We consider the well-known Lieb-Liniger (LL) model for $N$ bosons interacting pairwise on the line via the $\delta$-potential in the mean-field scaling regime. Assuming suitable asymptotic factorization of the initial wave functions and…
The Kronig-Penney model describes what happens to electron states when a confining potential is repeated indefinitely. This model uses a square well potential; the energies and eigenstates can be obtained analytically for a the single well,…

We provide a derivation of the tight-binding model that emerges from a full consideration of a particle bound in a periodic one-dimensional array of square well potentials, separated by barriers of height $V_0$ and width $b$. We derive the…
We investigate a one-dimensional quantum system with a self-similar arrangement of delta-function potential barriers, exhibiting discrete scale invariance. The singular potential induces kinematically enforced symmetry breaking at $x=0$,…

Keller-Segel systems in two and three space dimensions with an additional cross-diffusion term in the equation for the chemical concentration are analyzed. The cross-diffusion term has a stabilizing effect and leads to the global-in-time…
We study the bound states of a Kronig Penney potential for a nonlinear one-dimensional Schroedinger equation. This potential consists of a large, but not necessarily infinite, number of equidistant delta-function wells. We show that the…
We explicitly prove that the transfer matrix of a finite layered $PT$-symmetric system of fix length $L$ consisting of $N$ units of the potential system `$+iV$' and `$-iV$' of equal thickness becomes a unit matrix in the limit $N…
We consider the "weighted" operator $P_k=-\partial_x a(x)\partial_x$ on the line with a step-like coefficient which appears when propagation of waves thorough a finite slab of a periodic medium is studied. The medium is transparent at…
Studies of non-Fermi liquid properties in heavy fermions have led to the current interest in the Bose-Fermi Kondo model. Here we use a dynamical large-N approach to analyze an SU(N)xSU($\kappa N$) generalization of the model. We establish…
Tunneling through a localized barrier in a one-dimensional interacting electron gas has been studied recently using Luttinger liquid techniques. Stable phases with zero or unit transmission occur, as well as critical points with universal…
