The stationary Gross-Pitaevskii equation in one dimension is considered with a complex periodic potential satisfying the conditions of the PT (parity-time reversal) symmetry. Under rather general assumptions on the potentials we prove…
The nonlinear Schroedinger equation is studied for a periodic sequence of delta-potentials (a delta-comb) or narrow Gaussian potentials. For the delta-comb the time-independent nonlinear Schroedinger equation can be solved analytically in…
The energy spectrum of a nonrelativistic particle on a noncommutative sphere in the presence of a magnetic monopole field is calculated. The system is treated in the field theory language, in which the one-particle sector of a charged…
We consider a periodic system of domains coupled by small windows. In such domain we study the band spectrum of a Schroedinger operator subject to Neumann condition. We show that near each isolated eigenvalue of the similar operator but in…
Spectra of standard 1d potentials (double-well, sin-Gordon etc) are given by trans-series in coupling, including (badly divergent) perturbative series (PS), and nonperturbative terms. All of them are badly defined (e.g. PS are badly…

The spectrum of the self-adjoint Schr\"odinger operator associated with the Kronig-Penney model on the half-line has a band-gap structure: its absolutely continuous spectrum consists of intervals (bands) separated by gaps. We show that if…
We study Schr\"odinger operators on the real line whose potentials are generated by an underlying ergodic subshift over a finite alphabet and a rule that replaces symbols by compactly supported potential pieces. We first develop the…
