Attractive interaction between fermions can lead to pairing and superfluidity in an optical lattice. In contrast to the `continuum', on a lattice the trap induced density variation can generate a non monotonic profile of the pairing…

We formulate a new quasi-Hermitian delta-shell pseudopotential for higher partial wave scattering, and show that any such potential must have an energy-dependent regularization. The quasi-Hermiticity of the Hamiltonian leads to a complete…
We show that the spacing between eigenvalues of the discrete 1D Hamiltonian with arbitrary potentials which are bounded, and with Dirichlet or Neumann Boundary Conditions is bounded away from zero. We prove an explicit lower bound, given by…
Reciprocity is shown so far only when the scattering potential is either real or parity symmetric complex. We extend this result for parity violating complex potential by considering several explicit examples: (i) we show reciprocity for a…
We study the ground-state of a Fermi gas with short range attrative interactions in one or two dimensions. N fermions are placed in a confining potential, and interact with each other through a negative potential, whose range is larger than…
A flat band is nondispersive and formed under destructive interference. Although flat bands are found in various Hermitian systems, to realize a flat band in non-Hermitian systems is an interesting task. Here, we propose a flat band in a…
