In this paper we prove sharp Lieb-Thirring (LT) inequalities for the family of shifted Coulomb Hamiltonians. More precisely, we prove the classical LT inequalities with the semi-classical constant for this family of operators in any dimension $dgeqslant 3$ and any $gamma geqslant 1$. We also prove that the semi-classical constant is never optimal for the Cwikel-Lieb-Rozenblum (CLR) inequalities for this family of operators in any dimension. In this case, we characterize the optimal constant as the minimum of a finite set and provide an asymptotic expansion as the dimension grows. Using the same method to prove the CLR inequalities for Coulomb, we obtain more information about the conjectured optimal constant in the CLR inequality for arbitrary potentials.

This paper presents significant advancements in tensor analysis and the study of random walks on manifolds. It introduces new tensor inequalities derived using the Mond-Pecaric method, which enriches the existing mathematical tools for tensor analysis. This method, developed by mathematicians Mond and Pecaric, is a powerful technique for establishing inequalities in linear operators and matrices, using functional analysis and operator theory principles. The paper also proposes novel lower and upper bounds for estimating column sums of transition matrices based on their spectral information, which is critical for understanding random walk behavior. Additionally, it derives bounds for the right tail of weighted tensor sums derived from random walks on manifolds, utilizing the spectrum of the Laplace-Beltrami operator over the underlying manifolds and new tensor inequalities to enhance the understanding of these complex mathematical structures.

Many first-passage processes in complex media and related diffusion-controlled reactions can be described by means of eigenfunctions of the mixed Steklov-Neumann problem. In this paper, we investigate this spectral problem in a common setting when a small target or escape window (with Steklov condition) is located on the reflecting boundary (with Neumann condition). We start by inspecting two basic settings: an arc-shaped target on the boundary of a disk and a spherical-cap-shaped target on the boundary of a ball. We construct the explicit kernel of an integral operator that determines the eigenvalues and eigenfunctions and deduce their asymptotic behavior in the small-target limit. By relating the limiting kernel to an appropriate Dirichlet-to-Neumann operator, we extend these asymptotic results to other bounded domains with smooth boundaries. A straightforward application to first-passage processes is presented; in particular, we revisit the small-target behavior of the mean first-reaction time on perfectly or partially reactive targets, as well as for more sophisticated surface reactions that extend the conventional narrow escape problem.

We construct a unitary operator between Hilbert spaces of generalized eigenfunctions of Coulomb operators and the Laplace-Beltrami operator of hyperbolic space that intertwines their respective Poisson operators on $L^2(mathbb{S}^{d-1})$. The constructed operator generalizes Fock's unitary transformation, originally defined between the discrete spectra of the attractive Coulomb operator and the Laplace-Beltrami operator on the sphere, to the setting of continuous spectra. Among other connections, this map explains why the scattering matrices are the same in these two different settings, and it also provides an explicit formula for the Poisson operator of the Coulomb Hamiltonian.

We obtain the sharp arithmetic Gordon's theorem: that is, absence of eigenvalues on the set of energies with Lyapunov exponent bounded by the exponential rate of approximation of frequency by the rationals, for a large class of one-dimensional quasiperiodic Schr"odinger operators, with no (modulus of) continuity required. The class includes all unbounded monotone potentials with finite Lyapunov exponents and all potentials of bounded variation. The main tool is a new uniform upper bound on iterates of cocycles of bounded variation.

This work is concerned with the spectral analysis of a piezoelectric energy harvesting model based on a coupled bending-torsion beam. After building the problem's operator setting and showing that the governing operator is nonselfadjoint with a purely discrete spectrum, we derive an asymptotic approximation of its spectrum. In doing so, we also prove that the addition of energy harvesting can be viewed as a weak perturbation of the underlying beam dynamics, in the sense that no piezoelectric parameters appear in the spectral approximation's first two orders of magnitude. We conclude by outlining future work based on numerical simulations.
