  INI Workshop - Spectral Theory and its Applications
Spectral Theory is a vast area of research bringing together different parts of Mathematics and Physics.
In Mathematics it is Spectral Geometry, which links spectral properties of elliptic operators and related properties of parabolic operators to the geometry and topology of the underlying manifold.
In Physics methods of Spectral Theory are instrumental in the study of many fundamental results in solid states physics, statistical physics, quantum mechanics and large particle systems.

  Spectral theory - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In mathematics, spectral theory is an inclusive term for theories extending the eigenvector and eigenvalue theory of a single square matrix.
The original spectral theorem was therefore conceived as a version of the theorem on principal axes of an ellipsoid, in an infinite-dimensional setting.
After Hilbert's initial formulation, the later development of abstract Hilbert space and the spectral theory of a single normal operator on it did very much go in parallel with the requirements of physics; particularly at the hands of von Neumann.

Spectral Thought Theory has its historical roots in the study of the ordinary consciousness and comprehension, viewed holistically, yet addresses such questions as those dealing with the divisibility and control of one consciousness by another.
According to quantum field theory, Josephson junctions generate fields of quantum potentials (consisting of a magnetic vector potential and an electrostatic scalar potential), which in turn modulate the connection between the correlated superconductors or cellular systems.
Spectral patterns of specific frequency associated with nerve firings would impart information to the field, and the field in turn would impose coherence on the ongoing nerve firings.

 Spectral Theory Network   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
The objective of the network is to bring together groups in the UK interested in both pure and applied spectral theory of differential equations, and scientists whose interests lie in the numerical analysis and scientific computations associated with spectral problems, with the goal of producing greater synergy.
These groups represent diverse aspects of spectral theory: both pure and applied, and both direct and inverse.
It is recognised that there are other groups in the UK also working on spectral problems and we have the agreement of most of these to be part of the network.

 Spectral Theory of the Riemann Zeta-Function - Cambridge University Press
This is achieved by the use of standard tools from analysis rather than any heavy machinery, forging a substantial aid for beginners in spectral theory as well.
These ideas are then utilised to unveil a new image of the zeta-function, first perceived by the author, revealing it to be the main gem of a necklace composed of all automorphic L-functions.
In this book, readers will find a detailed account of one of the most fascinating stories in the recent development of number theory, namely the fusion of two main fields in mathematics that were previously studied separately.

The main point of spectral theory is to diagonalize operators.
Our proof is based on spectral theory for bounded normal operators as developed in the course Analysis 2, in particular the notion of integration with respect to a family of spectral projections.

The spectral theory for unbounded self-adjoint operators on a Hilbert space is an indispensable tool for a large number of problems in mathematical physics.
Then we study two versions of the spectral theorem, one on the functional calculus form and the other on multiplication operator form.
Here we shall rely on the spectral theory for bounded self-adjoint operators as developed in the course Analysis 2, in particular the notion of integration with respect to a family of spectral projections.

 OUP: Introduction to Local Spectral Theory: Laursen
Modern local spectral theory is built on the classical spectral theorem, a fundamental result in single-operator theory and Hilbert spaces.
It is highlighted by many characterizations of decomposable operators, and of other related, important classes of operators, as well as an in-depth study of their spectral properties, including identifications of distinguished parts, and results on permanence properties of spectra with respect to several types of similarity.
Also found is a thorough and quite elementary treatment of the modern single- operator duality theory; this theory has many applications, both to general issues of classification and to such celebrated problems as the invariant subspace problems.

Random walks on graphs, expander graphs, clustering, and several other combinatorial aspects of graphs are intimately connected to their spectral properties.

 Workshop on Spectral Theory and Automorphic Forms
In the last 40 years it has been understood that there is a close connection between the spectral theory of hyperbolic manifolds and the theory of L-functions attached to automorphic forms.
One of the most fruitful approaches to the study of statistical properties of zeros of L-functions involves establishing connections with random matrix theory.
The goal of this workshop is to bring together leading researchers in those fields, to introduce young researchers and graduate students to the state of the art results and to give an account of applications of techniques from analytic number theory to problems in analysis.

 Spectral Graph Theory, a book by Fan Chung   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
This monograph is an intertwined tale of eigenvalues and their use in unlocking a thousand secrets about graphs.
The stories will be told --- how the spectrum reveals fundamental properties of a graph, how spectral graph theory links the discrete universe to the continuous one through geometric, analytic and algebraic techniques, and how, through eigenvalues, theory and applications in communications and computer science come together in symbiotic harmony.
Since spectral graph theory has been evolving very rapidly, the above goals can only be partially fulfilled here.

Graph Theory (Graduate Texts in Mathematics) by Reinhard Diestel
Beautifully written and elegantly presented, this book is based on 10 lectures given at the CBMS workshop on spectral graph theory in June 1994 at Fresno State University.
Chung's well-written exposition can be likened to a conversation with a good teacher--one who not only gives you the facts, but tells you what is really going on, why it is worth doing, and how it is related to familiar ideas in other areas.

This condition is reminiscent of the condition on ordinary operators to be (semi)-normal.
Apart from possibly being an interesting question by itself, we may also try to see if the condition to be found here has maybe already arisen in some guise in 2D field theory.
If it really implies a categorified spectral decomposition as in Hecke operator theory, I don’t know yet.

This Research Note addresses several pivotal problems in spectral theory and nonlinear functional analysis in connection with the analysis of the structure of the set of zeroes of a general class of nonlinear operators.
It features the construction of an optimal algebraic/analytic invariant for calculating the Leray-Schauder degree, new methods for solving nonlinear equations in Banach spaces, and general properties of components of solutions sets presented with minimal use of topological tools.
Appealing to a broad audience, Spectral Theory and Nonlinear Functional Analysis contains many important contributions to linear algebra, linear and nonlinear functional analysis, and topology and opens the door for further advances.

Different definitions of spectra have been proposed over the years to characterize the asymptotic behavior of nonautonomous linear systems.
By using an orthogonal change of variables transforming the system to upper triangular form, and the assumption of integral separation for the diagonal of the new triangular system, we justify how popular numerical methods, the so-called continuous QR and SVD approaches, can be used to approximate these spectra.
