The quantum dynamics of a two-dimensional charged spin $1/2$ particle is studied for general, symmetry--free curved surfaces and general, nonuniform magnetic fields that are, when different from zero, orthogonal to the defining two surface.…
Given a Laplace eigenfunction on a surface, we study the distribution of its extrema on the nodal domains. It is classically known that the absolute value of the eigenfunction is asymptotically bounded by the 4-th root of the eigenvalue. It…
We consider the max-plus analogue of the eigenproblem for matrix pencils Ax=lambda Bx. We show that the spectrum of (A,B) (i.e., the set of possible values of lambda), which is a finite union of intervals, can be computed in…
The properties of singlet fields in supergravity background are discussed. Particularly, it is shown that the ${\cal{O}}(\Lambda^{2})$ contributions to their one-point function lead to novel derivations of effective scales such as the $\mu$…

We treat the eigenvalue problem posed by self-similar potentials, i.e. homogeneous functions under a particular affine transformation, by means of symmetry techniques. We find that the eigenfunctions of such problems are localized, even…
Analyzing the point spectrum, i.e. bound state energy eigenvalue, of the Dirac delta function in two and three dimensions is notoriously difficult without recourse to regularization or renormalization, typically both. The reason for this in…
We study the behaviour of the first eigenfunction of the Dirichlet Laplacian on a planar convex domain near its maximum. We show that the eccentricity and orientation of the superlevel sets of the eigenfunction stabilise as they approach…
Spontaneous symmetry breaking occurs in a system when its Hamiltonian possesses a certain symmetry, whereas the ground state wave functions do not preserve it. This provides such a scenario that a bifurcation, which breaks the symmetry,…
The eigenvalue problem for the dressed bound-state of unstable multilevel systems is examined both outside and inside the continuum, based on the N-level Friedrichs model which describes the couplings between the discrete levels and the…

The paper addresses the doubly elliptic eigenvalue problem $$\begin{cases} -\Delta u=\lambda u \qquad &\text{in $\Omega$,}\\ u=0 &\text{on $\Gamma_0$,}\\ -\Delta_\Gamma u +\partial_\nu u =\lambda u\qquad &\text{on $\Gamma_1$,} \end{cases}…
We revisit the problem posed by an anharmonic oscillator with a potential given by a polynomial function of the coordinate of degree six that depends on a parameter $\lambda $. The ground state can be obtained exactly and its energy…
This paper is mainly concerned with the existence of ground state sign-changing solutions for a class of second order quasilinear elliptic equations in bounded domains which derived from nonlinear optics models. Combining a non-Nehari…
We give a new lower bound for the first gap $\lambda_2 - \lambda_1$ of the Dirichlet eigenvalues of the Schr{\"o}dinger operator on a bounded convex domain $\Omega$ in R$^n$ or S$^n$ and greatly sharpens the previous estimates. The new…
We analyze two-dimensional Schr\"odinger operators with the potential $|xy|^p - \lambda (x^2+y^2)^{p/(p+2)}$ where $p\ge 1$ and $\lambda\ge 0$. We show that there is a critical value of $\lambda$ such that the spectrum for…
