Let $A$ be a self-adjoint operator on a Hilbert space $fH$. Assume that the spectrum of $A$ consists of two disjoint components $sigma_0$ and $sigma_1$. Let $V$ be a bounded operator on $fH$, off-diagonal and $J$-self-adjoint with respect to the orthogonal decomposition $fH=fH_0oplusfH_1$ where $fH_0$ and $fH_1$ are the spectral subspaces of $A$ associated with the spectral sets $sigma_0$ and $sigma_1$, respectively. We find (optimal) conditions on $V$ guaranteeing that the perturbed operator $L=A+V$ is similar to a self-adjoint operator. Moreover, we prove a number of (sharp) norm bounds on variation of the spectral subspaces of $A$ under the perturbation $V$. Some of the results obtained are reformulated in terms of the Krein space theory. As an example, the quantum harmonic oscillator under a PT-symmetric perturbation is discussed.

We extend the classical boundary values begin{align*} & g(a) = - W(u_{a}(lambda_0,.), g)(a) = lim_{x downarrow a} frac{g(x)}{hat u_{a}(lambda_0,x)}, &g^{[1]}(a) = (p g)(a) = W(hat u_{a}(lambda_0,.), g)(a) = lim_{x downarrow a} frac{g(x) - g(a) hat u_{a}(lambda_0,x)}{u_{a}(lambda_0,x)} end{align*} for regular Sturm-Liouville operators associated with differential expressions of the type $tau = r(x)^{-1}[-(d/dx)p(x)(d/dx) + q(x)]$ for a.e. $xin[a,b] subset mathbb{R}$, to the case where $tau$ is singular on $(a,b) subseteq mathbb{R}$ and the associated minimal operator $T_{min}$ is bounded from below. Here $u_a(lambda_0, cdot)$ and $hat u_a(lambda_0, cdot)$ denote suitably normalized principal and nonprincipal solutions of $tau u = lambda_0 u$ for appropriate $lambda_0 in mathbb{R}$, respectively. We briefly discuss the singular Weyl-Titchmarsh-Kodaira $m$-function and finally illustrate the theory in some detail with the examples of the Bessel, Legendre, and Kummer (resp., Laguerre) operators.
Let $Omega_-$ and $Omega_+$ be two bounded smooth domains in $mathbb{R}^n$, $nge 2$, separated by a hypersurface $Sigma$. For $mu>0$, consider the function $h_mu=1_{Omega_-}-mu 1_{Omega_+}$. We discuss self-adjoint realizations of the operator $L_{mu}=- ablacdot h_mu abla$ in $L^2(Omega_-cupOmega_+)$ with the Dirichlet condition at the exterior boundary. We show that $L_mu$ is always essentially self-adjoint on the natural domain (corresponding to transmission-type boundary conditions at the interface $Sigma$) and study some properties of its unique self-adjoint extension $mathcal{L}_mu:=overline{L_mu}$. If $mu e 1$, then $mathcal{L}_mu$ simply coincides with $L_mu$ and has compact resolvent. If $n=2$, then $mathcal{L}_1$ has a non-empty essential spectrum, $sigma_mathrm{ess}(mathcal{L}_{1})={0}$. If $nge 3$, the spectral properties of $mathcal{L}_1$ depend on the geometry of $Sigma$. In particular, it has compact resolvent if $Sigma$ is the union of disjoint strictly convex hypersurfaces, but can have a non-empty essential spectrum if a part of $Sigma$ is flat. Our construction features the method of boundary triplets, and the problem is reduced to finding the self-adjoint extensions of a pseudodifferential operator on $Sigma$. We discuss some links between the resulting self-adjoint operator $mathcal{L}_mu$ and some effects observed in negative-index materials.
We consider metric perturbations of the Landau Hamiltonian. We investigate the asymptotic behaviour of the discrete spectrum of the perturbed operator near the Landau levels, for perturbations with power-like decay, exponential decay or compact support.
We present a survey of some recent results concerning the location and the Weyl formula for the complex eigenvalues of two non self-adjoint operators. We study the eigenvalues of the generator $G$ of the contraction semigroup $e^{tG}, : t geq 0,$ related to the wave equation in an unbounded domain $Omega$ with dissipative boundary conditions on $partial Omega$. Also one examines the interior transmission eigenvalues (ITE) in a bounded domain $K$ obtaining a Weyl formula with remainder for the counting function $N(r)$ of complex (ITE). The analysis is based on a semi-classical approach.
In this paper the spectral and scattering properties of a family of self-adjoint Dirac operators in $L^2(Omega; mathbb{C}^4)$, where $Omega subset mathbb{R}^3$ is either a bounded or an unbounded domain with a compact $C^2$-smooth boundary, are studied in a systematic way. These operators can be viewed as the natural relativistic counterpart of Laplacians with Robin boundary conditions. Among the Dirac operators treated here is also the so-called MIT bag operator, which has been used by physicists and more recently was discussed in the mathematical literature. Our approach is based on abstract boundary triple techniques from extension theory of symmetric operators and a thorough study of certain classes of (boundary) integral operators, that appear in a Krein-type resolvent formula. The analysis of the perturbation term in this formula leads to a description of the spectrum and a Birman-Schwinger principle, a qualitative understanding of the scattering properties in the case that $Omega$ is unbounded, and corresponding trace formulas.
