The spectral properties of a class of non-selfadjoint second order elliptic operators with indefinite weight functions on unbounded domains $\Omega$ are investigated. It is shown that under an abstract regularity assumption the nonreal…
We consider second order differential operators $A_\mu$ on a bounded, Dirichlet regular set $\Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^d$, subject to the nonlocal boundary conditions \[ u(z) = \int_\Omega u(x)\, \mu (z, dx)\quad \mbox{for } z \in \partial…
We establish quantitative upper and lower bounds for Schr\"odinger operators with complex potentials that satisfy some weak form of sparsity. Our first result is a quantitative version of an example, due to S.\ Boegli (Comm. Math. Phys.,…
Let $\gH$ be a Hilbert space and let $A$ be a simple symmetric operator in $\gH$ with equal deficiency indices $d:=n_\pm(A)<\infty$. We show that if, for all $\l$ in an open interval $I\subset\bR$, the dimension of defect subspaces…
A Hankel operator $\Gamma$ in $L^2(\mathbb{R}_+)$ is an integral operator with the integral kernel of the form $h(t+s)$, where $h$ is known as the kernel function. It is known that $\Gamma$ is positive semi-definite if and only if $h$ is…
Laptev and Safronov conjectured that any non-positive eigenvalue of a Schr\"odinger operator $-\Delta+V$ in $L^2(\mathbb R^\nu)$ with complex potential has absolute value at most a constant times…
We determine the Schatten class for the compact resolvent of Dirichlet realizations, in unbounded domains, of a class of non-selfadjoint differential operators. This class consists of operators that can be obtained via analytic dilation…
We prove inclusion theorems for both spectra and essential spectra as well as two-sided bounds for isolated eigenvalues for Klein-Gordon type Hamiltonian operators. We first study operators of the form $JG$, where $J$, $G$ are selfadjoint…
Given a discrete Schr\"odinger operator $h$ on a finite connected graph $G$ of $n$ vertices, the nodal count $\phi(h,k)$ denotes the number of edges on which the $k$-th eigenvector changes sign. A {\em signing} $h'$ of $h$ is any real…
We consider a bounded domain $\Omega$ of $\mathbb{R}^N$, $N\geq 3$, and $h$ a continuous function on $\Omega$. Let $\Gamma$ be a closed curve contained in $\Omega$. We study existence of positive solutions $u\in H^1_0(\Omega)$ to the…
We consider Schr\"odinger operators $H^h = (ih d+{\bf A})^* (ih d+{\bf A})$ with the periodic magnetic field ${\bf B}=d{\bf A}$ on covering spaces of compact manifolds. Under some assumptions on $\bf B$, we prove that there are arbitrarily…
In this paper, we investigate the delocalization property of the discrete Schr\"odinger operator $H_\omega=-\Delta+v_n\omega_n\delta_{n,n'}$, where $v_n=\kappa |n|^{-\alpha}$ and $\omega=\{\omega_n\}_{n\in\mathbb{Z}^d}\in \{\pm…
The Bochner-Schr\"odinger operator $H_{p}=\frac 1p\Delta^{L^p}+V$ on high tensor powers $L^p$ of a Hermitian line bundle $L$ on a Riemannian manifold $X$ of bounded geometry is studied under the assumption of non-degeneracy of the curvature…
We prove sharp upper bounds for eigenvalues of Schr\"odinger operators on quantum graphs with $\delta$-coupling (also known as Robin) conditions at all vertices. The bounds depend on the geometry of the graph, on the potential, and the…
Suppose that $\Omega = \{0, 1\}^ {\mathbb {N}}$ and $ {\sigma}$ is the one-sided shift. The Birkhoff spectrum $ \displaystyle S_{f}( {\alpha})=\dim_{H}\Big \{ {\omega}\in {\Omega}:\lim_{N \to \infty} \frac{1}{N} \sum_{n=1}^N f(\sigma^n…
We consider the semilinear Dirichlet problem \[ \Delta u+kg(u)=\mu _1 \varphi _1+\cdots +\mu _n \varphi _n+e(x) \;\; \mbox{for $x \in \Omega$}, \;\; u=0 \;\; \mbox{on $\partial \Omega$}, \] where $\varphi _k$ is the $k$-th eigenfunction of…
The particle in a well in dimension one is a classical problem in quantum mechanics. We study higher-dimensional analogues of the problem, where the well is a smooth domain in $\mathbb{R}^d$. We show that simple eigenvalues and…
This paper is concerned with the discrete spectrum of the self-adjoint realization of the semi-classical Schr\"odinger operator with constant magnetic field and associated with the de Gennes (Fourier/Robin) boundary condition. We derive an…
We provide a purely variational proof of the existence of eigenvalues below the bottom of the essential spectrum for the Schr\"odinger operator with an attractive $\delta$-potential supported by a star graph, i.e. by a finite union of rays…
We prove a criterion for absence of eigenvalues for one-dimensional Schr\"odinger operators. This criterion can be regarded as an $L^1$-version of Gordon's theorem and it has a broader range of application. Absence of eigenvalues is then…
