We consider a symmetric block operator spectral problem with two spectral parameters. Under some reasonable restrictions, we state localisation theorems for the pair-eigenvalues and discuss relations to a class of non-self-adjoint spectral problems.
We prove new spectral enclosures for the non-real spectrum of a class of $2times2$ block operator matrices with self-adjoint operators $A$ and $D$ on the diagonal and operators $B$ and $-B^*$ as off-diagonal entries. One of our main results resembles
Gershgorins circle theorem. The enclosures are applied to $J$-frame operators.
We construct a functional model (direct integral expansion) and study the spectra of certain periodic block-operator Jacobi matrices, in particular, of general 2D partial difference operators of the second order. We obtain the upper bound, optimal in
a sense, for the Lebesgue measure of their spectra. The examples of the operators for which there are several gaps in the spectrum are given.
We consider $Ntimes N$ Hermitian random matrices $H$ consisting of blocks of size $Mgeq N^{6/7}$. The matrix elements are i.i.d. within the blocks, close to a Gaussian in the four moment matching sense, but their distribution varies from block to blo
ck to form a block-band structure, with an essential band width $M$. We show that the entries of the Greens function $G(z)=(H-z)^{-1}$ satisfy the local semicircle law with spectral parameter $z=E+mathbf{i}eta$ down to the real axis for any $eta gg N^{-1}$, using a combination of the supersymmetry method inspired by cite{Sh2014} and the Greens function comparison strategy. Previous estimates were valid only for $etagg M^{-1}$. The new estimate also implies that the eigenvectors in the middle of the spectrum are fully delocalized.
We consider a new class of non-self-adjoint matrices that arise from an indefinite self-adjoint linear pencil of matrices, and obtain the spectral asymptotics of the spectra as the size of the matrices diverges to infinity. We prove that the spectrum
is qualitatively different when a certain parameter $c$ equals $0$, and when it is non-zero, and that certain features of the spectrum depend on Diophantine properties of $c$.
We consider the self-adjoint Schrodinger operator in $L^2(mathbb{R}^d)$, $dgeq 2$, with a $delta$-potential supported on a hyperplane $Sigmasubseteqmathbb{R}^d$ of strength $alpha=alpha_0+alpha_1$, where $alpha_0inmathbb{R}$ is a constant and $alpha_
1in L^p(Sigma)$ is a nonnegative function. As the main result, we prove that the lowest spectral point of this operator is not smaller than that of the same operator with potential strength $alpha_0+alpha_1^*$, where $alpha_1^*$ is the symmetric decreasing rearrangement of $alpha_1$. The proof relies on the Birman-Schwinger principle and the reduction to an analogue of the P{o}lya-SzegH{o} inequality for the relativistic kinetic energy in $mathbb{R}^{d-1}$.
