The spectral fluctuations of a quantum Hamiltonian system with time-reversal symmetry are studied in the semiclassical limit by using periodic-orbit theory. It is found that, if long periodic orbits are hyperbolic and uniformly distributed…
We consider a non-compact Riemannian periodic manifold such that the corresponding Laplacian has a spectral gap. By continuously perturbing the periodic metric locally we can prove the existence of eigenvalues in a gap. A lower bound on the…
We prove an abstract criterion stating resolvent convergence in the case of operators acting in different Hilbert spaces. This result is then applied to the case of Laplacians on a family $X_\eps$ of branched quantum waveguides. Combining…
We introduce a planar waveguide of constant width with non-Hermitian PT-symmetric Robin boundary conditions. We study the spectrum of this system in the regime when the boundary coupling function is a compactly supported perturbation of a…
We describe a method for comparing the real analytic eigenbranches of two families of quadratic forms that degenerate as t tends to zero. One of the families is assumed to be amenable to `separation of variables' and the other one not. With…
We analyze the semiclassical $d$-dimensional Schr\"{o}dinger operator in the continuum $ \frac{1}{2} \Delta + \lambda_N^2 V$ discretized on a mesh with spacing proportional to $1/N$. The semi-classical parameter $\lambda_N$ is chosen as…
Motivated by the study and simulation of long, coiled optical fibers we consider in this article a simplified model that is prevalent in the engineering community. Mathematically, the problem is specified as follows: Time-harmonic wave…
We consider the wave equation on a closed Riemannian manifold. We observe the restriction of the solutions to a measurable subset $\omega$ along a time interval $[0, T]$ with $T>0$. It is well known that, if $\omega$ is open and if the pair…
We construct a family of self-adjoint operators on the prime numbers whose entries depend on pairwise arithmetic divergences, replacing geometric distance with number-theoretic dissimilarity. The resulting spectra encode how coherence…
We derive rigorously from the water waves equations new irrotational shallow water models for the propagation of surface waves in the case of uneven topography in horizontal dimensions one and two. The systems are made to capture the…
We reveal the existence of continuous families of guided single-mode solitons in planar waveguides with weakly nonlinear active core and absorbing boundaries. Stable propagation of TE and TM-polarized solitons is accompanied by attenuation…
We revisit the analysis by R.A. Gardner of convergence of spectra of periodic traveling waves in the homoclinic, or infinite-period limit, extending his results to the case of essential rather than point spectra of the limiting homoclinic…
We study Hamiltonian difference schemes for scalar conservation laws with monotone flux function and establish the existence of a three-parameter family of periodic travelling waves (wavetrains). The proof is based on an integral equation…
We consider the Dirichlet Laplacian in a straight three dimensional waveguide with non-rotationally invariant cross section, perturbed by a twisting of small amplitude. It is well known that such a perturbation does not create eigenvalues…
We establish spectral enclosures and spectral approximation results for the inhomogeneous lossy Drude-Lorentz system with purely imaginary poles, in a possibly unbounded Lipschitz domain of $\mathbb{R}^3$. Under the assumption that the…
The author defines and analyzes the $1/k$ length spectra, $L_{1/k}(M)$, whose union, over all $k\in \NN$ is the classical length spectrum. These new length spectra are shown to converge in the sense that $\lim_{i\to\infty} L_{1/k}(M_i)…
Excitation of waves in a three-layer acoustic wavegide is studied. The wave field is presented as a sum of integrals. The summation is held over all waveguide modes. The integration is performed over the temporal frequency axis. The…
We show that if the eccentricity of an ellipse is sufficiently small then up to isometries it is spectrally unique among all smooth domains. We do not assume any symmetry, convexity, or closeness to the ellipse, on the class of domains. In…
We study general quantum waveguides and establish explicit effective Hamiltonians for the Laplacian on these spaces. A conventional quantum waveguide is an $\varepsilon$-tubular neighbourhood of a curve in $\mathbb{R}^3$ and the object of…
The conductance of a waveguide containing finite number of periodically placed identical point-like impurities is investigated. It has been calculated as a function of both the impurity strength and the number of impurities using the…
