The spectrum of the Laplacian on manifolds with cylindrical ends consists of continuous spectrum of locally finite multiplicity and embedded eigenvalues. We prove a Weyl-type asymptotic formula for the sum of the number of embedded eigenvalues and the scattering phase. In particular, we obtain the optimal upper bound on the number of embedded eigenvalues less than or equal to , where is the dimension of the manifold.
We develop a spectral-theoretic harmonic analysis for an arbitrary UMD space X. Our approach utilizes the spectral decomposability of X and the multiplier theory for to provide on the space X itself analogues of the classical themes embodied in the Littlewood-Paley Theorem, the Strong Marcinkiewicz Multiplier Theorem, and the M. Riesz Property. In particular, it is shown by spectral integration that classical Marcinkiewicz multipliers have associated transforms acting on X.
Let U be a trigonometrically well-bounded operator on a Banach space , and denote by the sequence of (C,2) weighted discrete ergodic averages of U, that is, . We show that this sequence of weighted ergodic averages converges in the strong operator topology to an idempotent operator whose range is x ∈ : Ux = x, and whose null space is the closure of (I - U). This result expands the scope of the traditional Ergodic Theorem, and thereby serves as a link between Banach space spectral theory and...
This paper gives a survey of some recent developments in the spectral theory of linear operators on Banach spaces in which the Hilbert transform and its abstract analogues play a fundamental role.
Given an orthogonal projection P and a free unitary Brownian motion in a W*-non commutative probability space such that Y and P are *-free in Voiculescu’s sense, we study the spectral distribution νₜ of Jₜ = PYₜPYₜ*P in the compressed space. To this end, we focus on the spectral distribution μₜ of the unitary operator SYₜSYₜ*, S = 2P - 1, whose moments are related to those of Jₜ via a binomial-type expansion already obtained by Demni et al. [Indiana Univ. Math. J. 61 (2012)]. In this connection,...
We define spectral factorization in Lp (or a generalized Wiener-Hopf factorization) of a measurable singular matrix function on a simple closed rectifiable contour Γ. Such factorization has the same uniqueness properties as in the nonsingular case. We discuss basic properties of the vector valued Riemann problem whose coefficient takes singular values almost everywhere on Γ. In particular, we introduce defect numbers for this problem which agree with the usual defect numbers in the case of a nonsingular...
We prove a uniform lower bound for the difference λ₂ - λ₁ between the first two eigenvalues of the fractional Schrödinger operator , α ∈ (1,2), with a symmetric single-well potential V in a bounded interval (a,b), which is related to the Feynman-Kac semigroup of the symmetric α-stable process killed upon leaving (a,b). “Uniform” means that the positive constant appearing in our estimate is independent of the potential V. In the general case of α ∈ (0,2), we also find a uniform lower bound for...
