We study fractional quantum Hall states with quasihole excitations, on Riemann surfaces of arbitrary genus. For configurations with $m$ quasiholes we construct a vector bundle above the $m$-th symmetric power of the curve so that the fiber…
The spectral and scattering theory for 1-dimensional Dirac operators with mass $m$ and with zero-range interactions are fully investigated. Explicit expressions for the wave operators and for the scattering operator are provided. These new…
The material presented here covers two talks given by the authors at the conference Operator Algebras and Mathematical Physics organised in Bucharest in August 2005. The first one was a review given by J. Kellendonk on the relation between…
We study locally free sheaves of rank two on the projective line over the integers, especially indecomposable ones. Subsequently we apply various concepts of Arakelov geometry to these sheaves. We compute for example the arithmetic Chern…
Scattering theory has been suggested as a convenient method to identify topological phases of matter, in particular of disordered systems for which the Bloch band-theory approach is inapplicable. Here we examine this idea, employing as a…
We study the two-dimensional rotating shallow-water model describing Earth's oceanic layers. It is formally analogue to a Schr\"odinger equation where the tools from topological insulators are relevant. Once regularized at small scale by an…
We deduce Levinson\'{}s theorem in non-relativistic quantum mechanics in one dimension as a sum rule for the spectral density constructed from asymptotic data. We assume a self-adjoint hamiltonian which guarantees completeness; the…
We define the equivariant family index of a family of elliptic operators invariant with respect to the free action of a bundle $\GR$ of Lie groups. If the fibers of $\GR \to B$ are simply-connected solvable, we then compute the Chern…
A two-dimensional analogue of Levinson's theorem for nonrelativistic quantum mechanics is established, which relates the phase shift at threshold(zero momentum) for the $m$th partial wave to the total number of bound states with angular…
Yes it does ! Indeed an extended version of Levinson's theorem is proposed for a system involving complex eigenvalues. The perturbed system corresponds to a realization of the Schroedinger operator with inverse square potential on the…
This paper analyzes the scattering theory for periodic tight-binding Hamiltonians perturbed by a finite range impurity. The classical energy gradient flow is used to construct a conjugate (or dilation) operator to the unperturbed…
We formulate scattering in one dimension due to the coupled Schr\"{o}dinger equation in terms of the $S$ matrix, the unitarity of which leads to constraints on the scattering amplitudes. Levinson's theorem is seen to have the form $\eta(0)…
We give a construction of the second Chern number of a vector bundle over a smooth projective surface by means of adelic transition matrices for the vector bundle. The construction does not use an algebraic $K$-theory and depends on the…
Levinson's theorem for the Schr\"{o}dinger equation with a cylindrically symmetric potential in two dimensions is re-established by the Sturm-Liouville theorem. The critical case, where the Schr\"{o}dinger equation has a finite zero-energy…
Explicit formulas for the analytic extensions of the scattering matrix and the time delay of a quasi-one-dimensional discrete Schr\"odinger operator with a potential of finite support are derived. This includes a careful analysis of the…
The Levinson theorem for two-dimensional scattering is generalized for potentials with inverse square singularities. By this theorem, the number of bound states in a given m-th partial wave is related to the phase shift and the singularity…
We develop a formula (Theorem 5.1) which allows to compute top Chern classes of vector bundles on the vanishing locus $V(s)$ of a section of this bundle. This formula particularly applies in the case when $V(s)$ is the union of locally…
In the context of topological insulators, the shallow-water model was recently shown to exhibit an anomalous bulk-edge correspondence. For the model with a boundary, the parameter space involves both longitudinal momentum and boundary…
