We consider a dilute Bose gas in the thermodynamic limit and prove a lower bound on the free energy for low temperatures which is in agreement with the conjecture of Lee-Huang-Yang on the excitation spectrum of the system. Combining techniques of cite{FS2} and cite{HHNST}, we give a simpler and shorter proof resolving the case of strong interactions, including the hard-core potential.

In this paper, we provide an affirmative answer to [16, Conjecture 1.5] on the Alexandrov-Fenchel inequality for quermassintegrals for convex capillary hypersurfaces in the Euclidean half-space. More generally, we establish a theory for capillary convex bodies in the half-space and prove a general Alexandrov-Fenchel inequality for mixed volumes of capillary convex bodies. The conjecture [16, Conjecture 1.5] follows as its consequence.

In this note, we show that for a family of quantum walk models with electric fields, the spectrum is the unit circle for any irrational field. The result also holds for the associated CMV matrices defined by skew-shifts. Generalizations to CMV matrices with skew-shifts on higher dimensional torus are also obtained.

The aim of this paper is to study the existence of eigenvalues in the gap of the essential spectrum of the one-dimensional Dirac operator in the presence of a bounded potential. We employ a generalized variational principle to prove existence of such eigenvalues, estimate how many eigenvalues there are, and give upper and lower bounds for them.

We provide inequalities enabling to bound the error between the exact solution and an approximated solution of an eigenvalue problem, obtained by subspace projection, as in the reduced basis method. We treat self-adjoint operators and degenerate cases. We apply the bounds to the eigenvector continuation method, which consists in creating the reduced space by using basis vectors extracted from perturbation theory.

In this note we consider achieving the largest principle eigenvalue of a Robin Laplacian on a bounded domain $Omega$ by optimizing the Robin parameter function under an integral constraint. The main novelty of our approach lies in establishing a close relation between the problem under consideration and the asymptotic behavior of the Dirichlet heat content of $Omega$. By using this relation we deduce a two-term asymptotic expansion of the principle eigenvalue and discuss several applications.

This is an upgraded version of von Neumann's famous theory on self-adjoint extensions of symmetric operators. As implied in the title, we have incorporated complex analysis (and complex geometry) into this theory in an essential way. The roles played by Hermtian symmetric spaces and modern value distribution theory in the theory are clarified. In doing so, many new concepts are introduced and many new results are obtained.

We consider the eigenvalues of a one-dimensional semiclassical Schr"odinger operator, where the potential consist of two quadratic ends (that is, looks like a harmonic oscillator at each infinite end), possibly with a flat region in the middle. Such a potential notably has a discontinuity in the second derivative. We derive an asymptotic expansion, valid either in the high energy regime or the semiclassical regime, with a leading order term given by the Bohr-Sommerfeld quantization condition, and an asymptotic expansion consisting of negative powers of the leading order term, with coefficients that are oscillatory in the leading order term. We apply this expansion to study the results of the Gutzwiller Trace formula and the heat kernel asymptotic for this class of potentials, giving an idea into what results to expect for such trace formulas for non-smooth potentials.

This paper shows that the wave trace of a bounded and strictly convex planar domain may be arbitrarily smooth in a neighborhood of some point in the length spectrum. In other words, the Poisson relation, which asserts that the singular support of the wave trace is contained in the closure of $pm$ the length spectrum, can almost be made into a strict inclusion. To do so, we construct large families of domains for which there exist multiple periodic billiard orbits having the same length but different Maslov indices. Using the microlocal Balian-Bloch-Zelditch parametrix for wave invariants developed in our previous paper, we solve a large system of equations for the boundary curvature jets, which leads to the required cancellations. We call such periodic orbits silent, since they are undetectable from the ostensibly audible wave trace. Such cancellations show that there are potential limitations in using the wave trace for inverse spectral problems and more fundamentally, that the Laplace spectrum and length spectrum are inherently different mathematical objects, at least insofar as the wave trace is concerned.
