On the linearized local Calderon problem

In this article, we investigate a density problem coming from the linearization of Calderón's problem with partial data. More precisely, we prove that the set of products of harmonic functions on a bounded smooth domain $Ω$ vanishing on any fixed closed proper subset of the boundary are dense in $L^{1}(Ω)$ in all dimensions $n \geq 2$. This is proved using ideas coming from the proof of Kashiwara's Watermelon theorem.

$PT$ symmetric non-selfadjoint operators, diagonalizable and non-diagonalizable, with real discrete spectrum

Consider in $L^2(R^d)$, $d\geq 1$, the operator family $H(g):=H_0+igW$. $\ds H_0= a^\ast_1a_1+... +a^\ast_da_d+d/2$ is the quantum harmonic oscillator with rational frequencies, $W$ a $P$ symmetric bounded potential, and $g$ a real coupling constant. We show that if $|g|<ρ$, $ρ$ being an explicitly determined constant, the spectrum of $H(g)$ is real and discrete. Moreover we show that the operator $\ds H(g)=a^\ast_1 a_1+a^\ast_2a_2+ig a^\ast_2a_1$ has real discrete spectrum but is not diagonalizable.

The Calderón problem with partial data

In this paper we improve an earlier result by Bukhgeim and Uhlmann, by showing that in dimension larger than or equal to three, the knowledge of the Cauchy data for the Schrödinger equation measured on possibly very small subsets of the boundary determines uniquely the potential. We follow the general strategy of Bukhgeim and Uhlmann but use a richer set of solutions to the Dirichlet problem.

Elementary linear algebra for advanced spectral problems

We discuss the general method of Grushin problems, closely related to Shur complements, Feshbach projections and effective Hamiltonians, and describe various appearances in spectral theory, pdes, mathematical physics and numerical problems.

Determinants of pseudodifferential operators and complex deformations of phase space

Consider an h-pseudodifferential operator P, whose symbol extends holomorphically to a tubular neighborhood of the real phase space and converges sufficiently fast to 1, so that the determinant of P is well-defined. We show that the modulus of this determinant is asymptotically bounded by an exponential of the integral of the logarithm of the modulus of the symbol along a certain complex deformation of the real phase space. Since there are many possible such deformations, we get a variational problem. The paper is devoted to the corresponding variational calculus.

Bohr-Sommerfeld quantization condition for non-selfadjoint operators in dimension 2

For a class of non-selfadjoint h-pseudodifferential operators in dimension 2, we determine all eigenvalues in an h-independent domain in the complex plane and show that they are given by a Bohr-Sommerfeld quantization condition. No complete integrability is assumed, and as a geometrical step in our proof, we get a KAM-type theorem (without small divisors) in the complex domain.

Birkhoff normal forms for Fourier integral operators II

In this work we construct logarithms and Birkhoff normal forms for elliptic Fourier integral operators in the semi-classical limit under more general assumptions than in aprevious work by the first author. The methods are similar but slightly different.
