The Edmund Landau Minerva Center for Research in Mathematical Analysis and Related Areas

German-Israeli Workshop on Spectral and Scattering Theory

Dates: May 10-14, 1999.

Organizers: M. Ben-Artzi (Jerusalem), M. Demuth (Clausthal).

The workshop brought together 15 German mathematicians and a similar number of Israelis, all working in the area of spectral and scattering theory related to the mathematical formalism of quantum mechanics. In addition, some talks were given by visitors to the Hebrew University, such as Prof. Victor Ivrii (Toronto, Canada), Prof. A. Laptev (Stockholm, Sweden) and Prof. V. Maz'ya (Linkoping, Sweden).

The talks covered a broad spectrum of topics. The main ones were:

Operators with random potentials and Markov operators
(K.T. Strum, M. Demuth, Y. Last, W. Kirsch, M. Klein)
Estimates of Eigenvalues
(V. Ivrii, Y. Pinchover, A. Noll)
Electric and magnetic fields
(J. Nemirovsky, R. Hempel, H. Leschke)
General theory of Schrodinger operators
(V. Maz'ya, A.W. Renger, A. Laptev, R. Nagel)

In addition, there were talks related to the linear underlying theory of pseudodifferential operators with singularities, spectral theory on manifolds, and trees and adiabatic theorems.
