The Kato spectrum of an operator is deployed to give necessary and sufficient conditions for Browder's theorem to hold.

     

A note on Rouche's theorem

The purpose of this note is to show a characterization of Rouche's result concerning the zeros of pairs of analytic functions, as well as its geometric interpretation.     

A note on the theorem of Leray-Schauder

Using elemental methods of Topology, theory of degree and theory of metric continua, we prove a new version of the theorem of Leray-Schauder. It provides the existence of arc-connected set of solutions. This result may have a lot of applications in a large variety of problems. Although the assumption of the theorem is not easy to verify in practice, this theorem could be an important tool to prove not only the existence of set of solutions but also the existence of a set of solution which is homeomorphic to the interval [0,1]⊂R.     

A note on Laplace's expansion theorem

A short proof of Laplace's expansion theorem is given. The proof is elementary and can be presented at any level of undergraduate studies where determinants are taught. It is derived directly from the definition so that the theorem may be used as a starting point for further investigation of determinants.     

A note on generalized Weyl's theorem

We prove that if either T or T^∗ has the single-valued extension property, then the spectral mapping theorem holds for B-Weyl spectrum. If, moreover T is isoloid, and generalized Weyl's theorem holds for T, then generalized Weyl's theorem holds for f(T) for every f∈H(σ(T)). An application is given for algebraically paranormal operators.     

A spectral Bernstein theorem

We study the spectrum of the Laplace operator of a complete minimal properly immersed hypersurface M in \({\mathbb{R}^{n+1}}\). (1) Under a volume growth condition on extrinsic balls and a condition on the unit normal at infinity, we prove that M has only essential spectrum consisting of the half line [0, +∞). This is the case when \({{\rm lim}_{\tilde{r}\to +\infty}\,\tilde{r}\kappa_i=0}\), where \({\tilde{r}}\) is the extrinsic distance to a point of M and κ _i are the principal curvatures. (2) If the κ _i satisfy the decay conditions \({|\kappa_i|\leq 1/\tilde{r}}\) and strict inequality is achieved at some point \({y\in M}\), then there are no eigenvalues. We apply these results to minimal graphic and multigraphic hypersurfaces.     

A spectral Paley-Wiener theorem

The Fourier inversion formula in polar form is \(f(x) = \int_0^\infty {P_\lambda } f(x)d\lambda \) for suitable functionsf on ? ⁿ , whereP _λ f(x) is given by convolution off with a multiple of the usual spherical function associated with the Euclidean motion group. In this form, Fourier inversion is essentially a statement of the spectral theorem for the Laplacian and the key question is: how are the properties off andP _λ f related? This paper provides a Paley-Wiener theorem within this avenue of thought generalizing a result due to Strichartz and provides a spectral reformulation of a Paley-Wiener theorem for the Fourier transform due to Helgason. As an application we prove support theorems for certain functions of the Laplacian.
