Sampling The Lowest Eigenfunction to Recover the Potential in a One-Dimensional Schr\"odinger Equation

We consider the BVP $-y" + qy = \lambda y$ with $y(0)=y(1)=0$. The inverse spectral problems asks one to recover $q$ from spectral information. In this paper, we present a very simple method to recover a potential by sampling one eigenfunction. The spectral asymptotics imply that for larger modes, more and more information is lost due to imprecise measurements (i.e. relative errors \textit{increases}) and so it is advantageous to use data from lower modes. Our method also allows us to recover "any" potential from \textit{one} boundary condition.

Off-Diagonal Two Weight Bumps for Fractional Sparse Operators

In this paper, we continue some recent work on two weight boundedness of sparse operators to the "off-diagonal" setting. We use the new "entropy bumps" introduced in by Treil-Volberg ([21]) and improved by Lacey-Spencer ([9]) and the "direct comparison bumps" introduced by Rahm-Spencer ([19]) and improved by Lerner ([10]). Our results are "sharp" in the sense that they are sharp in various particular cases. A feature is that given the current machinery, the proofs are almost trivial.

Borderline Weak--Type Estimates for Sparse Bilinear Forms Involving $A_\infty$ Maximal Functions

For any operator $T$ whose bilinear form can be dominated by a sparse bilinear form, we prove that $T$ is bounded as a map from $L^1(\widetilde{M}w)$ into weak--$L^1(w)$. Our main innovation is that $\widetilde{M}$ is a maximal function defined by directly using the local $A_\infty$ characteristic of the weight (rather than Orlicz norms). Prior results are due to Coifman\&Fefferman, P\'{e}rez, Hyt\"onen\&P\'erez, and Domingo-Salazar\&Lacey\&Rey. As we discuss, but do not prove, the maximal functions we use seem to be on the order of $M_{L({log log} L) ({log log log} L) ({log log log log} L)^{1+\epsilon}}$.

Weyl Asymptotics for Perturbations of Morse Potential and Connections to the Riemann Zeta Function

Let $N(T;V)$ denote the number of eigenvalues of the Schr\"odinger operator $-y'' + Vy$ with absolute value less than $T$. This paper studies the Weyl asymptotics of perturbations of the Schr\"odinger operator $-y'' + \frac{1}{4}e^{2t}y$ on $[x_0,\infty)$. In particular, we show that perturbations by functions $\varepsilon(t)$ that satisfy $\left|\varepsilon(t)\right|\lesssim e^{t}$ do not change the Weyl asymptotics very much. Special emphasis is placed on connections to the asymptotics of the zeros of the Riemann zeta function.

$A_p$ weights and Quantitative Estimates in the Schr\"odinger Setting

Suppose $L=-\Delta+V$ is a Schr\"odinger operator on $\mathbb{R}^n$ with a potential $V$ belonging to certain reverse H\"older class $RH_\sigma$ with $\sigma\geq n/2$. The aim of this paper is to study the $A_p$ weights associated to $L$, denoted by $A_p^L$, which is a larger class than the classical Muckenhoupt $A_p$ weights. We first establish the "exp--log" link between $A_p^L$ and $BMO_L$ (the BMO space associated with $L$), which is the first extension of the classical result to a setting beyond the Laplace operator. Second, we prove the quantitative $A_p^L$ bound for the maximal function and the maximal heat semigroup associated to $L$. Then we further provide the quantitative $A_{p,q}^L$ bound for the fractional integral operator associated to $L$. We point out that all these quantitative bounds are known before in terms of the classical $A_{p,q}$ constant. However, since $A_{p,q}\subset A_{p,q}^L$, the $A_{p,q}^L$ constants are smaller than $A_{p,q}$ constant. Hence, our results here provide a better quantitative constant for maximal functions and fractional integral operators associated to $L$.
