Let P be a selfadjoint elliptic operator of order m > 0 acting on the sections of a Hermitian vector bundle over a compact Riemannian manifold of dimension n. General arguments show that its zeta and eta functions may have poles only at points of the form s = k m , where k ranges over all non-zero integers ≤ n. In this paper, we construct elementary and explicit examples of perturbations of P w...

We define a new topology, weaker than the gap topology, on the space of selfadjoint operators affiliated to a semifinite von Neumann algebra and define the real-valued spectral flow for a continuous path of selfadjoint Breuer-Fredholm operators in terms of a generalization of the winding number. We compare our definition with Phillips’ analytical definition. Furthermore we prove the homotopy in...

We prove Lieb-Thirring-type bounds on eigenvalues of non-selfadjoint Jacobi operators, which are nearly as strong as those proven previously for the case of selfadjoint operators by Hundertmark and Simon. We use a method based on determinants of operators and on complex function theory, extending and sharpening earlier work of Borichev, Golinskii and Kupin.

It is shown that on every finite network with at least one circuit there exist second order differential operators having an infinite number of nonreal eigenvalues. The presence of nonreal eigenvalues implies that these operators cannot be selfadjoint with respect to any metric. These eigenvalues reveal also the existence of oscillatory solutions for the corresponding time–dependent partial dif...

This is the first in a series of works devoted to small non-selfadjoint perturbations of selfadjoint h-pseudodifferential operators in dimension 2. In the present work we treat the case when the classical flow of the unperturbed part is periodic and the strength ǫ of the perturbation is ≫ h (or sometimes only ≫ h2) and bounded from above by hδ for some δ > 0. We get a complete asymptotic descri...

We prove an explicit formula for the spectral expansions in L(R) generated by selfadjoint differential operators (−1) d dx2n + n−1

We study spectral asymptotics and resolvent bounds for non-selfadjoint perturbations of selfadjoint h-pseudodifferential operators in dimension 2, assuming that the classical flow of the unperturbed part is completely integrable. Spectral contributions coming from rational invariant Lagrangian tori are analyzed. Estimating the tunnel effect between strongly irrational (Diophantine) and rational...
