    AN ANALYTIC VERSION OF THE LANGLANDS CORRESPONDENCE FOR COMPLEX CURVES PAVEL ETINGOF, EDWARD FRENKEL, AND DAVID KAZHDAN In memory of Boris Dubrovin Abstract. The Langlands correspondence for complex curves is traditionally for- mulated in terms of sheaves rather than functions. Recently, Langlands asked whether it is possible to construct a function-theoretic version. In this paper we use the algebra of commuting global differential operators (quantum Hitchin Hamilto- nians and their complex conjugates) on the moduli space of G-bundles of a complex algebraic curve to formulate a function-theoretic correspondence. We conjecture the existence of a canonical self-adjoint extension of the symmetric part of this al- gebra acting on an appropriate Hilbert space and link its spectrum with the set of opers for the Langlands dual group of G satisfying a certain reality condition, as predicted earlier by Teschner. We prove this conjecture for G = GL1 and in the simplest non-abelian case. Contents 1. Introduction 2 Part I 8 2. Differential operators on line bundles 8 3. Differential operators on BunG 11 4.

    CONNES’ INTEGRATION AND WEYL’S LAWS RAPHAEL¨ PONGE Abstract. This paper deal with some questions regarding the notion of integral in the frame- work of Connes’s noncommutative geometry. First, we present a purely spectral theoretic con- struction of Connes’ integral. This answers a question of Alain Connes. We also deal with the compatibility of Dixmier traces with Lebesgue’s integral. This answers another question of Alain Connes. We further clarify the relationship of Connes’ integration with Weyl’s laws for compact operators and Birman-Solomyak’s perturbation theory. We also give a ”soft proof” of Birman-Solomyak’s Weyl’s law for negative order pseudodifferential operators on closed mani- fold. This Weyl’s law yields a stronger form of Connes’ trace theorem. Finally, we explain the relationship between Connes’ integral and semiclassical Weyl’s law for Schr¨odinger operators. This is an easy consequence of the Birman-Schwinger principle. We thus get a neat link between noncommutative geometry and semiclassical analysis. 1. Introduction The quantized calculus of Connes [18] aims at translating the main tools of the classical infin- itesimal calculus into the operator theoretic language of quantum mechanics. As an Ansatz the integral in this setup should be a positive trace on the weak trace class L1,∞ (see Section 2). Natural choices are given by the traces Trω of Dixmier [23] (see also [18, 34] and Section 2). These traces are associated with extended limits. Following Connes [18] we say that an operator A L is measurable when the value of Tr (A) is independent of the extended limit.

  • WEYL's LAW on RIEMANNIAN MANIFOLDS Contents 1. the Role of Weyl's Law in the Ultraviolet Catastrophe 1 2. Riemannian Manifol
    WEYL'S LAW ON RIEMANNIAN MANIFOLDS SETH MUSSER Abstract. We motivate Weyl's law by demonstrating the relevance of the distribution of eigenvalues of the Laplacian to the ultraviolet catastrophe of physics. We then introduce Riemannian geometry, define the Laplacian on a general Riemannian manifold, and find geometric analogs of various concepts in Rn, along the way using S2 as a clarifying example. Finally, we use analogy with Rn and the results we have built up to prove Weyl's law, making sure at each step to demonstrate the physical significance of any major ideas. Contents 1.

The Role of Weyl's Law in the Ultraviolet Catastrophe In the year 1900 Lord Rayleigh used the equipartition theorem of thermodynamics to de- duce the famous Rayleigh-Jeans law of radiation. Rayleigh began with an idealized physical concept of the blackbody; a body which is a perfect absorber of electromagnetic radiation and which radiates all the energy it absorbs independent of spatial direction. We sketch his proof to find the amount of radiation energy emitted by the blackbody at a given frequency. Take a blackbody in the shape of a cube for definiteness, and assume it is made of con- ducting material and is at a temperature T . We will denote the cube by D = [0;L]3 ⊆ R3. Inside this cube we have electromagnetic radiation that obeys Maxwell's equations bouncing around. The equipartition theorem of thermodynamics says that every wave which has con- stant spatial structure with oscillating amplitude, i.e.

