Abstract. We provide necessary and sufficient conditions for a Jacobi matrix to produce orthogonal polynomials with Szegő asymptotics off the real axis. A key idea is to prove the equivalence of Szegő asymptotics and of Jost asymptotics for the Jost solution. We also prove L2 convergence of Szegő asymptotics on the spectrum. 1.

We revisit the computation of (2-modified) Fredholm determinants for operators with matrix-valued semi-separable integral kernels. The latter occur, for instance, in the form of Green’s functions associated with closed ordinary differential operators on arbitrary intervals on the real line. Our approach determines the (2-modified) Fredholm determinants in terms of solutions of closely associated Volterra integral equations, and as a result offers a natural way to compute such determinants. We illustrate our approach by identifying classical objects such as the Jost function for half-line Schrödinger operators and the inverse transmission coefficient for Schrödinger operators on the real line as Fredholm determinants, and rederiving the well-known expressions for them in due course. We also apply our formalism to Floquet theory of Schrödinger operators, and upon identifying the connection between the Floquet discriminant and underlying Fredholm determinants, we derive new representations of the Floquet discriminant. Finally, we rederive the explicit formula for the 2-modified Fredholm determinant corresponding to a convolution integral operator, whose kernel is associated with a symbol given by a rational function, in a straghtforward manner. This determinant formula represents a Wiener–Hopf analog of Day’s formula for the determinant associated with finite Toeplitz matrices generated by the Laurent expansion of a rational function.

We consider the Schrodinger operator f + qf in L (R), with a real compactly supported potential q. We give the solution of two inverse problems (including characterization) : q ! f zeros of the reection coecient g and q ! f bound states and resonances g. We describe the set of "isoresonance potentials", i.e., we obtain all potentials with the same resonances and bound states.

Abstract. Continuing a line of investigation initiated in [11] exploring the connections between Jost and Evans functions and (modified) Fredholm determinants of Birman–Schwinger type integral operators, we here examine the stability index, or sign of the first nonvanishing derivative at frequency zero of the characteristic determinant, an object that has found considerable use in the study by Evans function techniques of stability of standing and traveling wave solutions of partial differential equations (PDE) in one dimension. This leads us to the derivation of general perturbation expansions for analytically-varying modified Fredholm determinants of abstract operators. Our main conclusion, similarly in the analysis of the determinant itself, is that the derivative of the characteristic Fredholm determinant may be efficiently computed from first principles for integral operators with semi-separable integral kernels, which include in particular the general one-dimensional case, and for sums thereof, which latter possibility appears to offer applications in the multi-dimensional case. A second main result is to show that the multi-dimensional characteristic Fredholm determinant is the renormalized limit of a sequence of Evans functions defined in [23] on successive Galerkin subspaces, giving a natural extension of the one-dimensional results of [11] and answering a question of [27] whether this sequence might possibly converge (in general, no, but with renormalization, yes). Convergence is useful in practice for numerical error control and acceleration. 1.

Abstract. In dimension d ≥ 3, we give examples of nontrivial, compactly supported, complex-valued potentials such that the associated Schrödinger operators have no resonances. If d = 2, we show that there are potentials with no resonances away from the origin. These Schrödinger operators are isophasal and have the same scattering phase as the Laplacian on R d. In odd dimensions d ≥ 3 we study the fundamental solution of the wave equation perturbed by such a potential. If the space variables are held fixed, it is super-exponentially decaying in time. 1.

Abstract. We study resonances associated to Schrödinger operators with compactly supported potentials on R d, d ≥ 3, odd. We consider compactly supported potentials depending holomorphically on a parameter z ∈ C m. For certain such families, for all z except those in a pluripolar set, the associated resonance-counting function has order of growth d. 1.

We illustrate the utility of the general theory developed in [13, 14] by applying it to two physically interesting test cases: the linear Schrödinger operator and the linearization associated with the integrable non-linear Schrödinger equation. 1.

Abstract. We investigate trace formulas for one-dimensional Schrödinger operators which are trace class perturbations of quasi-periodic finite-gap operators using Krein’s spectral shift theory. In particular, we establish the conserved quantities for the solutions of the Korteweg–de Vries hierarchy in this class and relate them to the reflection coefficients via Abelian integrals on the underlying hyperelliptic Riemann surface. 1.
