Let $V$ be a {\em periodic} potential on $\RR^3$ that is smooth everywhere except at a discrete set $\maS$ of points, where it has singularities of the form $Z/\rho^2$, with $\rho(x) = |x - p|$ for $x$ close to $p$ and $Z$ is continuous,…

We study the problem of constructing $k$-spectral minimal partitions of domains in $d$ dimensions, where the energy functional to be minimized is a $p$-norm ($1 \le p \le \infty$) of the infimum of the spectrum of a suitable Schr\"odinger…
This paper analyses the periodic spectrum of Schr\"odinger's equation $-f''+qf=\lambda f$ when the potential is real, periodic, random and subject to the invariant measure $\nu_N^\beta$ of the periodic KdV equation. This $\nu_N^\beta$ is…
We study spectra of Schr\"odinger operators on $\RR^d$. First we consider a pair of operators which differ by a compactly supported potential, as well as the corresponding semigroups. We prove almost exponential decay of the singular values…
We study the Dirichlet problem for the weighted Schr\"odinger operator \[-\Delta u +Vu = \lambda \rho u,\] where $\rho$ is a positive weighting function and $V$ is a potential. Such equations appear naturally in conformal geometry and in…
This note is devoted to Keller-Lieb-Thirring spectral estimates for Schr\"odinger operators on infinite cylinders: the absolute value of the ground state level is bounded by a function of a norm of the potential. Optimal potentials with…
We discuss spectral properties of the one-dimensional Schr\"odinger operator with a potential of the form $\sum V(n)\delta(x-n)$. Our main result says that the absolutely continuous spectum of such an operator covers an interval…
Multiparameter maximal estimates are considered for operators of Schr\"odinger type. Sharp and almost sharp results, that extend work by Rogers and Villarroya, are obtained. We provide new estimates via the integrability of the kernel which…
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}…
We study a weighted eigenvalue problem with anisotropic diffusion in bounded Lipschitz domains $\Omega\subset \mathbb{R}^{N} $, $N\ge1$, under Robin boundary conditions, proving the existence of two positive eigenvalues $\lambda^{\pm}$…
This paper is concerned with emptyness of the essential spectrum, or equivalently compactness of the semigroup, for perturbations of selfadjoint operators that are bounded below (on an L^2-space). For perturbations by a (nonnegative)…
We study the problem of minimizing or maximizing the fundamental spectral gap of Schr\"odinger operators on metric graphs with either a convex potential or a ``single-well'' potential on an appropriate specified subset. (In the case of…
We consider the discrete Schr\"odinger operator $H=-\Delta+V$ with a sparse potential $V$ and find conditions guaranteeing either existence of wave operators for the pair $H$ and $H_0=-\Delta$, or presence of dense purely point spectrum of…
The method of potential envelopes is used to analyse the bound-state spectrum of the Schroedinger Hamiltonian H = -Delta -v/(r+b), where v and b are positive. We established simple formulas yielding upper and lower energy bounds for all the…

We provide a characterization of the spectral minimum for a random Schr\"odinger operator of the form $H=-\Delta + \sum_{i \in \Z^d}q(x-i-\omega_i)$ in $L^2(\R^d)$, where the single site potential $q$ is reflection symmetric, compactly…
For Schr\"odinger operators $H_V=-\Delta_g+V$ with critically singular potentials $V$ on compact manifolds, we prove sharp estimates for the restriction of eigenfunctions to submanifolds. Our method refines the perturbative argument by…
In this article we establish optimal estimates for the first eigenvalue of Schr\"odinger operators on the d-dimensional unit sphere. These estimates depend on Lebsgue's norms of the potential, or of its inverse, and are equivalent to…
