Rotation numbers for Jacobi matrices with matrix entries
نویسنده
چکیده
A selfadjoined block tridiagonal matrix with positive definite blocks on the off-diagonals is by definition a Jacobi matrix with matrix entries. Transfer matrix techniques are extended in order to develop a rotation number calculation for its eigenvalues. This is a matricial generalization of the oscillation theorem for the discrete analogues of Sturm-Liouville operators. The three universality classes of time reversal invariance are dealt with by implementing the corresponding symmetries. For Jacobi matrices with random matrix entries, this leads to a formula for the integrated density of states which can be calculated perturbatively in the coupling constant of the randomness with an optimal control on the error terms.

Quantum Hilbert matrices and orthogonal polynomials
Using the notion of quantum integers associated with a complex number q 6= 0, we define the quantum Hilbert matrix and various extensions. They are Hankel matrices corresponding to certain little q-Jacobi polynomials when |q| < 1, and for the special value q = (1 − √ 5)/(1 + √ 5) they are closely related to Hankel matrices of reciprocal Fibonacci numbers called Filbert matrices. We find a formu...

In this paper, the concept of generalized spectral function is introduced for finite-order tridiagonal symmetric matrices (Jacobi matrices) with complex entries. The structure of the generalized spectral function is described in terms of spectral data consisting of the eigenvalues and normalizing numbers of the matrix. The inverse problems from generalized spectral function as well as from spec...

We prove that the sequence (1/Fn+2)n≥0 of reciprocals of the Fibonacci numbers is a moment sequence of a certain discrete probability, and we identify the orthogonal polynomials as little q-Jacobi polynomials with q = (1− √ 5)/(1+ √ 5). We prove that the corresponding kernel polynomials have integer coefficients, and from this we deduce that the inverse of the corresponding Hankel matrices (1/F...

متن کاملGeometry of Weyl theory for Jacobi matrices with matrix entries
A Jacobi matrix with matrix entries is a self-adjoint block tridiagonal matrix with invertible blocks on the off-diagonals. The Weyl surface describing the dependence of Green’s matrix on the boundary conditions is interpreted as the set of maximally isotropic subspace of a quadratic from given by the Wronskian. Analysis of the possibly degenerate limit quadratic form leads to the limit point/l...
