Foundational Tools/Techniques/Ideas:

Ideas:

  • Existence of solutions, and whether or not we can obtain significant spectral information from it.
  • Given existence of solutions, what information its propagation speed can tell us about its spectral properties.

Tools:

  • From the dynamical point-of-view, how to map the transition phases of certain well-known physical models and their generations; see, Anderson localization.
  • Tools from number theory and ergodic theory are often necessary.
