Harmonic Analysis and Random Schrödinger Operators

Abstract

This survey is based on a series of lectures given during the School on Random Schrödinger Operators and the International Conference on Spectral Theory and Mathematical Physics at the Pontificia Universidad Catolica de Chile, held in Santiago in November 2014. As the title suggests, the presented material has two foci: Harmonic analysis, more precisely, unique continuation properties of several natural function classes and Schrödinger operators, more precisely properties of their eigenvalues, eigenfunctions and solutions of associated differential equations. It mixes topics from (rather) pure to (rather) applied mathematics, as well as classical questions and results dating back a whole century to very recent and even unpublished ones. The selection of material covered is based on the selection made for the minicourse, and is certainly a personal choice corresponding to the research interests of the authors.
