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 ...

Reference request for spectral theory of elliptic operators [closed]
I want to learn the spectral theory of linear elliptic operators in bounded and unbounded domains in $R^n$, in particular for Laplacian and Schrodinger operators. Please suggest me some reference.
I ...

Sum of positive self-adjoint operator and an imaginary "potential": literature request
To keep things simple, let us consider the following: $L$ is a positive, unbounded S.A. operator on $L_2(\mathbb{R},f(x))$, where $f(x)$ is a Gaussian. Assume that we know the spectrum and ...

Essential spectrum of multiplication operator
Let $a\in \mathcal{L}(L^2([0, 1], \mathbb{R}))$ be a multiplication operator. I wonder whether there is any work on calculating its essential spectrum. Is there any way to explicitly compute its ...

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 ...

Spectral properties of operators mapped to zero by some polynomial
Let $T$ be a bounded operator on a Banach space $X$ and suppose that there is a non-constant polynomial $p$ such that $p(T) = 0$. It seems to be well known that the spectrum of such an operator ...

Reference request: The resolvent is analytic in the resolvent set
I am busy reading through Taylor's paper Spectral Theory of Closed Distributive Operators.
On page 192, he defines the resolvent and spectrum of $T$:
Later on in the paragraph, he then proceeds by ...

Norm bounds on spectral variation and eigenvalue variation
Let $A$ and $B$ be two matrices of eigenvalues $\lambda_i$ and $\mu_i$, respectively.
The spectral variation of $B$ w.r.t. $A$ and the eigenvalue variation of $B$ and $A$ are, respectively,

Decomposition of spectrum of a (unbounded, non-self-adjoint) linear operator in two spatial dimensions
Assume $L$ is unbounded, non-self adjoint operator for functions over two space dimensions $(x,y)\in \mathbb{R}^2$, such that upon fourier transforming w.r.t $y$, one can reduce the operator to (for ...

Exponentially weighted spaces: Effect on spectrum
My question is somewhat broad, but I do not know how to precisely state the issue. I am investigating stability of certain class of scalar PDE on $\mathbb{R}$.
Previous work in this topic has ...

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 ...

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 $...
