Perturbation theory for normal operators

Let $E \ni x\mapsto A(x)$ be a $\mathscr{C}$-mapping with values unbounded normal operators with common domain of definition and compact resolvent. Here $\mathscr{C}$ stands for $C^\infty$, $C^\omega$ (real analytic), $C^{[M]}$ (Denjoy--Carleman of Beurling or Roumieu type), $C^{0,1}$ (locally Lipschitz), or $C^{k,\alpha}$. The parameter domain $E$ is either $\mathbb R$ or $\mathbb R^n$ or an infinite dimensional convenient vector space. We completely describe the $\mathscr{C}$-dependence on $x$ of the eigenvalues and the eigenvectors of $A(x)$. Thereby we extend previously known results for self-adjoint operators to normal operators, partly improve them, and show that they are best possible. For normal matrices $A(x)$ we obtain partly stronger results.Comment: 32 pages, Remark 7.5 on m-sectorial operators added, accepted for publication in Trans. Amer. Math. So

Choosing roots of polynomials with symmetries smoothly

The roots of a smooth curve of hyperbolic polynomials may not in general be parameterized smoothly, even not $C^{1,\alpha}$ for any $\alpha > 0$. A sufficient condition for the existence of a smooth parameterization is that no two of the increasingly ordered continuous roots meet of infinite order. We give refined sufficient conditions for smooth solvability if the polynomials have certain symmetries. In general a $C^{3n}$ curve of hyperbolic polynomials of degree $n$ admits twice differentiable parameterizations of its roots. If the polynomials have certain symmetries we are able to weaken the assumptions in that statement.Comment: 19 pages, 2 figures, LaTe

On the Borel mapping in the quasianalytic setting

The Borel mapping takes germs at $0$ of smooth functions to the sequence of iterated partial derivatives at $0$. We prove that the Borel mapping restricted to the germs of any quasianalytic ultradifferentiable class strictly larger than the real analytic class is never onto the corresponding sequence space.Comment: 14 pages; minor changes, accepted for publication in Math.
