Non-Elliptic Quadratic Forms and Semiclassical Estimates for Non-selfadjoint Operators

Resolvent estimates for non-selfadjoint operators with double characteristics

We present recent progress in the understanding of the spectral and subelliptic properties of non-elliptic quadratic operators with application to the study of return to equilibrium for some systems of chains of oscillators. We then explain how these results allow to describe the spectral properties and to give sharp resolvent estimates for some classes of non-selfadjoint pseudodi erential oper...

Spectral Estimates and Non-Selfadjoint Perturbations of Spheroidal Wave Operators

We derive a spectral representation for the oblate spheroidal wave operator, which is holomorphic in the aspherical parameter Ω in a neighborhood of the real line. For real Ω, estimates are derived for all eigenvalue gaps uniformly in Ω. The proof of the gap estimates is based on detailed estimates for complex solutions of the Riccati equation. The spectral representation for complex Ω is deriv...

Spectral instability for non-selfadjoint operators∗

We describe a recent result of M. Hager, stating roughly that for nonselfadjoint ordinary differential operators with a small random perturbation we have a Weyl law for the distribution of eigenvalues with a probability very close to 1.

Non-selfadjoint Perturbations of Selfadjoint Operators in 2 Dimensions I

This is the first in a series of works devoted to small non-selfadjoint perturbations of selfadjoint h-pseudodifferential operators in dimension 2. In the present work we treat the case when the classical flow of the unperturbed part is periodic and the strength ǫ of the perturbation is ≫ h (or sometimes only ≫ h2) and bounded from above by hδ for some δ > 0. We get a complete asymptotic descri...
