Abstract

For Schr\"odinger operators with potentials that are asymptotically homogeneous of degree $-2$, the size of the coupling determines whether it has finite or infinitely many negative eigenvalues. In the latter case the asymptotic accumulation of these eigenvalues at zero has been determined by Kirsch and Simon. A similar regime occurs for potentials which are not asymptotically monotone, but oscillatory. In this case when the ratio between the amplitude and frequency of oscillation is asymptotically homogeneous of degree $-1$ the coupling determines the finiteness of the negative spectrum. We present a new proof of this fact by making use of a ground state representation. As a consequence of this approach we derive an asymptotic formula analogous to that of Kirsch and Simon.

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.
