Singular continuous spectrum under rank one perturbations and localization for random hamiltonians

We consider a selfadjoint operator, A, and a selfadjoint rank-one projection, P, onto a vector, φ, which is cyclic for A. In terms of the spectral measure dμ^A_φ, we give necessary and sufficient conditions for A + λ P to have empty singular continuous spectrum or to have only point spectrum for a.e. λ. We apply these results to questions of localization in the one- and multi-dimensional Anderson models.     

On the non-round points of the boundary of the numerical range ∗

Let A be a bounded linear operator acting on a Hilbert space. It is well known (Donoghue, 1957) that comer points of the numerical range W(A) are eigenvalues of A. Recently (1995), this result was generalized by Hiibner who showed that points of infinite curvature on the boundary of W(A) lie in the spectrum of A. Hübner also conjectured that all such points are either corner points or lie in the essential spectrum of A. In this paper, we give a short proof of this conjecture.

POLYNOMIALS RELATED TO HALL NUMBERS

Let Λ be a finite dimensional algebra of finite representation type over a finite field k. For any modules A, B and Pin mod Λ with P projective, we prove that there exists a polynomial ? ^B _(P)Λ over Z whose evaluation at |E| for any conservative finite field extension E of Λ is the sum of Hall numbers F ^{B E} _{C ^E A ^E} where C ^E runs through isoclasses in mod Λ ^E and P ^E is the projective cover of C ^E . As a consequence of this result and its dual version, Hall polynomials ? ^E _CA exist when C or A is semisimple. As applications of the main result, we obtain the existence of Hall polynomials for Nakayama algebras and some selfinjective algebras.

     

Polynomials in a matrix

Let A be a matrixp(x) a polynomial. Put B=p(A). It is shown that necessary and sufficient conditions for A to be a polynomial in B are (i) if λ is any eigenvalue of A, and if some elementary divisor of A corresponding to λ is nonlinear, thenp ^′(λ)≠0;and (ii) if λ,μ are distinct eigenvalues of A, then p(λ)p(μ) are also distinct. Here all computations are over some algebraically closed field.     

Nonlinear eigenvalue problems with positively convex operators

We consider the equation u = λAu (λ > 0), where A is a forced isotone positively convex operator in a partially ordered normed space with a complete positive cone K. Let Λ be the set of positive λ for which the equation has a solution u?K, and let Λ₀ be the set of positive λ for which a positive solution—necessarily the minimum one—can be obtained by an iteration u_n = λAu_n?1, u₀ = 0. We show that if K is normal, and if Λ is nonempty, then Λ₀ is nonempty, and each set Λ₀, Λ is an interval with $\text{inf}\text{(Λ}{}_0\text{) =}\text{inf}\text{(Λ) = 0}\text{and sup}\text{(Λ}{}_0\text{) =}\text{sup}\text{(Λ) (= λ1,}\text{say}\text{)}$; but we may have λ1 ? Λ₀ and λ1 ? Λ. Furthermore, if A is bounded on the intersection of K with a neighborhood of 0, then Λ₀ is nonempty. Let u⁰(λ) = lim_n→∞(λA)ⁿ(0) be the minimum positive fixed point corresponding to λ ? Λ₀. Then u⁰(λ) is a continuous isotone convex function of λ on Λ₀.     

On Quantales and Spectra of C*-Algebras

We study properties of the quantale spectrum MaxA of an arbitrary unital C^*-algebra A. In particular we show that the spatialization of MaxA with respect to one of the notions of spatiality in the literature yields the locale of closed ideals of A when A is commutative. We study under general conditions functors with this property, in addition requiring that colimits be preserved, and we conclude in this case that the spectrum of A necessarily coincides with the locale of closed ideals of the commutative reflection of A. Finally, we address functorial properties of Max, namely studying (non-)preservation of limits and colimits. Although Max is not an equivalence of categories, therefore not providing a direct generalization of Gelfand duality to the noncommutative case, it is a faithful complete invariant of unital C^*-algebras.     

