed.     

On the negative squares of indefinite Sturm-Liouville operators

The number of negative squares of all self-adjoint extensions of a simple symmetric operator of defect one with finitely many negative squares in a Krein space is characterized in terms of the behaviour of an abstract Titchmarsh-Weyl function near 0 and ∞. These results are applied to a large class of symmetric and self-adjoint indefinite Sturm-Liouville operators with indefinite weight functions.     

The spectrum of the Hilbert space valued second derivative with general self-adjoint boundary conditions

We consider a large class of self-adjoint elliptic problems associated with the second derivative acting on a space of vector-valued functions. We present and survey several results that can be obtained by means of two different approaches to the study of the associated eigenvalues problems. The first, more general one allows to replace a secular equation (which is well known in some special cases) by an abstract rank condition. The second one, though available in general, seems to apply particularly well to a specific boundary condition, the sometimes dubbed anti-Kirchhoff condition in the literature, that arises in the theory of differential operators on graphs; it also permits to discuss interesting and more direct connections between the spectrum of the differential operator and some graph theoretical quantities, in particular some results on the symmetry of the spectrum in either case.
