The resolvent function of an operator in a Banach space is defined on an open subset of the complex plane and is holomorphic. It obeys the resolvent equation. A generalization of this equation to Schwartz distributions is defined and a…
We prove a generalization of the well-known theorems by Borg and Hochstadt for periodic self-adjoint Schr\"odinger operators without a spectral gap, respectively, one gap in their spectrum, in the matrix-valued context. Our extension of the…
We study the spatial asymptotics of Green's function for the 1d Schrodinger operator with operator-valued decaying potential. The bounds on the entropy of the spectral measures are obtained. They are used to establish the presence of a.c.…
We introduce the notion of Schr\"odinger integral operators and prove sharp local and global regularity results for these (including propagators for the quantum mechanical harmonic oscillator). Furthermore we introduce general classes of…
The spectrum of the self-adjoint Schr\"odinger operator associated with the Kronig-Penney model on the half-line has a band-gap structure: its absolutely continuous spectrum consists of intervals (bands) separated by gaps. We show that if…
We study the Schr\"odinger operator with a potential given by the sum of the potentials for harmonic oscillator and imaginary cubic oscillator and we focus on its pseudospectral properties. A summary of known results about the operator and…
We show that the Herglotz functions that arise as Weyl-Titchmarsh $m$ functions of one-dimensional Schr\"odinger operators are dense in the space of all Herglotz functions with respect to uniform convergence on compact subsets of the upper…
We consider the Schr\"odinger operator with a periodic potential on a quasi 1D continuous periodic model of armchair nanotubes in $\R^3$ in a uniform magnetic field (with amplitude $B\in \R$), which is parallel to the axis of the nanotube.…
For entire operators and entire operators in the generalized sense, we provide characterizations based on the spectra of their selfadjoint extensions. In order to obtain these spectral characterizations, we discuss the representation of a…
We review recent advances in the spectral theory of Schr\"odinger operators with decaying potentials. The area has seen spectacular progress in the past few years, stimulated by several conjectures stated by Barry Simon starting at the 1994…
The determination of the spectrum of a Schr\"odinger operator is a fundamental problem in mathematical quantum mechanics. We discuss a series of results showing that Schr\"odinger operators can exhibit spectra that are remarkably thin in…
This paper deals with spectral inequalities for one-dimensional Schr\"odinger operators with potentials bounded between two increasing functions (weights). The spectral inequality allows one to estimate the norm of a function with bounded…
In a tight-binding lattice model with $n$ orbitals (single-particle states) per site, Wannier functions are $n$-component vector functions of position that fall off rapidly away from some location, and such that a set of them in some sense…
We discuss the behaviour of the bottom of the spectrum of scalar Schr\"odinger operators under Riemannian coverings of orbifolds. We apply our results to geometrically finite and to conformally compact orbifolds.
Motivated by the analysis of gapped periodic quantum systems in presence of a uniform magnetic field in dimension $d \le 3$, we study the possibility to construct spanning sets of exponentially localized (generalized) Wannier functions for…
We develop a general approach to study three-dimensional Schroedinger operators with confining potentials depending on the distance to a surface. The main idea is to apply parallel coordinates based on the surface but outside its cut locus…
We study the spectrum of random ergodic Schroedinger-type operators in the weak disorder regime. We give upper and lower bounds on how much the spectrum expands at its bottom for very general perturbations. The background operator is…
We discuss discrete one-dimensional Schr\"odinger operators whose potentials are generated by an invertible ergodic transformation of a compact metric space and a continuous real-valued sampling function. We pay particular attention to the…
We consider the Schr\"odinger operator on zigzag graphs with a periodic potential. The spectrum of this operator consists of an absolutely continuous part (intervals separated by gaps) plus an infinite number of eigenvalues with infinite…
We show that formal Schr\"odinger operators with singular potentials from the space W^{-1}_{2,unif}(R) can be naturally defined to give selfadjoint and bounded below operators, which depend continuously in the uniform resolvent sense on the…
