Why and how is a representation "continuously decomposable"?
What I am asking may apply to a much more general setting and I am interested in the underlying level of generality of these statements, mostly with canonical references. However I state the question ...

Using Property (T) to approximate invertible matrices
In the wikipedia article for Kazhdan's Property (T), there's an intriguing application:
Similarly, groups with property (T) can be used to construct finite sets of invertible matrices which can ...

Spectral properties of Non-local Differential operators on real line
I am encountering non-local (and nonlinear) PDEs in my work. To compute stability, I am trying to numerically estimate the spectrum of linearized-but-nonlocal version of the said PDEs.
Definition: A ...

Spectral mapping theorem
Rudin's book contains in chapter 10 a spectral mapping theorem for (self-adjoint) unbounded operators that respects the point-spectrum, in the sense that he shows $f(\sigma_p(T))=\sigma_p(f(T))$ for ...

Reference request: trace norm estimate
In a paper I am currently reading, the author uses that if $T$ is an operator given by the kernel $$T(x,y) = \int_{\mathbb R} p(x,z) q(z,y) dz,$$
then $$\lvert \operatorname{tr} T \rvert \leq \lVert T ...

Asymptotic stability of eigenvalues by compact perturbations
I need some references concerning the asymptotic stability of eigenvalues by compact perturbations. In [T. Kato, Perturbation theory for linear operators] there are some results concerning stability ...

Are Weyl sequences polynomially bounded?
Look at the Hilbert space $l^2( \mathbb{Z}) $ and let $A$ be a translation invariant band operator. I.e. if $\{ e_n \}_{n \in \mathbb Z} $ is the standard basis for $l^2( \mathbb{Z}) $ then it holds ...

Reference on spectral theory of self-adjoint operators
I am reading this paper on comparing different moments of independent random variables. A initial step in their approach is designing an operator $L$ over smooth functions (and extended to an self ...

On the boundary integral of Neumann eigenfunctions
Let $v$ be an eigenfunction corresponding to the first nonzero Neumann Laplacian eigenvalue on a domain $\Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^2$. By definition, we know that $\int_{\Omega} v \, dx=0$. If $\Omega$...

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 (...

The definition of essential spectrum for general closed operators
I've asked this problem in MSE several days ago, see here. But there is no reply up until now. Maybe I wrote things too complicated there and so I'll write a very clean problem here. For background ...

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 ...
