We discuss domain walls from spontaneous breaking of Abelian discrete symmetries $Z_N$. A series of different domain wall structures are predicted, depending on the symmetry and charge assignments of scalars leading to the spontaneous…
In this paper, we study a singular perturbation of a problem used in dimension two to model graphene or in dimension three to describe the quark confinement phenomenon in hadrons. The operators we consider are of the form $H + M\beta V…
The autocorrelation function of spectral determinants (ASD) is used to characterize the discrete spectrum of a phase coherent quasi- 1- dimensional, disordered wire as a function of its length L in a finite, weak magnetic field. An…
A classical theorem of von Neumann asserts that every unbounded self-adjoint operator $A$ in a separable Hilbert space $H$ is unitarily equivalent to an operator $B$ in $H$ such that $D(A)\cap D(B)=\{0\}$. Equivalently this can be…
We study discrete spectrum of self-adjoint Weyl pseudodifferential operators with discontinuous symbols of the form $1_\Omega \phi$ where $1_\Omega$ is the indicator of a domain in $\Omega\subset\mathbb R^2$, and $\phi\in C^\infty_0(\mathbb…
We consider the unperturbed operator $H_0: = (-i \nabla - {\bf A})^2 + W$, self-adjoint in $L^2({\mathbb R}^2)$. Here ${\bf A}$ is a magnetic potential which generates a constant magnetic field $b>0$, and the edge potential $W = \bar{W}$ is…
We perform quantitative spectral analysis of the self-adjoint Dirichlet Laplacian $\mathsf{H}$ on an unbounded, radially symmetric (generalized) parabolic layer $\mathcal{P}\subset\mathbb{R}^3$. It was known before that $\mathsf{H}$ has an…
We present a model for spectral theory of families of selfadjoint operators, and their corresponding unitary one-parameter groups (acting in Hilbert space.) The models allow for a scale of complexity, indexed by the natural numbers…
We prove the existence of nontrivial unbounded domains $\O$ in the Euclidean space $\R^d$ for which the Dirichlet eigenvalue problem for the Laplacian on $\Omega$ admits sign-changing eigenfunctions with constant Neumann values on $\partial…
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 a general self-adjoint Hamiltonian operator $H_0$ on the Hilbert space $L^2(\RE^d)$, we determine the set of all self-adjoint Hamiltonians $H$ on $L^2(\RE^d)$ that dynamically confine the system to an open set $\Omega \subset \RE^d$…
We explore the Hamiltonian operator H=-d^2/dx^2 + z \delta(x) where x is real, \delta(x) is the Dirac delta function, and z is an arbitrary complex coupling constant. For a purely imaginary z, H has a (real) spectral singularity at…
We study the operator theory associated with such infinite graphs $G$ as occur in electrical networks, in fractals, in statistical mechanics, and even in internet search engines. Our emphasis is on the determination of spectral data for a…
The real Ginzburg-Landau equation possesses a family of spatially periodic equilibria. If the wave number of an equilibrium is strictly below the so called Eckhaus boundary the equilibrium is known to be spectrally and diffusively stable,…
Stationary periodic patterns are widespread in natural sciences, ranging from nano-scale electrochemical and amphiphilic systems to mesoscale fluid, chemical and biological media and to macro-scale vegetation and cloud patterns. Their…
This paper concerns the spectral properties of the Neumann-Poincar\'e operator on $m$-fold rotationally symmetric planar domains. An $m$-fold rotationally symmetric simply connected domain $D$ is realized as the $m$th-root transform of a…
A unitary representation of a, possibly infinite dimensional, Lie group G is called semi-bounded if the corresponding operators id\pi(x) from the derived representations are uniformly bounded from above on some non-empty open subset of the…
For selfadjoint extensions tilde-A of a symmetric densely defined positive operator A_min, the lower boundedness problem is the question of whether tilde-A is lower bounded {\it if and only if} an associated operator T in abstract boundary…
Finite rank perturbations of a semi-bounded self-adjoint operator A are studied in the scale of Hilbert spaces associated with A. A concept of quasi-boundary value space is used to describe self-adjoint operator realizations of regular and…
If $a$ is a densely defined sectorial form in a Hilbert space which is possibly not closable, then we associate in a natural way a holomorphic semigroup generator with $a$. This allows us to remove in several theorems of semigroup theory…
