Abstract

We introduce the weighted graph Laplacian and the notion of Schrödinger operator on a locally finite weighted graph . Concerning essential self-adjointness, we extend Wojciechowski's and Dodziuk's results for graphs with vertex constant weight. The main result in this work states that on any metrically complete weighted graph with bounded degree, the Laplacian is essentially self-adjoint and the same holds for the Schrödinger operator provided the associated quadratic form is bounded from below. We construct for the proof a strictly positive and harmonic function which allows us to write any Schrödinger operator as a weighted graph Laplacian modulo a unitary transform.

Hadamard-type formulas for real eigenvalues of canonically symplectic operators

We give first-order asymptotic expansions for the resolvent and Hadamard-type formulas for the eigenvalue curves of one-parameter families of canonically symplectic operators. We allow for parameter dependence in the boundary conditions, bounded perturbations and trace operators associated with each off-diagonal operator, and give formulas for derivatives of eigenvalue curves emanating from the discrete eigenvalue of the unperturbed operator in terms of Maslov crossing forms. We derive the Hadamard-type formulas using two different methods: via a symplectic resolvent difference formula and asymptotic expansions of the resolvent, and using Lyapunov-Schmidt reduction and the implicit function theorem. The latter approach facilitates derivative formulas when the eigenvalue curves are viewed as functions of the spectral parameter. We apply our abstract results to derive a spectral index theorem for the linearised operator associated with a standing wave in the nonlinear Schrödinger equation on a compact star graph.

Pólya's conjecture for higher-dimensional Neumann balls

We prove Pólya's conjecture for the Neumann eigenvalues of the Laplacian on Euclidean balls in dimensions three and higher. The proof further develops the approach introduced in our earlier work on the two-dimensional case and on Dirichlet eigenvalues in arbitrary dimensions. The main difficulty in the higher dimensional Neumann case is that one has to estimate zeros of the derivatives of ultraspherical Bessel functions, rather than of the usual Bessel functions. For low-lying eigenvalues, we use variational estimates involving dimension-dependent test functions, which is a novel ingredient allowing us to control a larger dimension-scaled frequency range. Other components of the proof include phase-function bounds, lattice-point counting techniques, and computer-assisted arguments.

Schrödinger operators with accretive potentials in weighted spaces

We analyse Schrödinger operators with accretive potentials in weighted spaces. We find conditions on potentials and weights for which the Dirichlet realisation, introduced by generalised form methods, has non-empty resolvent set. We establish a domain and graph norm separation property, as well as sufficient conditions for the compactness and Schatten class of the resolvent. Moreover, we investigate the relation between discrete spectra and eigenfunctions of operators in standard and weighted spaces. As applications we extend results on the completeness of eigensystems of operators with accretive potentials from standard to weighted spaces and analyse operator matrices exhibiting a Schur dominance property, in particular, related to a wave equation with strong accretive damping.
