Singular Integrals, Rank One Perturbations and Clark Model in General Situation

Abstract

Abstract. We start with considering rank one self-adjoint perturbations Aα = A+α( · , ϕ)ϕ with cyclic vector ϕ ∈ H on a separable Hilbert space H. The spectral representation of the perturbed operator Aα is realized by a (unitary) operator of a special type: the Hilbert transform in the two-weight setting, the weights being spectral measures of the operators A and Aα.Similar results will be presented for unitary rank one perturbations of unitary operators, leading to singular integral operators on the circle.This motivates the study of abstract singular integral operators, in particular the regularization of such operator in very general settings.Further, starting with contractive rank one perturbations we present the Clark theory for arbitrary spectral measures (i.e. for arbitrary, possibly not inner characteristic functions). We present a description of the Clark operator and its adjoint in the general settings. Singular integral operators, in particular the so-called normalized Cauchy transform again plays a prominent role.Finally, we present a possible way to construct the Clark theory for dissipative rank one perturbations of self-adjoint operators.These lecture notes give an account of the mini-course delivered by the authors, which was centered around [38,39,37]. Unpublished results are restricted to the last part of this manuscript.

Averaged mixed Julia-Fatou type theory with applications to spectral foliation

“…Application to spectral theory. The present endeavor is motivated by the connection between γ-regularity and the related tangential analysis of boundary behavior of Pick functions in [22] and operator perturbation theory, particularly in the the work of Liaw and Treil [11,12,13]. For a self-adjoint operator A on a separable Hilbert space H, one can define the function…”

Rank-one perturbations and Anderson-type Hamiltonians

“…This relationship is frequently used to learn about the spectral properties of the operator under investigation. The connection between operator theory and the Cauchy transform and the spectral theory of rank one perturbations is particularly well developed [7,17,19,18,24]. This connection is one of our major ingredients.…”

“…In fact, the problem of rank one perturbations has connections to many interesting topics in analysis, such as model theory including deBranges-Rovnyak and Sz.-Nagy-Foiaş model spaces [7,17,19], Nehari interpolation [24], Carleson embeddings [5], singular integral operators [18], and truncated Toeplitz operators [4].…”
