Wigner gave a well-known proof of Kramers degeneracy, for time reversal invariant systems containing an odd number of half-integer spin particles. But Wigner's proof relies on the assumption that the Hamiltonian has an eigenvector, and thus…
Kramers degeneracy theorem is one of the basic results in quantum mechanics. According to it, the time-reversal symmetry makes each energy level of a half-integer spin system at least doubly degenerate, meaning the absence of transitions or…
We consider an electron, spin 1/2, minimally coupled to the quantized radiation field in the nonrelativistic approximation, a situation defined by the Pauli-Fierz Hamiltonian $H$. There is no external potential and $H$ fibers according to…

Certain Hamiltonians based on two coupled quantum mechanical spins exhibit degenerate eigenvalues despite having no obvious non-abelian symmetries. Operators acting to permute the degenerate states do not have a simple form when expressed…
We consider Hamiltonians of models describing non-relativistic quantum mechanical matter coupled to a relativistic field of bosons. If the free Hamiltonian has an eigenvalue, we show that this eigenvalue persists also for nonzero coupling.…
For ordinary hermitian Hamiltonians, the states show the Kramers degeneracy when the system has a half-odd-integer spin and the time reversal operator obeys \Theta^2=-1, but no such a degeneracy exists when \Theta^2=+1. Here we point out…
The quantum mechanics of a spin 1/2 particle on a locally spatial constant curvature part of a (2+1)- spacetime in the presence of a constant magnetic field of a magnetic monopole has been investigated. It has been shown that these…
The spinless semi-relativistic Pauli-Fierz Hamiltonian $H$ in quantum electrodynamics is considered. The self-adjointness and essential self-adjointness of $H$ are shown. It is emphasized that it includes the massless case. Furthermore, the…
In time reversal symmetric systems with half integral spins (or more concretely, systems with an antiunitary symmetry that squares to -1 and commutes with the Hamiltonian) the transmission eigenvalues of the scattering matrix come in pairs.…
We study multi-hadron systems with a single heavy quark (charm or bottom) in the limit of heavy quark mass. The spin degeneracy of the states with quantum numbers $(j+1/2)^{P}$ and $(j-1/2)^{P}$ for $j \neq 0$, known in a normal hadron, can…
Quantum ergodicity, which expresses the semiclassical convergence of almost all expectation values of observables in eigenstates of the quantum Hamiltonian to the corresponding classical microcanonical average, is proven for…
The Bohr-Sommerfeld rule for a spin system is obtained, including the first quantum corrections. The rule applies to both integer and half-integer spin, and respects Kramers degeneracy for time-reversal invariant systems. It is tested for…
We give a short proof of Kaledin's theorem on the degeneration of the noncommutative Hodge-to-de Rham spectral sequence. Our approach is based on topological Hochschild homology and the theory of cyclotomic spectra. As a consequence, we…
In this work we use magnetic deflection of V, Nb, and Ta atomic clusters to measure their magnetic moments. While only a few of the clusters show weak magnetism, all odd-numbered clusters deflect due to the presence of a single unpaired…
Kramers' theorem ensures double degeneracy in the energy spectrum of a time-reversal symmetric fermionic system with half-integer total spin. Here we are now trying to go beyond the closed system and discuss Kramers' degeneracy in open…
Generalized Pauli-Fierz Hamiltonian with Kato-class potential $\KPF$ in nonrelativistic quantum electrodynamics is defined and studied by a path measure. $\KPF$ is defined as the self-adjoint generator of a strongly continuous one-parameter…
We give a proof of the KAM theorem on the existence of invariant tori for weakly perturbed Hamiltonian systems, based on Thirring's approach for Hamiltonians that are quadratic in the action variables. The main point of this approach is…
The theory of non-Hermitian systems and the theory of quantum deformations have attracted a great deal of attention in the past decades. In general, non-Hermitian Hamiltonians are constructed by an ad hoc manner. Here, we study the (2+1)…
We consider a Hamiltonian systems which is invariant under a one-parameter unitary group. We give a criterion for the stability and instability of bound states for the degenerate case. We apply our theorem to the single power nonlinear…
