Eigenvalues and spectrum of the adjoint
In a finite-dimensional Hilbert space, the eigenvalues of the adjoint $A^*$ of an operator $A$ are the complex conjugates of the eigenvalues of $A$.
But in infinite dimensions this need no longer be ...

Extended adjoint of Volterra operator
Let $V$ be a Volterra operator on $L^2 [0,1]$.
Does there exist a nonzero operator $X $ satisfying the following system
$VX=XV^∗$, where $V^∗$ is the adjoint of the Volterra operator?
$$ V(f) (x) =\...

Does a spectral theorem exist for linear operator pencils?
I was wondering if a version of the spectral theorem (the projection valued measure case) holds for linear pencils of the form
$$
A-\lambda B
$$
where $A,B$ are self-adjoint on some Hilbert space $\...

Examples for Markov generators with pure point spectrum
I'm looking at symmetric diffusion Markov generators $L$ with pure point spectrum, i.e. infinitesimal generators of symmetric diffusion Markov semigroups, which are defined on $L^2(\mu)$ where $\mu$ ...

$L^2$ norm of a kernel with a variable width
Suppose you have a kernel operator on a torus, with a kernel of a spatially varying width $\epsilon(x)$, which might be zero at certain points. That is to say, for some approximate identity $\psi_h(x)$...

Spectrum of a $1$-parameter family of symmetric linear operators
I am working with certain submanifolds of symmetric spaces and, using a construction in Terng-Thorbergson, we ended up in the following Hilbert space problem:
Let $H$ be a (real) Hilbert Space and $...

reference request: conditions for pointwise and operator-norm convergence of kernel projections
At a very high level, I’m interested in the following question. Suppose $X$ is a (separable) Hilbert space, and $T_n : X \rightarrow X$ is a sequence of finite rank self-adjoint maps that converges (...

Self-adjoint operator with pure point spectrum
Suppose that A is a self-adjoint (possible unbounded) operator from a separable Hilbert space H to itself. I would like to know if the following statement is true:
A has pure point spectrum (i.e., the ...

Eigenvalue multiplicity of tensor product of positive operator with itself
Let $H$ be a separable complex Hilbert space and let $A\in B(H)$ be positive with $||A||=1$ and have eigenvalue 1 with multiplicity 1. Suppose $A=T^*T$ for some $T\in B(H)$. Denote the spectrum of $A$ ...

Isolated eigenvalues of "bipartite" operators
Please note: This is a reformulation of a previous question of mine. The old question has been already answered to, so I prefer asking a new one. However, it looked like the old formulation did not ...

Isolated points of the spectra of self-adjoint operators on Hilbert spaces
Let $T$ be a (everywhere defined) self-adjoint operator on a complex Hilbert space $\mathcal{H}$.
I am interested in results that give (non-trivial, possibly mild) sufficient conditions on $T$ to ...

Determine the singular values of a compact operator in terms of the eigenvalues of an alternating tensor product of operators
Let $H$ be a $\mathbb R$-Hilbert space, $A\in\mathfrak L(H)$ be compact and $$|A|:=\sqrt{A^\ast A}$$ denote the square-root of $A$. By definition, the $k$th largest singular value $\sigma_k(A)$ of $A$ ...
