On the role of the normalization factors and of the pseudo-metric in crypto-Hermitian quantum models.
Two-sided estimates of Schatten-von Neumann norms for weighted Volterra integral operators are established. Analogous problems for some potential-type operators defined on Rn are solved.
This paper is devoted to the solvability of the Lyapunov equation A*U + UA = I, where A is a given nonselfadjoint differential operator of order 2m with nonlocal boundary conditions, A* is its adjoint, I is the identity operator and U is the selfadjoint operator to be found. We assume that the spectra of A* and -A are disjoint. Under this restriction we prove the existence and uniqueness of the solution of the Lyapunov equation in the class of bounded operators.
We consider the generalization Sphi of the Schatten classes Sp obtained in correspondence with opportune continuous, strictly increasing, sub-additive functions phi such that phi(0) = 0 and phi(1) = 1. The purpose of this note is to study the spaces Sphi of the phi-nuclear operators and to compare their properties to those of the by now well-known space S1 of nuclear operators.
We calculate the spectral multiplicity of the direct sum T⊕ A of a weighted shift operator T on a Banach space Y which is continuously embedded in and a suitable bounded linear operator A on a Banach space X.
We consider the Laplace operator in a planar waveguide, i.e. an infinite two-dimensional straight strip of constant width, with Robin boundary conditions. We study the essential spectrum of the corresponding Laplacian when the boundary coupling function has a limit at infinity. Furthermore, we derive sufficient conditions for the existence of discrete spectrum.
