• Group testing, Steiner Systems, and Reed-Solomon Codes., Hagen, 2021–02–18. [URL]
• On a minimax principle in spectral gaps., University of Zagreb, Croatia, April 26, digital.

This talk deals with a minimax principle for eigenvalues in gaps of the essential spectrum of perturbed self-adjoint operators. This builds upon an abstract minimax principle devised by Griesemer, Lewis, and Siedentop and recents developments on block diagonalization of operators and forms in the off-diagonal perturbation setting. The Stokes operator is revisited as an example.

• Eigenvalue Lifting for Divergence-Type Operators., Minisymposium Spectral theory of operators and matrices and partial differential equations, Chemnitz, September 14–17, digital.

This talk deals with eigenvalue lifting for divergence-type operators which describes the phenomenon that certain eigenvalues are strictly increasing when the second order term is perturbed by some non-negative function with small support. Applications include, e.g., the theory of random divergence-type operators. Since here, the random perturbation affects the coefficients of the second order term, one needs exact knowledge of the dependence on some parameters which are less relevant when working with additive random potentials. The results discussed build upon recent joint work with Ivan Veselić.

• Anderson localization beyond regular Floquet eigenvalues., Sochi, Russia, February 3–7.

We prove that Anderson localization near band edges of multi-dimensional ergodic random Schrödinger operators with periodic background potential in $L^2(\mathbb{R}^d)$ is universal. By this we mean that Anderson localization holds without extra assumptions on the random variables and independently of regularity or degeneracy of the Floquet eigenvalues of the background operator. The main novelty is an initial scale estimate the proof of which avoids Floquet theory altogether and uses instead an interplay between quantitative unique continuation and large deviation estimates. This talk is based on joint work with M. Täufer.

• Unique continuation for the gradient and applications., TU Dresden, December 5.
• Wegner estimates for random divergence-type operators., TU Chemnitz, December 4.
• The reflection principle in the control problem of the heat equation., Sveti Martin na Muri, Croatia, September 8–13.

We consider the control problem for the generalized heat equation for a Schrödinger operator on a domain with a reflection symmetry with respect to a hyperplane. We show that if this system is null-controllable, then so is the system on its respective parts. Moreover, we show that the corresponding control cost does not exceed the one on the whole domain. This talk is based on joint work with M. Egidi.

• Unique continuation for the gradient and applications., Sveti Martin na Muri, Croatia, September 8–13, poster.

We present a unique continuation estimate for the gradient of eigenfunctions of $H = −\mathrm{div}A\nabla$, where $A(x)$ is a symmetric, uniformly elliptic matrix. This allows us to derive a Wegner estimate for random divergence type operators of the form $H_\omega = −\mathrm{div}(1 + V_\omega )\mathrm{Id}\nabla$. Here $V_\omega$ is some appropriately chosen, non-negative random field with small support.

• Zufällige Divergenz-Typ Operatoren., TU Dortmund, May 21.

• The reflection principle in the control problem of the heat equation., Minisymposium Control of Partial Differential Equations, Gaeta, Italy, May 20–24.

We consider the control problem for the generalized heat equation for a Schrodinger operator on a domain with a reflection symmetry with respect to a hyperplane. We show that if this system is null-controllable, then so is the system on its respective parts. Moreover, we show that the corresponding control cost does not exceed the one on the whole domain. This talk is based on joint work with M. Egidi.

• A minimax principle in spectral gaps., TU Hamburg-Harburg, June 28.

In [Doc. Math. 4 (1999),275--283], Griesemer, Lewis, and Siedentop devised an abstract minimax principle for eigenvalues in spectral gaps of perturbed self-adjoint operators. We show that this minimax principle can be adapted to the particular situation of bounded additive perturbations with hypotheses that are easier to check in this case. The latter is demonstrated in the framework of the Davis-Kahan $\sin2\Theta$ theorem. This talked is based on joint work with I. Nakić, M. Täufer, M. Tautenhahn, and I. Veselić.

• A critical example in the subspace perturbation problem., Trier, September 25–29.

The variation of closed subspaces associated with isolated components of the spectrum of linear self-adjoint operators under a bounded off-diagonal perturbation is considered. This is studied in terms of the difference of the corresponding orthogonal projections. Although the situation is quite well understood under certain additional assumptions on the spectrum of the unperturbed operator, the general case still poses a lot of unsolved questions. We discuss a finite dimensional example indicating that the general case indeed has a different nature than the situation with the additional spectral assumptions.

• On the subspace perturbation problem., Opatija, Croatia, September 10–15.

The variation of closed subspaces associated with isolated components of the spectra of linear self-adjoint operators under a bounded additive perturbation is considered. Of particular interest is the least restrictive condition on the norm of the perturbation that guarantees that the maximal angle between the corresponding subspaces is less than $\pi/2$. This problem has been discussed by different authors and is still unsolved in full generality. We give a survey on the most common approaches and recent developments.

• Invariant graph subspaces and block diagonalization. Oberseminar Angewandte Analysis und Mathematische Physik, LMU München, July 26.

The problem of decomposition for unbounded self-adjoint $2\times 2$ block operator matrices by a pair of orthogonal graph subspaces is discussed. As a byproduct of our consideration, a new block diagonalization procedure is suggested that resolves related domain issues. The results are discussed in the context of a two-dimensional Dirac-like Hamiltonian. The talk is based on joint work with Konstantin A. Makarov and Stephan Schmitz.

• On an estimate in the subspace perturbation problem., Bern, Switzerland, October 28–30.

We study the problem of variation of spectral subspaces for linear self-adjoint operators under an additive perturbation. The aim is to find the best possible upper bound on the norm of the difference of two spectral projections associated with isolated parts of the spectrum of the perturbed and unperturbed operators in terms of the strength of the perturbation. In our approach, we formulate a constrained optimization problem on a finite set of parameters, whose solution gives an estimate on the norm of the difference of the corresponding spectral projections. In particular, this estimate is stronger than the one recently obtained by Albeverio and Motovilov in [Complex Anal. Oper. Theory 7 (2013), 1389–1416].

• On an estimate in the subspace perturbation problem., Mainz, September 10–12.

We study the problem of variation of spectral subspaces for linear self-adjoint operators under an additive perturbation. The aim is to find the best possible upper bound on the norm of the difference of two spectral projections associated with isolated parts of the spectrum of the perturbed and unperturbed operators in terms of the strength of the per-turbation. In our approach, we formulate a constrained optimization problem on a finite set of parameters, whose solution gives an estimate on the norm of the difference of the corresponding spectral projections. In particular, this estimate is stronger than the one recently obtained by Albeverio andMotovilov in [arXiv:1112.0149v2 (2011)].