Bounds on the real stability radius for affinely perturbed differential‐algebraic systems

Analysis of robust stability for a family (E( Δ ), A( Δ )) of linear differential‐algebraic equations (DAEs) depending on perturbations Δ ∈ Δ of some parameters is more difficult than for the classical ODE‐case where E(·) can be identified with I_n ∈ ℝ^n×n. We start with an electric circuit example for motivation. Then, after defining the class of parameterized DAEs we are dealing with we consider two kinds of stability radii: One concerns preservation of the structure for the perturbed system (including the algebraic index and dimension of the subspace belonging to the finite spectrum of (E(·), A(·))). The second cares for stability of the finite spectrum as known from the classical case. Both can be treated independently and their combination yields the stability radius of the family. From this, it is possible to derive characterizations of both stability radii which are based on the structured singular value (SSV). However, the upper bounds may be very conservative in the real perturbation case – thus we introduce a variational principle which also characterizes the stability radius and allows for the computation of better upper bounds in the real perturbation case. In combination with the SSV‐based method this yields quite small intervals for the stability radius to lie in. Finally, some numerical results for the electric circuit example are presented.     

|T |+‐resplendent models and the Lascar group

In this paper we show that in every |T |⁺‐resplendent model N , for every A ? N such that |A | ≤ |T |, the group Autf(N/A ) of strong automorphisms is the least very normal subgroup of the group Aut(N/A ) and the quotient Aut(N/A )/Autf(N/A ) is the Lascar group over A . Then we generalize this result to every |T |⁺‐saturated and strongly |T |⁺‐homogeneous model. (© 2005 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)     

An essential spectra mapping theorem

Let T be a closed operator on a Hilbert Space H, such that α?p(T), the resolvent of T. Set A = (T ? αI)^?1. For μ ≠ 0, define λ such that (λ ? α)μ = 1. It is shown that λ ? essential spectra of T iff μ ? essential spectra of A for various definitions of the essential spectra. A number of immediate corollaries are then derived.     

Spin depolarization decay rates in α-symmetric stable fields on cubic lattices

We study the asymptotic, long-time behavior of the energy function where {X_s : 0 ≤ s < ∞} is the standard random walk on the d-dimensional lattice Z^d, 1 < α ≤ 2, and f:R⁺ → R⁺ is any nondecreasing concave function. In the special case f(x) = x, our setting represents a lattice model for the study of transverse magnetization of spins diffusing in a homogeneous, α-stable, i.i.d., random, longitudinal field {λV(x) : x ∈ Z^d} with common marginal distribution, the standard α-symmetric stable distribution; the parameter λ describes the intensity of the field. Using large-deviation techniques, we show that S_c(λ α f) = lim_t→∞ E(t; λ f) exists. Moreover, we obtain a variational formula for this decay rate S_c. Finally, we analyze the behavior S_c(λ α f) as λ → 0 when f(x) = x^β for all 1 ≥ β > 0. Consequently, several physical conjectures with respect to lattice models of transverse magnetization are resolved by setting β = 1 in our results. We show that S_c(λ, α, 1) ≈ λ^α for d ≥ 3, λ^agr;(ln 1/λ)^α−1 in d = 2, and in d = 1. © 1996 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.     

Approximation of isolated eigenvalues of general singular ordinary differential operators

Let A be a self-adjoint operator defined by a general singular ordinary differential expression τ on an interval (a, b), ? ∞ ≤ a < b ≤ ∞. We show that isolated eigenvalues in any gap of the essential spectrum of A are exactly the limits of eigenvalues of suitably chosen self-adjoint realizations A_n of τ on subintervals (a_n, b_n) of (a, b) with a_n → a, b_n → b. This means that eigenvalues of singular ordinary differential operators can be approximated by eigenvalues of regular operators. In the course of the proof we extend a result, which is well known for quasiregular differential expressions, to the general case: If the spectrum of A is not the whole real line, then the boundary conditions needed to define A can be given using solutions of (τ ? λ)u = 0, where λ is contained in the regularity domain of the minimal operator corresponding to τ.     

