Gap between consecutive Dirichlet eigenvalues

Suppose $\Omega \subset \mathbb R^2$ is a domain with a Lipschitz boundary and let $\{\lambda_k\}_{k=0}^n$ be the eigenvalues for the Laplacian operator on $\Omega$, that is to say $$ -\Delta \phi_k = ...

Heat equation damps backward heat equation?

In a previous question on mathoverflow, I was wondering about the following: Let $\Delta$ be the Laplacian on some compact interval $I$ of the real line with let's say Dirichlet boundary conditions. ...

Perturbation theory compact operator

Let $K$ be a compact self-adjoint operator on a Hilbert space $H$ such that for some normalized $x \in H$ and $\lambda \in \mathbb C:$ $\Vert Kx-\lambda x \Vert \le \varepsilon.$ It is well-known ...

Generalized Fourier transforms associated to Schroedinger operators

Let $n\geq 1$. Let $q\in C^{\infty}_0(\mathbb R^n)$ be compactly supported and consider the operator $P= -\Delta+q(x)$ on $\mathbb R^n$. We will assume that $q$ is sufficiently small so that the ...

On Dirichlet eigenfunctions of a domain

Given any bounded domain $\Omega\subset \mathbb R^n$, $n\geq 2$, with a Lipschitz boundary, let $\{(\lambda_k,\phi_k)\}_{k\in \mathbb N}$ be the Dirichlet eigenvalues and eigenfunctions of $-\Delta$ ...

Proving an eigenvalue bound without resorting to Weyl's law

Suppose $(M,g)$ is a smooth compact Riemannian manifold of dimension $n\geq 2$ with smooth boundary and denote by $\{\phi_k,\lambda_k\}_{k\in \mathbb N}$ its Dirihclet spectral decomposition for the ...

Weyl's law and eigenfunction bounds for weighted Laplace-Beltrami operator

I would appreciate any answers or even references for the following problem. Let $(M,g)$ be a complete smooth Riemannian manifold with an asymptotically Euclidean metric (let's even say that the ...

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 ...

Generalization of supersymmetry to dimension 3

in two dimensions there is a simple trick to study the spectrum of operators of the form $$\textbf{A}:=\left( \begin{matrix}0 && A^* \\ A && 0 \end{matrix}\right)$$ The trick is to ...

Self-adjointness on Banach spaces

Let $A \in L(X,Y)$ be a bounded operator between Banach spaces. Then its dual operator $A' \in L(Y',X')$ has the same spectrum as $A$ by the closed range theorem. Now, if we have an unbounded ...

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 ...

Eigenvalues of elliptic operator analytic with respect to a parameter

I am interested when one can say the eigenvalues of an elliptic operator are real analytic with respect to a parameter. In particular I have seen many people say the first eigenvalue is analytic but ...

Existence of an eigenpair for d-bar operator in the unit disck

Let $\overline{\partial}=\frac{1}{2}(\partial_{x}+\textrm{i} \,\partial_y)$ and let $D$ be the unit disc in the complex plane. For each $\lambda \in \mathbb C$, consider the problem: $$ \overline{\...
