Let $\Omega\subset\mathbb{R}^n$ be a strictly convex domain with smooth boundary and diameter $D$. The fundamental gap conjecture claims that if $V:\bar\Omega\to\mathbb{R}$ is convex, then the spectral gap of the Schr\"odinger operator…

We prove sharp lower bounds on the spectral gap of 1-dimensional Schr\"odinger operators with Robin boundary conditions for each value of the Robin parameter. In particular, our lower bounds apply to single-well potentials with a centered…

We consider the difference $f(-\Delta +V)-f(-\Delta)$ of functions of Schr\"odinger operators in $L^2(\mathbb R^d)$ and provide conditions under which this difference is trace class. We are particularly interested in non-smooth functions…

We consider the discrete eigenvalues of the operator $H_\eps=-\Delta+V(\x)+\eps^2Q(\eps\x)$, where $V(\x)$ is periodic and $Q(\y)$ is localized on $\R^d,\ \ d\ge1$. For $\eps>0$ and sufficiently small, discrete eigenvalues may bifurcate…

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…

We consider Schr\"odinger operators with periodic potentials on periodic discrete graphs. Their spectrum consists of a finite number of bands. We obtain two-sided estimates of the total bandwidth for the Schr\"odinger operators in terms of…

We consider a Schr\"odinger operator $H=-\Delta+V(\vec x)$ in dimension two with a quasi-periodic potential $V(\vec x)$. We prove that the absolutely continuous spectrum of $H$ contains a semiaxis and there is a family of generalized…

We consider a discrete Schroedinger operator whose potential is the sum of a Wigner-von Neumann term and a summable term. The essential spectrum of this operator equals to the interval [-2,2]. Inside this interval, there are two critical…

We consider selfadjoint operators obtained by pasting a finite number of boundary relations with one-dimensional boundary space. A typical example of such an operator is the Schr\"odinger operator on a star-graph with a finite number of…

We survey results concerning the spectral properties of limit-periodic operators. The main focus is on discrete one-dimensional Schr\"odinger operators, but other classes of operators, such as Jacobi and CMV matrices, continuum…

For the Schr\"odinger operator $-\Delta_\rm{g}+V$ on a complete Riemannian manifold with real valued potential $V$ of compact support, we establish a sharp equivalence between Sobolev regularity of $V$ and the existence of finite-order…

We prove, via an elementary variational method, 1d and 2d localization within the band gaps of a periodic Schrodinger operator for any mostly negative or mostly positive defect potential, V, whose depth is not too great compared to the size…

We analyze properties of semigroups generated by Schr\"odinger operators $-\Delta+V$ or polyharmonic operators $-(-\Delta)^m$, on metric graphs both on $L^p$-spaces and spaces of continuous functions. In the case of spatially constant…