Universal homogeneous derivations of graded ϵ-commutative algebras

Let K be a commutative ring, let ? be an abelian group, and let ?:?x?→K be a commutation factor over ?.A ? graded K-algebra is said to be ?-commutative if its ?-bracket is identically zero, (K,?) derivations from a given ?-commutative ?-graded K-algebra A into bimodules are studied. It is proved that for each λ?? there exists a universal initial (k,?)-derivation of degree λ of A. For each λ?? a natural module of (K, ?, λ)-differentials of A along with a differential map is constructed. It is proved that each derivation of A canonically equipps this module with a structure of differential module. Applications and examples are given. It is shown that the first order exterior differentials which are known from the theory of smooth graded manifolds are universal initial homogeneous derivations of the sort considered hereby.     

New results for guided waves in heterogeneous elastic media

We prove the existence of guided waves propagating with a velocity strictly larger than the S (shear) wave velocity at infinity in the case of unbounded elastic media invariant under translation in one space direction and asymptotically homogeneous at infinity. These waves correspond to the existence of eigenvalues embedded in the essential spectrum of the self-adjoint elastic propagator.     

Titchmarsh–Weyl m ‐functions for second‐order Sturm–Liouville problems with two singular endpoints

In this paper we consider some cases of Sturm–Liouville problems with two singular endpoints at x = 0 and x = ∞ which have a simple spectrum, and show that the simplicity of the spectrum can be built into the definition of a Titchmarsh–Weyl m ‐function from which the eigenfunction expansion can be constructed. The use of initial conditions at a point interior to the interval (0,∞) is avoided in favor of Frobenius solutions near the regular singular point x = 0. In contrast to the classical theory associated with a regular left endpoint, the growth behaviour of the associated spectral functions can be on the order of λ^β for any β ∈ (0,∞). Application of the theory to the Bessel equation on (0,∞) and to the radial part of the separated hydrogen atom on (0,∞) is given. In the case of the hydrogen atom a single Titchmarsh–Weyl m ‐function is obtained which completely describes both the discrete negative spectrum and the continuous positive spectrum.

Uniform Asymptoti Integration of a Family of Linear Differential Systems

Consider a family of linear differential systems y′ =A(x, z)y depending on a parameter z Assume, as in Levinson's Theorem, that A = Λ + R with Λ diagonal and R integrable. We discuss the problem of asymptotically solving this systemwith uniform (in z) control on the error terms.Questions of this type occur in the spectral theory of differential operators.     

Block designs with large holes and α -resolvable BIBDs

In a (v, k, λ: w) incomplete block design (IBD) (or PBD [v, {k, w^*}. λ]), the relation v ≥ (k ? 1)w + 1 must hold. In the case of equality, the IBD is referred to as a block design with a large hole, and the existence of such a configuration is equivalent to the existence of a λ-resolvable BIBD(v ? w, k ? 1, λ). The existence of such configurations is investigated for the case of k = 5. Necessary and sufficient conditions are given for all v and λ ? 2 (mod 4), and for λ ≡ 2 mod 4 with 11 possible exceptions for v. © 1993 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.     

Ricci η‐recurrent real hypersurfaces in 2‐dimensional nonflat complex space forms

Let M be a Hopf hypersurface in a nonflat complex space form $M^2(c)$, $c\ne 0$, of complex dimension two. In this paper, we prove that M has η‐recurrent Ricci operator if and only if it is locally congruent to a homogeneous real hypersurface of type (A) or (B) or a non‐homogeneous real hypersurface with vanishing Hopf principal curvature. This is an extension of main results in [17, 21] for real hypersurfaces of dimension three. By means of this result, we give some new characterizations of Hopf hypersurfaces of type (A) and (B) which generalize those in [14, 18, 26].