  • Scalar Curvature for Noncommutative Four-Tori
    SCALAR CURVATURE FOR NONCOMMUTATIVE FOUR-TORI FARZAD FATHIZADEH AND MASOUD KHALKHALI Abstract. In this paper we study the curved geometry of noncommutative 4 4-tori Tθ. We use a Weyl conformal factor to perturb the standard volume form and obtain the Laplacian that encodes the local geometric information. We use Connes' pseudodifferential calculus to explicitly compute the terms in the small time heat kernel expansion of the perturbed Laplacian which corre- 4 spond to the volume and scalar curvature of Tθ. We establish the analogue of Weyl's law, define a noncommutative residue, prove the analogue of Connes' trace theorem, and find explicit formulas for the local functions that describe 4 the scalar curvature of Tθ. We also study the analogue of the Einstein-Hilbert action for these spaces and show that metrics with constant scalar curvature are critical for this action. Contents 1. Introduction 1 2.

  • The Absolutely Continuous Spectrum of the Almost Mathieu Operator
    THE ABSOLUTELY CONTINUOUS SPECTRUM OF THE ALMOST MATHIEU OPERATOR ARTUR AVILA Abstract. We prove that the spectrum of the almost Mathieu operator is absolutely continuous if and only if the coupling is subcritical. This settles Problem 6 of Barry Simon’s list of Schr¨odinger operator problems for the twenty-first century. 1. Introduction This work is concerned with the almost Mathieu operator H = Hλ,α,θ defined on ℓ2(Z) (1.1) (Hu)n = un+1 + un−1 +2λ cos(2π[θ + nα])un where λ = 0 is the coupling, α R Q is the frequency and θ R is the phase. This is the6 most studied quasiperiodic∈ \ Schr¨odinger operator, arisin∈ g naturally as a physical model (see [L3] for a recent historical account and for the physics back- ground). We are interested in the decomposition of the spectral measures in atomic (corre- sponding to point spectrum), singular continuous and absolutely continuous parts. Our main result is the following. Main Theorem. The spectral measures of the almost Mathieu operator are abso- lutely continuous if and only if λ < 1. | | 1.1. Background.

  • Location and Weyl Formula for the Eigenvalues of Some Non Self-Adjoint Operators
    Location and Weyl formula for the eigenvalues of some non self-adjoint operators Vesselin Petkov Abstract We present a survey of some recent results concerning the location and the Weyl formula for the complex eigenvalues of two non self-adjoint operators. We study the eigenvalues of the generator G of the contraction semigroup etG, t ≥ 0, related to the wave equation in an unbounded domain Ω with dissipative boundary conditions on ∂Ω. Also one examines the interior transmission eigenvalues (ITE) in a bounded domain K obtaining a Weyl formula with remainder for the counting function N(r) of complex (ITE). The analysis is based on a semi-classical approach. 1 Introduction ∞ Let P(x,Dx) be a second order differential operator with C (K) real-valued coef- d ficients in a bounded domain K ⊂ R , d ≥ 2, with C∞ boundary ∂K. Consider a boundary problem ( P(x,D )u = f in K, x (1.1) B(x,Dx)u = g on ∂K, where B(x,Dx) is a differential operator with order less or equal to 1 and the princi- 2 pal symbol P(x,ξ) of P(x,Dx) satisfies p(x,ξ) ≥ c0|ξ| , c0 > 0. Assume that there exists 0 < ϕ < π such that the problem ( (P(x,D ) − z)u = f in K, x (1.2) B(x,Dx)u = g on ∂K. is parameter-elliptic for every z ∈ Γψ = {z : argz = ψ}, 0 < |ψ| ≤ ϕ.

The material presented here corresponds to a 24 hours course taught in Toulouse in 2012 and 2013. We introduce all tools required to give a complete proof of the Weyl law, mainly the semiclassical pseudo-differential calculus, and then of course prove it! The price to pay is that we avoid presenting many classical concepts or results which are not necessary for our purpose (such as Borel summations, principal symbols, invariance by diffeomorphism or the G˚ardinginequality).

