In the present paper, motivated by point interaction, we propose a new and explicit approach to inverse Sturm-Liouville eigenvalue problems under Dirichlet boundary. More precisely, when a given Sturm-Liouville eigenvalue problem with the unknown integrable potential interacts with $delta$-function potentials, we obtain a family of perturbation problems, called point interaction models in quantum mechanics. Then, only depending on the first eigenvalues of these perturbed problems, we define and study the first eigenvalue function, by which the desired potential can be expressed explicitly and uniquely. As by-products, using the analytic function theoretic tools, we also generalize several fundamental theorems of classical Sturm-Liouville problems to measure differential equations.

Comparing invariants from both topological and geometric perspectives is a key focus in index theorem. This paper compares higher analytic and topological torsions and establishes a version of the higher Cheeger-M"uller/Bismut-Zhang theorem. In fact, Bismut-Goette achieved this comparison assuming the existence of fiberwise Morse functions satisfying the fiberwise Thom-Smale transversality condition (TS condition). To fully generalize the theorem, we should remove this assumption. Notably, unlike fiberwise Morse functions, fiberwise generalized Morse functions (GMFs) always exist, we extend Bismut-Goette's setup by considering a fibration $ M to S $ with a unitarily flat complex bundle $ F to M $ and a fiberwise GMF $ f $, while retaining the TS condition. Compared to Bismut-Goette's work, handling birth-death points for a generalized Morse function poses a key difficulty. To address this, first, by the work of the author M.P., joint with Zhang and Zhu, we focus on a relative version of the theorem. Here, analytic and topological torsions are normalized by subtracting their corresponding torsions for trivial bundles. Next, using new techniques from by the author J.Y., we excise a small neighborhood around the locus where $f$ has birth-death points. This reduces the problem to Bismut-Goette's settings (or its version with boundaries) via a Witten-type deformation. However, new difficulties arise from very singular critical points during this deformation.To address these, we extend methods from Bismut-Lebeau, using Agmon estimates for noncompact manifolds developed by Dai and J.Y.
从拓扑和几何角度比较不变式是索引定理的一个重点。本文比较了高等解析翘曲和拓扑翘曲,并建立了高等切格-穆勒/比斯穆特-张定理的一个版本。事实上,俾斯麦-高特是在假定存在满足纤维性 Thom-Smale 横向条件(TS 条件)的纤维性莫尔斯函数的情况下实现这一比较的。为了完全推广该定理,我们应该取消这一假设。值得注意的是,与纤维莫尔斯函数不同,纤维广义莫尔斯函数(GMFs)总是存在的,我们在保留TS条件的前提下,通过考虑纤维$ M to S $与单位平复束$ F to M $和纤维广义GMF $ f $,扩展了比斯穆特-戈埃特的设置。与比斯穆特-戈埃特的工作相比,处理广义莫尔斯函数的生灭点是一个关键难题。为了解决这个问题,首先,通过作者M.P.与张和朱的联合工作,我们重点研究了该定理的相对版本。在这里,解析扭转和拓扑扭转是通过减去琐细束的相应扭转来归一化的。接下来,我们利用作者 J.Y. 的新技术,在$f$有出生-死亡点的位置周围切除一个小邻域。这就通过维滕类型变换将问题简化为俾斯麦-戈埃特(Bismut-Goette)的设置(或其有边界的版本)。为了解决这些问题,我们扩展了俾斯麦-勒博的方法,使用戴建华和 J.Y. 提出的非紧凑流形的阿格蒙估计。

The CR Paneitz operator is closely related to some important problems in CR geometry. In this paper, we consider this operator on a non-embeddable CR manifold. This operator is essentially self-adjoint and its spectrum is discrete except zero. Moreover, the eigenspace corresponding to each non-zero eigenvalue is a finite dimensional subspace of the space of smooth functions. Furthermore, we show that the CR Paneitz operator on the Rossi sphere, an example of non-embeddable CR manifolds, has infinitely many negative eigenvalues, which is significantly different from the embeddable case.

We study an analog of the anisotropic Calder'on problem for fractional Schr"odinger operators $(-Delta_g)^alpha + V$ with $alpha in (0,1)$ on closed Riemannian manifolds of dimensions two and higher. We prove that the knowledge of a Cauchy data set of solutions of the fractional Schr"odinger equation, given on an open nonempty a priori known subset of the manifold determines both the Riemannian manifold up to an isometry and the potential up to the corresponding gauge transformation, under certain geometric assumptions on the manifold as well as the observation set. Our method of proof is based on: (i) studying a new variant of the Gel'fand inverse spectral problem without the normalization assumption on the energy of eigenfunctions, and (ii) the discovery of an entanglement principle for nonlocal equations involving two or more compactly supported functions. Our solution to (i) makes connections to antipodal sets as well as local control for eigenfunctions and quantum chaos, while (ii) requires sharp interpolation results for holomorphic functions. We believe that both of these results can find applications in other areas of inverse problems.

We investigate a Hamiltonian with radial potential wells and an Aharonov-Bohm vector potential with two poles. Assuming that the potential wells are symmetric, we derive the semi-classical asymptotics of the splitting between the ground and second state energies. The flux effects due to the Aharonov-Bohm vector potential are of lower order compared to the contributions coming from the potential wells.

A right quaternion matrix polynomial is an expression of the form $P(lambda)= displaystyle sum_{i=0}^{m}A_i lambda^i$, where $A_i$'s are $n times n$ quaternion matrices with $A_m neq 0$. The aim of this manuscript is to determine the location of right eigenvalues of $P(lambda)$ relative to certain subsets of the set of quaternions. In particular, we extend the notion of (hyper)stability of complex matrix polynomials to quaternion matrix polynomials and obtain location of right eigenvalues of $P(lambda)$ using the following methods: $(1)$ we give a relation between (hyper)stability of a quaternion matrix polynomial and its complex adjoint matrix polynomial, $(2)$ we prove that $P(lambda)$ is stable with respect to an open (closed) ball in the set of quaternions, centered at a complex number if and only if it is stable with respect to its intersection with the set of complex numbers and $(3)$ as a consequence of $(1)$ and $(2)$, we prove that right eigenvalues of $P(lambda)$ lie between two concentric balls of specific radii in the set of quaternions centered at the origin. We identify classes of quaternion matrix polynomials for which stability and hyperstability are equivalent. We finally deduce hyperstability of certain univariate quaternion matrix polynomials via stability of certain multivariate quaternion matrix polynomials.
