✦ Synopsis

We study Harper operators and the closely related discrete magnetic Laplacians (DML) on a graph with a free action of a discrete group, as defined by Sunada [Sun]. A main result in this paper is that the spectral density function of DMLs associated to rational weight functions on graphs with a free action of an amenable discrete group can be approximated by the average spectral density function of the DMLs on a regular exhaustion, with either Dirichlet or Neumann boundary conditions. This then gives a criterion for the existence of gaps in the spectrum of the DML, as well as other interesting spectral properties of such DMLs. The technique used incorporates some results of algebraic number theory.

This paper provides new upper bounds on the spectral radius \ (largest eigenvalue of the adjacency matrix) of graphs embeddable on a given compact surface. Our method is to bound the maximum rowsum in a polynomial of the adjacency matrix, using simple consequences of Euler's formula. Let # denote th

We prove a generalization of the Strong Szego Limit Theorem for Zoll type operators on smooth compact closed manifolds. More precisely, let X be a compact manifold, and let Q : C (X ) Ä C (X) be a self-adjoint first order elliptic 9DO whose spectrum is [1, 2, 3, . . .]. Let A be a zeroth order 9DO o
