Nonself-adjoint, non-dissipative perturbations of possibly unbounded self-adjoint operators with real purely singular spectrum are considered under an additional assumption that the characteristic function of the operator possesses a scalar multiple. Using a functional model of a nonself-adjoint operator (a generalization of a Sz.-Nagy–Foiaş model for dissipative operators) as a principle tool, spectral properties of such operators are investigated. A class of operators with almost Hermitian spectrum (the latter being a part of the real singular spectrum) is characterized in terms of existence of the so-called weak outer annihilator which generalizes the classical Cayley identity to the case of nonself-adjoint operators in Hilbert space. A similar result is proved in the self-adjoint case, characterizing the condition of absence of the absolutely continuous spectral subspace in terms of the existence of weak outer annihilation. An application to the rank-one nonself-adjoint Friedrichs model is given.

Suppose$μ$is a positive measure on $\mathbb{R}^{2}$ given by$μ$=$ν$×$λ$, where$ν$and$λ$are Radon measures on $\mathcal{S}^{1}$ and $\mathbb{R}^{{\mathchoice {\raise .17ex\hbox {$\scriptstyle +$}} {\raise .17ex\hbox {$\scriptstyle +$}} {\raise .1ex\hbox {$\scriptscriptstyle +$}} {\scriptscriptstyle +}}}$ , respectively, which do not vanish on any open interval. We prove that if for either$ν$or$λ$there exists a set of positive measure$A$in its domain for which the upper and lower$s$-densities, 0<$s$≤1, are positive and finite for every$x$∈$A$then the uncentered Hardy–Littlewood maximal operator$M$_{$μ$}is weak-type (1,1) if and only if$ν$is doubling and$λ$is doubling away from the origin. This generalizes results of Vargas concerning rotation-invariant measures on $\mathbb{R}^{n}$ when$n$=2.

We compute certain open Gromov-Witten invariants for toric Calabi-Yau threefolds. The proof relies on a relation for ordinary Gromov-Witten invariants for threefolds under certain birational transformation, and a recent result of Kwokwai Chan.
