We prove several new results on the absolutely continuous spectra of perturbed one-dimensional Stark operators. First, we find new classes of perturbations, characterized mainly by smoothness conditions, which preserve purely absolutely…
We study the discrete spectrum of the Robin Laplacian $Q^{\Omega}_\alpha$ in $L^2(\Omega)$, \[ u\mapsto -\Delta u, \quad \dfrac{\partial u}{\partial n}=\alpha u \text{ on }\partial\Omega, \] where $\Omega\subset \mathbb{R}^{3}$ is a conical…
We discuss the analysis of mixed-state magnetization data of type-II superconductors using a recently developed scaling procedure. It is based on the fact that, if the Ginzburg-Landau parameter kappa does not depend on temperature, the…
As a method beyond the mean-field analysis, a matrix product state (MPS) with incommensurate periodicity is applied to detect phase transitions accompanied with periodicity change, where the incommensurate MPS is generated by acting…
We study a perturbed Floquet Hamiltonian $K+\beta V$ depending on a coupling constant $\beta$. The spectrum $\sigma(K)$ is assumed to be pure point and dense. We pick up an eigen-value, namely $0\in\sigma(K)$, and show the existence of a…

We consider a symmetric Anderson impurity model, with a soft-gap hybridization vanishing at the Fermi level with a power law r > 0. Three facets of the problem are examined. First the non-interacting limit, which despite its simplicity…
We consider the precision $\Delta \varphi$ with which the parameter $\varphi$, appearing in the unitary map $U_\varphi = e^{ i \varphi \Lambda}$ acting on some type of probe system, can be estimated when there is a finite amount of prior…
The Ising model describes collective behaviors such as phase transitions and critical phenomena in various physical, biological, economical, and social systems. It is well-known that spontaneous phase transition at finite temperature does…
We consider numbers of the form $S_\beta(\boldsymbol{u}):=\sum_{n=0}^\infty \frac{u_n}{\beta^n}$ for $\boldsymbol{u}=\langle u_n \rangle_{n=0}^\infty$ a Sturmian sequence over a binary alphabet and $\beta$ an algebraic number with…
Phase transitions of thermal systems and the laser threshold were first connected more than forty years ago. Despite the nonequilibrium nature of the laser, the Landau theory of thermal phase transitions, applied directly to the Scully-Lamb…

We introduce Multivariate Circulant Singular Spectrum Analysis (M-CiSSA) to provide a comprehensive framework to analyze fluctuations, extracting the underlying components of a set of time series, disentangling their sources of variation…
Let $D\subset \R^n$, $n\geq 3,$ be a bounded domain with a $C^{\infty}$ boundary $S$, $L=-\nabla^2+q(x)$ be a selfadjoint operator defined in $H=L^2(D)$ by the Neumann boundary condition, $\theta(x,y,\lambda)$ be its spectral function,…
This paper proposes to broaden the canonical formulation of quantum mechanics. Ordinarily, one imposes the condition $H^\dagger=H$ on the Hamiltonian, where $\dagger$ represents the mathematical operation of complex conjugation and matrix…
We introduce a framework for implementing quantum operations as steady states of a subsystem in an extended Hilbert space. Each operation has a spectral criterion for reaching the steady state. This adds a `spectral switch' mechanism to the…
We consider the asymptotic behavior as $n\to\infty$ of the spectra of random matrices of the form \[\frac{1}{\sqrt{n-1}}\sum_{k=1}^{n-1}Z_{nk}\rho_n ((k,k+1)),\] where for each $n$ the random variables $Z_{nk}$ are i.i.d. standard Gaussian…

Assuming triviality of the 4-dimensional $\lambda \phi ^4$-theory we compute the effective potential by means of a self consistent Feynman-Bogoliubov method. This potential $U_{eff}^{FB}$ depends on a UV-cutoff, which is fixed by a…
We develop criteria for recurrence and transience of one-dimensional Markov processes which have jumps and oscillate between $+\infty$ and $-\infty$. The conditions are based on a Markov chain which only consists of jumps (overshoots) of…
