Eigenvalues of a Schrödinger operator
I'm interested in the existence of eigenfunctions and finding eigenvalues of the following operator
$$L(\varphi) = \varphi_{rr} - \frac{1}{r} \varphi_r - [V + \frac{m}{r^2}] \varphi$$
$$\varphi(0) = \...

Spectrum of matrix involving quantum harmonic oscillator
The quantum harmonic oscillator relies on two classical objects, the so-called creation and annihilation operator
$$a ^* = x- \partial_x \text{ and }a = x+\partial_x.$$
Fix two numbers $\alpha,\beta \...

Computing spectra without solving eigenvalue problems
There is a rather remarkable conjecture formulated in this paper, "Computing spectra without solving eigenvalue problems," https://arxiv.org/pdf/1711.04888.pdf and in this talk by Svitlana Mayboroda ...

Eigenvalue estimates for operator perturbations
I edited the question to a general mathematical question, since I found the answer in Carlo Beenakker's reference and think that my initial question was mathematically misleading.
What was behind ...

Off-diagonal estimates for Poisson kernels on manifolds
Let $(M,g)$ be a complete Riemannian manifold, $\Delta$ its Laplace-Beltrami operator and $T_t = (e^{t \Delta})_{t \geq 0}$ the associated heat semigroup. We can define the subordinated Poisson ...

Weyl quantization and convexity
Let $C$ be a convex subset of $\mathbb R^{2n}$ and $\mathbf 1_C$ be the characteristic function of $C$. Is it true that
$$\forall u\in\mathscr S(\mathbb R^n),\quad
\langle\mathbf 1_C^{Weyl}u,u\rangle\...

Sobolev norms of eigenfunctions
Let D be a domain in R^n, and let f be an eigenfunction of the Laplacian with Dirichlet boundary condition with eigenvalue $\lambda$. Assume that f has L^2 norm 1. I want to know if I can say anything ...

Comparison Principle for Courant Nodal Domain Theorem
Recall that Courant's Nodal domain gives an upper bound on the number of nodal domains of the $k$-th eigenfunction. I was wondering if it is possible to deduce some relation between the number of ...
