For the analysis of the Schr\"odinger and related equations it is of central importance whether a unique continuation principle (UCP) holds or not. In continuum Euclidean space quantitative forms of unique continuation imply Wegner…
It is proven that the absolutely continuous spectrum of matrix Schr\"{o}dinger operators coincides (with the multiplicity taken into account) with the spectrum of the unperturbed operator if the (matrix) potential is square integrable. The…
We consider a family of operators $-\Delta+ t V$ with a slowly decaying and oscillating potential $V$. We prove that the absolutely continuous spectrum of this operator is essentially supported by $[0,\infty)$ for almost every $t$.
We survey results that have been obtained for self-adjoint operators, and especially Schr\"odinger operators, associated with mathematical models of quasicrystals. After presenting general results that hold in arbitrary dimensions, we focus…
We discuss the eigenvalues $E_j$ of Schr\"odinger operators $-\Delta+V$ in $L^2(\mathbb R^d)$ with complex potentials $V\in L^p$, $p<\infty$. We show that (A) $\mathrm{Re} E_j\to\infty$ implies $\mathrm{Im} E_j\to 0$, and (B) $\mathrm{Re}…
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…
For a class of singular potentials, including the Coulomb potential (in three and less dimensions) and $V(x) = g/x^2$ with the coefficient $g$ in a certain range ($x$ being a space coordinate in one or more dimensions), the corresponding…
We prove a regularity result in weighted Sobolev spaces (or Babuska--Kondratiev spaces) for the eigenfunctions of a Schr\"odinger operator. More precisely, let K_{a}^{m}(\mathbb{R}^{3N}) be the weighted Sobolev space obtained by blowing up…
The aim of this paper is to prove a qualitative property, namely the preservation of positivity, for Schr\"odinger-type operators acting on $L^p$ functions defined on (possibly incomplete) Riemannian manifolds. A key assumption is a control…
Given a potential $V$ and the associated Schr\"odinger operator $-\Delta+V$, we consider the problem of providing sharp upper and lower bound on the energy of the operator. It is known that if for example $V$ or $V^{-1}$ enjoys suitable…
We study the resonances of Schr\"odinger operators on the infinite product $X=\mathbb{R}^d\times \mathbb{S}^1$, where $d$ is odd, $\mathbb{S}^1$ is the unit circle, and the potential $V\in L^\infty_c(X)$. This paper shows that at high…
For a real-valued function V from the Faddeev-Marchenko class, we prove the norm resolvent convergence, as \epsilon goes to 0, of a family S_\epsilon of one-dimensional Schr\"odinger operators on the line of the form S_\epsilon:= -D^2 +…
We prove and apply two theorems: First, a quantitative, scale-free unique continuation estimate for functions in a spectral subspace of a Schr\"odinger operator on a bounded or unbounded domain, second, a perturbation and lifting estimate…
We prove new criteria of stability of the absolutely continuous spectrum of one-dimensional Schr\"odinger operators under slowly decaying perturbations. As applications, we show that the absolutely continuous spectrum of the free and…
The aim of this article is to prove a quantitative inequality for the first eigenvalue of a Schr\"odinger operator in the ball. More precisely, we optimize the first eigenvalue $\lambda(V)$ of the operator $\mathcal L_v:=-\Delta-V$ with…
Let $ \mathcal{L} = -\Delta + V $ be a Schr\"odinger operator acting on $ L^2(\mathbb{R}^n) $, where the nonnegative potential $ V $ belongs to the reverse H\"older class $ RH_q $ for some $ q \geq n/2 $. This article is primarily concerned…
In this paper, we investigate the Schr\"odinger equation for a class of spherically symmetric potentials in a simple and unified manner using the Lie algebraic approach within the framework of quasi-exact solvability. We illustrate that all…
With $(X,\mathfrak{d},\mathfrak{m})$ an $\mathrm{RCD}^*(K,N)$ space for some $K\in\mathbf{R}$, $N\in [1,\infty)$, let $H$ be the self-adjoint Laplacian induced by the underlying Cheeger form. Given $\alpha\in [0,1]$ we introduce the…
We prove that the realization $A_p$ in $L^p(\mathbb{R}^N),\,1<p<\infty$, of the Schr\"odinger type operator $A=(1+|x|^{\alpha})\Delta-|x|^{\beta}$ with domain $D(A_p)=\{u\in W^{2,p}(\mathbb{R}^N): Au\in L^p(\mathbb{R}^N)\}$ generates a…
We extend the Feynman-Kac formula for Schr\"odinger type operators on vector bundles over noncompact Riemannian manifolds to possibly very singular potentials that appear in hydrogen like quantum mechanical problems and that need not be…
