Schwartz kernel of spectral projection of Laplacian and integrated density of states

I'm reposting here a question I asked on MSE which did not receive an answer. I am considering the Dirichlet Laplacian $\Delta$ on some smooth domain $U$. For now assume that $U$ is bounded, and later ...

Finiteness of Schatten $p$-norm of truncated free resolvent

Consider the resolvent operator $ R(z) := (-\Delta - z)^{-1}$ of the Laplace operator on $L^2(\mathbb R^d)$, where $z\in \rho(-\Delta) = \mathbb C \setminus \mathopen [0, \infty)$. For $p \geq 1$, let ...

Strongly continuous semigroups on weighted $\ell^1$ space

Let $x=(x_i)$ be a sequence in $\ell^1$ such that all $x_i>0.$ Let $T(t):\ell^1 \rightarrow \ell^1$ be a strongly continuous semigroup of, i.e. $t \mapsto T(t)y$ is continuous for every $y \in \ell^...

Absence of fixed points

Let $f$ be an arbitrary function in $L^2(0,\infty)$ and consider the function $$(g_f)(y) = \frac{1}{y-x_0} \int_{0}^{\infty} f(x) \frac{xy}{(x^2+y^2+1)} \ dx$$ where $x_0$ is an arbitrary but fixed ...

Lower bound of the spectrum of a Schrodinger operator on a bounded domain

I am trying to look for references on estimate of the lower bound of the spectrum of a Schrodinger operator $-\Delta + V$ on a bounded domain in three-dimensional space. For simplicity, we can take ...

Perturbation of Elliptic operator

Let $\Omega$ be an open region or a non-compact complete manifold, $L$ be an elliptic operator with possibly non vanishing zero-order term, e.g. $-\Delta+q$. Suppose $W$ is an operator such that $W(...

Laplacian dissipative?

is it true that the Laplacian $\Delta:=\frac{d^2}{dx^2}$ on $(0,1)$ with Neumann boundary conditions is dissipative on $C[0,1]?$ For this we have to show that there is for any $x \in D(\Delta)$a $x' \...

Dissipative operator on Banach spaces

An operator $A$ is called dissipative if for all $x \in D(A)$ and $\lambda >0$ $$ \left\lVert (A-\lambda)x \right\rVert \ge \lambda \left\lVert x \right\rVert.$$ On a Hilbert space this is ...

Which sets support which spectra?

I know (and this is of course rather elementary) that an isolated point in the spectrum of a self-adjoint operator $T$ always belongs to the point-spectrum. I would like to ask: Are there similar ...

Rellich's theorem from compact resolvent

On a compact Riemannian manifold, we know that the Laplacian $\Delta$ has compact resolvent. In proving this, one typical way is to use Rellich's theorem about the compact embedding of $H^1(M)$ into $...
