We prove that the Hausdorff dimension of the spectrum of a discrete Schr"odinger operator with Sturmian potential of bounded type tends to one as coupling tends to zero. The proof is based on the trace map formalism.

We explore the Steklov eigenvalue problem on convex polygons, focusing mainly on the inverse Steklov problem. Our primary finding reveals that, for almost all convex polygonal domains, there exist at most finitely many non-congruent domains with the same Steklov spectrum. Moreover, we obtain explicit upper bounds for the maximum number of mutually Steklov isospectral non-congruent polygonal domains. Along the way, we obtain isoperimetric bounds for the Steklov eigenvalues of a convex polygon in terms of the minimal interior angle of the polygon.

We use a model operator approach and the spectral theorem for self-adjoint operators in a Hilbert space to derive the basic results of abstract left-definite theory in a straightforward manner. The theory is amply illustrated with a variety of concrete examples employing scales of Hilbert spaces, fractional Sobolev spaces, and domains of (strictly) positive fractional powers of operators, employing interpolation theory. In particular, we explicitly describe the domains of positive powers of the harmonic oscillator operator in $L^2(mathbb{R})$ $big($and hence that of the Hermite operator in $L^2big(mathbb{R}; e^{-x^2}dx)big)big)$ in terms of fractional Sobolev spaces, certain commutation techniques, and positive powers of (the absolute value of) the operator of multiplication by the independent variable in $L^2(mathbb{R})$.

This paper addresses inverse spectral problems associated with Dirac-type operators with a constant delay, specifically when this delay is less than one-third of the interval length. Our research focuses on eigenvalue behavior and operator recovery from spectra. We find that two spectra alone are insufficient to fully recover the potentials. Additionally, we consider the Ambarzumian-type inverse problem for Dirac-type operators with a delay. Our results have significant implications for the study of inverse problems related to the differential operators with a constant delay and may inform future research directions in this field.

We introduce the notion of p-adic equiangular lines and derive the first fundamental relation between common angle, dimension of the space and the number of lines. More precisely, we show that if ${tau_j}_{j=1}^n$ is p-adic $gamma$-equiangular lines in $mathbb{Q}^d_p$, then begin{align*} (1) quadquad quad quad |n|^2leq |d|max{|n|, gamma^2 }. end{align*} We call Inequality (1) as the p-adic van Lint-Seidel relative bound. We believe that this complements fundamental van Lint-Seidel textit{[Indag. Math., 1966]} relative bound for equiangular lines in the p-adic case.

Let $S$ be a compact hyperbolic surface of genus $ggeq 2$ and let $I(S) = frac{1}{mathrm{Vol}(S)}int_{S} frac{1}{mathrm{Inj}(x)^2 wedge 1} dx$, where $mathrm{Inj}(x)$ is the injectivity radius at $x$.
