We prove several new results on the absolutely continuous spectra of perturbed one-dimensional Stark operators. First, we find new classes of perturbations, characterized mainly by smoothness conditions, which preserve purely absolutely continuous spectrum. Then we establish stability of the absolutely continuous spectrum in more general situations, where imbedded singular spectrum may occur. We present two kinds of optimal conditions for the stability of absolutely continuous spectrum: decay and smoothness. In the decay direction, we show that a sufficient (in the power scale) condition is |$q$($x$)|≤$C$(1+|$x$|)^{−1/4−ε}; in the smoothness direction, a sufficient condition in Hölder classes is$q$∈$C$^{1/2+ε}($R$). On the other hand, we show that there exist potentials which both satisfy |$q$($x$)|≤$C$(1+|$x$|)^{−1/4}and belong to$C$^{1/2}($R$) for which the spectrum becomes purely singular on the whole real axis, so that the above results are optimal within the scales considered.

In this paper, we first establish an $L^2$-type Dolbeault isomorphism for logarithmic differential forms by H\"{o}rmander's $L^2$-estimates. By using this isomorphism and the construction of smooth Hermitian metrics, we obtain a number of new %Akizuki-Kodaira-Nakano type vanishing theorems for sheaves of logarithmic differential forms on compact K\"ahler manifolds with simple normal crossing divisors, which generalize several classical vanishing theorems, including Norimatsu's vanishing theorem, Gibrau's vanishing theorem, Le Potier's vanishing theorem and a version of the Kawamata-Viehweg vanishing theorem.
