Spectral analysis in a thin domain with periodically oscillating characteristics

Rita Ferreira, Luísa M. Mascarenhas, Andrey Piatnitski (2012)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

The paper deals with a Dirichlet spectral problem for an elliptic operator with ε-periodic coefficients in a 3D bounded domain of small thickness δ. We study the asymptotic behavior of the spectrum as ε and δ tend to zero. This asymptotic behavior depends crucially on whether ε and δ are of the same order (δ ≈ ε), or ε is much less than δ(δ = ετ, τ < 1), or ε is much greater than δ(δ = ετ, τ > 1). We consider all three cases.

Spectral analysis of unbounded Jacobi operators with oscillating entries

Jan Janas, Marcin Moszyński (2012)

Studia Mathematica

We describe the spectra of Jacobi operators J with some irregular entries. We divide ℝ into three “spectral regions” for J and using the subordinacy method and asymptotic methods based on some particular discrete versions of Levinson’s theorem we prove the absolute continuity in the first region and the pure pointness in the second. In the third region no information is given by the above methods, and we call it the “uncertainty region”. As an illustration, we introduce and analyse the OP family...

Spectral projection, residue of the scattering amplitude and Schrödinger group expansion for barrier-top resonances

Jean-François Bony, Setsuro Fujiié, Thierry Ramond, Maher Zerzeri (2011)

Annales de l’institut Fourier

We study the spectral projection associated to a barrier-top resonance for the semiclassical Schrödinger operator. First, we prove a resolvent estimate for complex energies close to such a resonance. Using that estimate and an explicit representation of the resonant states, we show that the spectral projection has a semiclassical expansion in integer powers of h , and compute its leading term. We use this result to compute the residue of the scattering amplitude at such a resonance. Eventually, we...

Spectral shift and multiplicity of the first eigenvalue of the magnetic Schrödinger operator in two dimensions

László Erdős (2002)

Annales de l’institut Fourier

We show that the lowest eigenvalue of the magnetic Schrödinger operator on a line bundle over a compact Riemann surface M is bounded by the L 1 -norm of the magnetic field B . This implies a similar bound on the multiplicity of the ground state. An example shows that this degeneracy can indeed be comparable with M | B | even in case of the trivial bundle.

Spectral statistics for random Schrödinger operators in the localized regime

François Germinet, Frédéric Klopp (2014)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

We study various statistics related to the eigenvalues and eigenfunctions of random Hamiltonians in the localized regime. Consider a random Hamiltonian at an energy E in the localized phase. Assume the density of states function is not too flat near E . Restrict it to some large cube Λ . Consider now I Λ , a small energy interval centered at E that asymptotically contains infintely many eigenvalues when the volume of the cube Λ grows to infinity. We prove that, with probability one in the large volume...

Spectral theory of corrugated surfaces

Vojkan Jakšić (2001)

Journées équations aux dérivées partielles

We discuss spectral and scattering theory of the discrete laplacian limited to a half-space. The interesting properties of such operators stem from the imposed boundary condition and are related to certain phenomena in surface physics.

Spectral theory of damped quantum chaotic systems

Stéphane Nonnenmacher (2011)

Journées Équations aux dérivées partielles

We investigate the spectral distribution of the damped wave equation on a compact Riemannian manifold, especially in the case of a metric of negative curvature, for which the geodesic flow is Anosov. The main application is to obtain conditions (in terms of the geodesic flow on X and the damping function) for which the energy of the waves decays exponentially fast, at least for smooth enough initial data. We review various estimates for the high frequency spectrum in terms of dynamically defined...

Spectral theory of invariant operators, sharp inequalities, and representation theory

Branson, Thomas (1997)

Proceedings of the 16th Winter School "Geometry and Physics"

The paper represents the lectures given by the author at the 16th Winter School on Geometry and Physics, Srni, Czech Republic, January 13-20, 1996. He develops in an elegant manner the theory of conformal covariants and the theory of functional determinant which is canonically associated to an elliptic operator on a compact pseudo-Riemannian manifold. The presentation is excellently realized with a lot of details, examples and open problems.
