From crystals to Dirac operators-spectral theory

 

Abstract: We consider constant coefficient first–order partial differential systems, homogeneous and non–homogeneous, and their potential perturbations. It is assumed that the homogeneous part is strongly propagative. In the nonhomegeneous case it is assumed that the operator is isotropic . The spectral theory of such systems and their potential perturbations is expounded, and a Limiting Absorption Principle is obtained up to thresholds. Special attention is given to a detailed study of the Dirac (massive and massless) and Maxwell operators. The estimates of the spectral derivative near the thresholds are based on trace estimates on the slowness surfaces. Two applications of these estimates are presented: 1) Global spacetime estimates of the associated evolution unitary groups, that are also commonly viewed as decay estimates. While analogous estimates exist for the Dirac operator, our decay estimates for the Maxwell system are completely new. 2) The finiteness of the eigenvalues (in the spectral gap) of the perturbed Dirac operator is studied, under suitable decay assumptions on the potential perturbation. This is a joint work with T. Umeda.

The role of curvature in frame theory

 

Abstract: We are going to discuss the question of the existence of Fourier bases and frames in a variety of Hilbert spaces. We are going to exhibit a class of measures where the corresponding Hilbert space does not possess a frame of exponentials. We are going to discuss the connection between this problem and a variety of questions in geometric measure there.

Optimal transport and geometric optics

 

The classical Fermat principle of least time forms the foundation of geometric optics. We introduce a new principle, that we call the Weighted Least Action Principle, that generalizes the Fermat principle, and moreover deals with measurable quantities. We then show that the new principle is equivalent to the Monge optimal transport problem for a specific cost function. Moreover, we argue that all critical points of the Monge functional are optically relevant. The theoretical analysis is accompanied with experimental results that demonstrate its applicability. Joint work with Gershon Wolansky.
