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 ...

On a compact operator in the plane
Let $\Omega \subset \mathbb R^2$ be a bounded domain with a smooth boundary. Let $$\bar{\partial}= \frac{1}{2} ( \partial_{x^1} + i \,\partial_{x^2}),$$
and let $G: L^2(\Omega)\to H^2(\Omega)$ be the ...

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 ...

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 ...

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(...

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 ...

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 ...

Singular value decomposition in two spaces (reference in Russian paper?)
Let $H$ be a Hilbert space and $X$ be a Banach space such that $H \cap X$ is dense in both.
Now, let $T$ be an operator such that $T: H \rightarrow H$ and $T:X \rightarrow X$ exists in the sense that ...

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 $...