  • Semi-Classical Analysis and Harper's Equation –An Introduction
    Semi-classical analysis and Harper's equation {An introduction{ Crash course1 at Tsinghua University Bernard Helffer Universit´ede Nantes and CNRS Laboratoire de Math´ematique J. Leray. 44322 Nantes Cedex, France November 9, 2018 1The author was kindly invited by YanHui Qu Abstract Since the description in 1976 of the beautiful butterfly by the physicist Hofstadter interpreted as the spectra of a family of operators (called almost Mathieu or Harper's operator) parametrized by some flux, a huge literature has been written for understanding the properties of these spectra. After a presentation of the subject, these lectures will be devoted to the description of the results of Helffer-Sj¨ostrand(at the end of the eighties) based on an illuminating strategy proposed by the physicist M. Wilkinson in 1985. This leads to the proof of the Cantor structure of the spectrum for the Harper model for a some specific family of irrational fluxes (characterized on its expansion in continuous fractions). This was a very particular case of the ten Martinis conjecture of M. Kac popularized by B. Simon and which was finally proved in (2009) by A. Avila, S. Jitomirskaya and coauthors for any irrational. The goal is to explain how semi-classical analysis appears in the analysis of this problem. The analysis of the spectrum of the Harper's model can indeed be done for some fluxes by semi-classical analysis and in this case can give a more precise information on the spectrum than simply its Cantor structure. If it seems to be impossible in these lectures to give a complete proof of the results (the use of the FBI techniques mainly due to J.

  • Equilibrium Measures and Capacities in Spectral Theory
    EQUILIBRIUM MEASURES AND CAPACITIES IN SPECTRAL THEORY BARRY SIMON∗ Abstract. This is a comprehensive review of the uses of potential theory in studying the spectral theory of orthogonal polynomials. Much of the article focuses on the Stahl–Totik theory of regular measures, especially the case of OPRL and OPUC. Links are made to the study of ergodic Schr¨odinger operators where one of our new results implies that, in complete generality, the spectral measure is supported on a set of zero Hausdorff dimension (indeed, of capacity zero) in the region of strictly positive Lyapunov exponent. There are many examples and some new conjectures and indications of new research directions. Included are appendices on potential the- ory and on Fekete–Szeg˝otheory. 1. Introduction This paper deals with applications of potential theory to spectral and inverse spectral theory, mainly to orthogonal polynomials especially on the real line (OPRL) and unit circle (OPUC). This is an area that has traditionally impacted both the orthogonal polynomial community and the spectral theory community with insufficient interrelation. The OP approach emphasizes the procedure of going from measure to recursion parameters, that is, the inverse spectral problem, while spectral theo- rists tend to start with recursion parameters and so work with direct spectral theory. Potential theory ideas in the orthogonal polynomial community go back at least to a deep 1919 paper of Faber [35] and a seminal 1924 paper of Szeg˝o[107] with critical later developments of Kalm´ar [63] and Date: August 23, 2007. 2000 Mathematics Subject Classification.

  • Spectral Decimation of a Self-Similar Version of Almost Mathieu-Type Operators
    SPECTRAL DECIMATION OF A SELF-SIMILAR VERSION OF ALMOST MATHIEU-TYPE OPERATORS RADHAKRISHNAN BALU, GAMAL MOGRABY, KASSO A. OKOUDJOU, AND ALEXANDER TEPLYAEV Abstract. We introduce self-similar versions of the one-dimensional almost Mathieu operators. Our defi- nition is based on a class of self-similar Laplacians instead of the standard discrete Laplacian, and includes the classical almost Mathieu operators as a particular case. Our main result establishes that the spectra of these self-similar almost Mathieu operators can be completely described by the spectra of the corresponding self-similar Laplacians through the spectral decimation framework used in the context of spectral analysis on fractals. In addition, the self-similar structure of our model provides a natural finite graph approximation model. This approximation is not only helpful in executing the numerical simulation, but is also useful in finding the spectral decimation function via Schur complement computations of given finite-dimensional matrices. The self-similar Laplacians used in our model were considered recently by Chen and Teplyaev [23] who proved the emergence of singularly continuous spectra for specific parameters. We use this result to arrive at similar conclusions in the context of the self-similar almost Mathieu operators. Finally, we derive an explicit formula of the integrated density of states of the self-similar almost Mathieu operators as the weighted pre-images of the balanced invariant measure on a specific Julia set.
