We prove that "almost anti-commuting" matrices are "nearly
anti-commuting" for self-adjoint matrices with respect to a class of
unitarily invariant norms that include the Schatten p-norms.
We discuss d+1 dimensional percolation models with d dimensional
quasiperiodic disorder. A multiscale scheme is introduced which is suited
to the spatial structure of quasiperiodic disorder. In this case we will
show almost sure stretched exponential decay of correlations as compared
to faster than polynomial decay of correlations obtained for similar
models with random disorder. We mention in this case a disorder-rated
transition of phase structure.
This talk will focus on orthogonal polynomials whose corresponding measure of orthogonality is not supported on the real line or unit circle. In this setting, the orthonormal polynomials do not satisfy a three-term recurrence relation. However, many theorems from the classical settings of the real line and unit circle can be reformulated to apply to this more general situation. The first part of this talk will present some history and motivation for studying these polynomials and we will conclude by presenting some new results.
We use the Lippmann Schwinger equations to derive a relation between the transfer and
the scattering matrix for a quasi one-dimensonal scattering problem with a periodic background
operator.
If the background operator has hyperbolic channels, then the scattering matrix is of smaller
dimension than the transfer matrix and related to a 'reduced' transfer matrix.
Associated with the standard middle third Cantor set
comes a probability measure known as Cantor measure.
From this measure, we obtain a sequence of orthogonal
polynomials known as Cantor polynomials.
The aim of this talk will be to ask interesting questions
about these and try to answer some.
The continuity of Lyapunov exponent plays an important role for many problems in quasi-periodic cocycles. One example is Ten Martini problem. It is well known that the Lyapunov exponent is continuous in analytic topology and discontinuous in C^0-topology. In this talk, we will provide quasi-periodic cocycles at which the Lyapunov exponent is not continuous in C^l-topology with 0 ≤ l ≤ +∞. This is joint work with Jiangong You.
Discrete quasiperiodic Schrodinger operators have been researched extensively over the past thirty years to produce a rather complete spectral analysis when the potential is defined by analytic functions. However, the nature of the spectral measures for less than $C^\infty$ regularity of the potential is largely unknown. We demonstrate that, with only minimal assumptions on the regularity of the potential, in the regime of positive Lyapunov exponents, the spectral measures are always of
Hausdorff dimension zero.
We demonstarte that in rough quantum billiards, the memory of the initial conditions is governed by a single universal energy-dependent parameter---one of the inverse participation ratios---that governs all functions of the to-be-destroyed integrals of motion as observables and all eigenstates of the to-be-perturbed integrable system as the initial states
In physics, the main objective in spin glasses is to understand
the strange magnetic properties of alloys.
Yet the models invented to explain the observed phenomena are of a rather
fundamental nature in mathematics. In this talk, we will focus on one of the most important mean field
models,
called the Sherrington-Kirkpatrick model,
and discuss its disorder chaos problem. Using Guerra's replica
symmetric-breaking bound, we present a mathematically rigorous proof for this problem.
