The spectra of invertible weighted composition operators $u{C}_{\phi }$ on the Bloch and Dirichlet spaces are studied. In the Bloch case we obtain a complete description of the spectrum when φ is a parabolic or elliptic automorphism of the unit disc. In the case of a hyperbolic automorphism φ, exact expressions for the spectral radii of invertible weighted composition operators acting on the Bloch and Dirichlet spaces are derived.

We establish several inequalities for the spectral radius of a positive commutator of positive operators in a Banach space ordered by a normal and generating cone. The main purpose of this paper is to show that in order to prove the quasi-nilpotency of the commutator we do not have to impose any compactness condition on the operators under consideration. In this way we give a partial answer to the open problem posed in the paper by J. Bračič, R. Drnovšek, Y. B. Farforovskaya, E. L. Rabkin, J. Zemánek...

We prove that for the spectral radius of a weighted composition operator $a{T}_{\alpha }$, acting in the space $L^p(X,,\mu )$, the following variational principle holds: $lnr\left(a{T}_{\alpha }\right)=ma{x}_{\nu \in M{¹}_{\alpha ,e}}{\int }_{X}ln\left|a\right|d\nu$, where X is a Hausdorff compact space, α: X → X is a continuous mapping preserving a Borel measure μ with suppμ = X, $M{¹}_{\alpha ,e}$ is the set of all α-invariant ergodic probability measures on X, and a: X → ℝ is a continuous and ${}_{\infty }$-measurable function, where ${}_{\infty }={\bigcap }_{n=0}^{\infty }{\alpha }^{-n}\left(\right)$. This considerably extends the range of validity of the above formula, which was previously known in the case...

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 $\Lambda$. Consider now $I_{\Lambda }$, a small energy interval centered at $E$ that asymptotically contains infintely many eigenvalues when the volume of the cube $\Lambda$ grows to infinity. We prove that, with probability one in the large volume...

Let G be a locally compact abelian group and ℳ be a semifinite von Neumann algebra with a faithful semifinite normal trace τ. We study Hilbert transforms associated with G-flows on ℳ and closed semigroups Σ of Ĝ satisfying the condition Σ ∪ (-Σ) = Ĝ. We prove that Hilbert transforms on such closed semigroups satisfy a weak-type estimate and can be extended as linear maps from L¹(ℳ,τ) into $L^{1,\infty }(ℳ,\tau )$. As an application, we obtain a Matsaev-type result for p = 1: if x is a quasi-nilpotent compact operator...

On reflexive spaces trigonometrically well-bounded operators have an operator-ergodic-theory characterization as the invertible operators U such that $su{p}_{n\in \mathbb{N},z\in }\left|\right|{\sum }_{0<\left|k\right|\le n}(1-|k|/(n+1))k^{-1}{z}^k{U}^k\left|\right|<\infty$. (*) Trigonometrically well-bounded operators permeate many settings of modern analysis, and this note highlights the advances in both their spectral theory and operator ergodic theory made possible by a recent rekindling of interest in the R. C. James inequalities for super-reflexive spaces. When the James inequalities are combined with Young-Stieltjes...

This paper initially considers a class of unbounded Jacobi matrices defined by an increasing sequence of repeated weights. Spectral parameters are then introduced in various ways to allow the authors to study the nature and location of the spectrum as a function of these parameters.

On construit les fonctions propres sur $\mathbf{R}$ et les valeurs caractéristiques ${\lambda }_n$ du noyau de Hilbert-Schmidt $(x^2+y^2+1{)}^{-1}$. Le spectre est donné par la solution d’une équation transcendante dont le comportement asymptotique est ${\lambda }_n\simeq \frac{1}{2}exp(\pi \sqrt{n})$.
