Analytic and algebraic properties of dispersion relations (Bloch varieties) and Fermi surfaces. What is known and unknown

P Kuchment - Journal of Mathematical Physics, 2023 - pubs.aip.org
Dispersion relations and Fermi surfaces for periodic operators of mathematical physics are
some of the most common and important notions in condensed matter physics, in particular …

Stability of spectral partitions and the Dirichlet-to-Neumann map

G Berkolaiko, Y Canzani, G Cox… - Calculus of Variations and …, 2022 - Springer
The oscillation of a Laplacian eigenfunction gives a great deal of information about the
manifold on which it is defined. This oscillation can be encoded in the nodal deficiency, an …

Bloch varieties and quantum ergodicity for periodic graph operators

W Liu - Journal d'Analyse Mathématique, 2024 - Springer
For periodic graph operators, we establish criteria to determine the overlaps of spectral band
functions based on Bloch varieties. One criterion states that for a large family of periodic …

Critical points of discrete periodic operators

M Faust, F Sottile - Journal of Spectral Theory, 2024 - ems.press
We study the spectra of operators on periodic graphs using methods from combinatorial
algebraic geometry. Our main result is a bound on the number of complex critical points of …

Spectral shift via “lateral” perturbation

G Berkolaiko, P Kuchment - Journal of Spectral Theory, 2022 - ems.press
We consider a compact perturbation H0 DSCK 0 K0 of a self-adjoint operator S with an
eigenvalue ı below its essential spectrum and the corresponding eigenfunction f. The …

Resolvent expansions for self‐adjoint operators via boundary triplets

Y Latushkin, S Sukhtaiev - Bulletin of the London Mathematical …, 2022 - Wiley Online Library
In this paper, we develop certain aspects of perturbation theory for self‐adjoint operators
subject to small variations of their domains. We use the abstract theory of boundary triplets to …

Spectrum of Schr\" odinger operators on subcovering graphs

N Saburova - arXiv preprint arXiv:2409.05830, 2024 - arxiv.org
We consider discrete Schr\" odinger operators with periodic potentials on periodic graphs.
Their spectra consist of a finite number of bands. By" rolling up" a periodic graph along some …

Duistarmaat's triple index and the difference of Hermitian matrices

G Berkolaiko, G Cox, Y Latushkin… - arXiv preprint arXiv …, 2024 - arxiv.org
In this paper we develop a systematic calculus for the Duistermaat index, a symplectic
invariant defined for triples of Lagrangian subspaces. Introduced nearly half a century ago …

Unique continuation principles for finite-element discretizations of the Laplacian

G Cox, S MacLachlan, L Steeves - arXiv preprint arXiv:2410.08963, 2024 - arxiv.org
Unique continuation principles are fundamental properties of elliptic partial differential
equations, giving conditions that guarantee that the solution to an elliptic equation must be …

G Berkolaiko, Y Canzani, G Cox… - Calculus of Variations …, 2022 - marzuola.web.unc.edu
The oscillation of a Laplacian eigenfunction gives a great deal of information about the
manifold on which it is defined. This oscillation can be encoded in the nodal deficiency, an …
