We prove that the Riemannian metric on a compact manifold of dimension $n\geq 3$ with smooth boundary can be uniquely determined, up to an isometry fixing the boundary, by the Dirichlet-to-Neumann map associated to the Laplace-Beltrami…

We consider the quantum problem of a particle in either a spherical box or a finite spherical well confined by a circular cone with an apex angle $2\theta_0$ emanating from the center of the sphere, with $0<\theta_0<\pi$. This non-central…

A classical particle under spatial constraints is strictly confined to live on a specific space manifold or path, but this assumption is incompatible with the zero-point fluctuations of a quantum particle. One way to describe quantum…

Motivated by considerations of euclidean quantum gravity, we investigate a central question of spectral geometry, namely the question of reconstructability of compact Riemannian manifolds from the spectra of their Laplace operators. To this…

The problem of a spin-free electron with mass $m$, charge $e$ confined onto a ring of radius $R_0$ and with an attractive Dirac delta potential with scaling factor (depth) $\kappa$ in non-relativistic theory has closed form analytical…

In this paper we introduce a notion of scattering theory for the Laplace-Beltrami operator on non-compact, connected and complete Riemannian manifolds. A principal condition is given by a certain positive lower bound of the second…

Quasi-degenerate eigenvalue problems are central to quantum chemistry and condensed-matter physics, where low-energy spectra often form manifolds of nearly degenerate states that determine physical properties. Standard quantum algorithms,…

We establish uncertainty principles on compact Riemannian manifolds without boundary in the setting of Laplace-Beltrami operators, including the case of real-valued singular potentials. We replace the classical homogeneity assumption by a…

We prove essential self-adjointness for semi-bounded below magnetic Schr\"odinger operators on complete Riemannian manifolds with a given positive smooth measure which is fixed independently of the metric. Some singularities of the scalar…

In this paper, we discuss the uniqueness in an integral geometry problem in a strongly convex domain. Our problem is related to the problem of finding a Riemannian metric by the distances between all pairs of the boundary points. For the…

We prove that the metric tensor $g$ of a complete Riemannian manifold is uniquely determined, up to isometry, from the knowledge of a local source-to-solution operator. This later is associated to a fractional power of the Laplace-Belrami…

We propose a new strong Riemannian metric on the manifold of (parametrized) embedded curves of regularity $H^s$, $s\in(3/2,2)$. We highlight its close relationship to the (generalized) tangent-point energies and employ it to show that this…

Let $M$ denote a compact, connected Riemannian manifold of dimension $n\in{\mathbb N}$. We assume that $ M$ has a smooth and connected boundary. Denote by $g$ and ${\rm d}v_g$ respectively, the Riemannian metric on $M$ and the associated…

The Schrodinger equation is incomplete, inherently unable to explain the collapse of the wavefunction caused by measurement; a fundamental issue known as the quantum measurement problem. Quantum mechanics is generally constrained by the…

The properties which give quantum mechanics its unique character - unitarity, complementarity, non-commutativity, uncertainty, nonlocality - derive from the algebraic structure of Hermitian operators acting on the wavefunction in complex…

In this paper, we first prove that the following generalized conservation principle holds on complete Riemannian manifolds: for every \(0<s<1\) and \(t>0\), \[ T_t^{(s)}\mathbf 1+\int_0^t T_\tau^{(s)}\mathcal R_s\,d\tau=1 \qquad\text{on }M,…
