Resolvent estimates for a two-dimensional non-self-adjoint operator

Resolvent estimates for non-self-adjoint operators via semi-groups

We consider a non-self-adjoint h-pseudodifferential operator P in the semi-classical limit (h → 0). If p is the leading symbol, then under suitable assumptions about the behaviour of p at infinity, we know that the resolvent (z − P )−1 is uniformly bounded for z in any compact set not intersecting the closure of the range of p. Under a subellipticity condition, we show that the resolvent extend...

Correspondence of the eigenvalues of a non-self-adjoint operator to those of a self-adjoint operator

We prove that the eigenvalues of a certain highly non-self-adjoint operator that arises in fluid mechanics correspond, up to scaling by a positive constant, to those of a self-adjoint operator with compact resolvent; hence there are infinitely many real eigenvalues which accumulate only at ±∞. We use this result to determine the asymptotic distribution of the eigenvalues and to compute some of ...

Spectral Behaviour of a Simple Non-self-adjoint Operator

We investigate the spectrum of a typical non-selfadjoint differential operator AD = −d2/dx2 ⊗ A acting on L(0, 1) ⊗ C, where A is a 2 × 2 constant matrix. We impose Dirichlet and Neumann boundary conditions in the first and second coordinate respectively at both ends of [0, 1] ⊂ R. For A ∈ R we explore in detail the connection between the entries of A and the spectrum of AD, we find necessary c...

Non-Perturbative Dirac Operator Resolvent Analysis

We analyze the 1 + 1 dimensional Nambu-Jona-Lasinio model nonperturbatively. In addition to its simple ground state saddle points, the effective action of this model has a rich collection of non-trivial saddle points in which the composite fields σ(x) = 〈ψ̄ψ〉 and π(x) = 〈ψ̄iγ5ψ〉 form static space dependent configurations because of non-trivial dynamics. These configurations may be viewed as one d...
