A simple heuristic argument to understand the existence of complex branch points in the $\pi N$ scattering amplitude is presented. It is based on a hypothesis that the singularity structure of the $\pi N$ scattering amplitude is a smooth…

We show that the complex absorbing potential (CAP) method for computing scattering resonances applies to an abstractly defined class of black box perturbations of the Laplacian in $\mathbb{R}^n$ which can be analytically extended from…
It is well known that certain pairs of planar domains have the same spectra of the Laplacian operator. We prove that these domains are still isospectral for a wider class of physical problems, including the cases of heterogeneous drums and…
Let $S(k)$ be the scattering matrix for a Schr\"odinger operator (Laplacian plus potential) on $\RR^n$ with compactly supported smooth potential. It is well known that $S(k)$ is unitary and that the spectrum of $S(k)$ accumulates on the…
Infinitely rising one-dimensional potentials constitute impenetrable barriers which reflect totally any incident wave. However, the scattering by such kind of potentials is not structureless: resonances may occur for certain values of the…

The impedance matrix method is applied to study the scattering of flexural waves propagating in an infinite thin plate containing an $N$-beam resonator. The resonator consists of a circular hole containing a smaller plate connected to the…
We consider the defocusing nonlinear Schr{\"o}dinger equation in several space dimensions, in the presence of an external potential depending on only one space vari-able. This potential is bounded from below, and may grow arbitrarily fast…
In this paper we consider scattering theory on manifolds with special cusp-like metric singularities of warped product type g=dx^2 + x^(-2a)h, where a>0. These metrics form a natural subset in the class of metrics with warped product…
Recent studies of transport phenomena with complex potentials are explained by generic square root singularities of spectrum and eigenfunctions of non-Hermitian Hamiltonians. Using a two channel problem we demonstrate that such…
Many synthetic quantum systems allow particles to have dispersion relations that are neither linear nor quadratic functions. Here, we explore single-particle scattering in general spatial dimension $D\geq 1$ when the density of states…
