A Pairing Formula for Resonant States on Finite Regular Graphs

On a finite regular graph, (co)resonant states are eigendistributions of the transfer operator associated to the shift on one-sided infinite non-backtracking paths. We introduce two natural pairings of resonant and coresonant states and prove that they coincide up to a constant which depends on the resonance. Published in Math. Ann., 2025.

Edge Laplacians and Edge Poisson Transforms for Graphs

For a finite graph, we establish natural isomorphisms between eigenspaces of a Laplace operator acting on functions on the edges and eigenspaces of a transfer operator acting on functions on one-sided infinite non-backtracking paths. Interpreting the transfer operator as a classical dynamical system and the Laplace operator as its quantization, this result can be viewed as a quantum-classical correspondence.

Explicit Hilbert spaces for the unitary dual of rank one orthogonal groups and applications

In this paper we realize all irreducible unitary representations of the group \(\mathrm{SO}_0(n+1,1)\) on explicit Hilbert spaces of vector-valued \(L^2\)-functions on \(\mathbb{R}^n\setminus\{0\}\). Preprint, 2024.

Decomposing large unitaries into multimode devices of arbitrary size

Unitary transformations are the basis of quantum information processing and quantum simulation. Typically these large unitaries are constructed from a decomposition into a collection of smaller \(2\times 2\) unitaries. In this paper we show how for any \(m>2\) this decomposition can be generalized to \(m\times m\) subunitaries. Published in Phys. Rev. Research, 2024.

Spectral Correspondences for Rank One Locally Symmetric Spaces: The Case of Exceptional Parameters

In this paper we complete the program of relating the Laplace spectrum for rank one compact locally symmetric spaces with the first band Ruelle-Pollicott resonances of the geodesic flow on its sphere bundle. Published in JEP, 2023.
