Abstract

Fritz Gesztesy's varied and prolific career has produced many transformational contributions to the spectral theory of one-dimensional Schrödinger equations. He has often done this by revisiting the insights of great mathematical analysts of the past, connecting them in new ways, and reinventing them in a thoroughly modern context. In this short note we recall and relate some classic transformations that figure among Fritz Gestesy's favorite tools of spectral theory, and indeed thereby make connections among some of his favorite scholars of the past, Bohl, Darboux, and Green. After doing this in the context of one-dimensional Schrödinger equations on the line, we obtain some novel analogues for discrete one-dimensional Schrödinger equations. \smallskip Dem einzigartigen Fritz gewidmet.

Regular hyperbolic tilings have no $\ell^2$ eigenfunctions

We show that the adjacency operator of the $1$-skeleton of any regular tiling of the hyperbolic plane has no nonzero square-integrable eigenfunctions. As a consequence, the same holds for every infinite connected regular graph admitting a proper planar embedding with regular dual.

Inverse Heat Source Problems from Boundary Flux and Interior Observations on Sets of Low Hausdorff Dimension

This paper investigates conditional stability for inverse source problems for the heat equation with a known temporal factor and an unknown spatial component in a bounded $C^{1,1}$ domain. We focus on observations supported on sets of low Hausdorff dimension and establish conditional stability in this setting. For boundary observations on compact sets of positive $q$-dimensional Hausdorff content, we establish logarithmic stability from full-time boundary flux observations and double-logarithmic stability from delayed-time boundary flux observations. The admissible dimensional ranges are $q>d-2$ when the observation set is contained in a flat boundary patch and $q>d-1-c_{d+1}$ on a general $C^{1,1}$ boundary, where $c_{d+1}>0$ depends only on the dimension. A key ingredient in deriving these results is a new boundary spectral inequality for the Dirichlet Laplacian, which controls a finite Dirichlet spectral sum through observations of the normal derivative of its elliptic extension on such a boundary set. Our results also cover inverse heat source problems with interior observations on sets of positive $q$-dimensional Hausdorff content for some $q>d-1$, yielding logarithmic stability from full-time observations for general sources in $H_0^1(\Omega)$ and H\"older stability from terminal-time observations for sources in a suitable spectral Gevrey class.

Resolvent bounds and eigenvalue estimates of generalized Schr\"odinger operators with complex potentials on compact manifolds

We extend Cuenin's compact-manifold spectral bounds for Schr\"odinger operators with complex potentials to a general pseudodifferential setting. More precisely, we study operators $P+V$, where $P$ is a positive self-adjoint elliptic classical pseudodifferential operator of positive order and $V$ is complex-valued. The main analytic input is a resolvent principle showing that spectral cluster estimates for $P$ imply $L^p$-$L^{p'}$ resolvent estimates along suitable complex curves. Combined with Sogge's spectral cluster bounds, this yields exterior-region resolvent estimates extending those of Krupchyk and Uhlmann; we also prove direct resolvent bounds in the interior region. On Zoll manifolds, we discuss the sharpness of the resulting spectral bounds.
