This article is devoted to the spectral analysis of the electro-magnetic Schr\"odinger operator on the Euclidean plane. In the semiclassical limit, we derive a pseudo-differential effective operator that allows us to describe the spectrum…
We show that solutions of the Schr\"odinger equation with a symmetric P\"oschl-Teller potential of a particular form can be expressed in terms of a closed combination (not series) of trigonometric functions. Using some properties of the…
We study an abstract equation in a reflexive Banach space, depending on a real parameter $\lambda$. The equation is composed by homogeneous potential operators. By analyzing the Nehari sets, we prove a bifurcation result. In some particular…
This note points out some bounds for the number of negative eigenvalues of Schroedinger operators with Hardy-type potentials, which follow from a simple coordinate transformation, and could prove useful in a spectral analysis of certain…
All of the PT-symmetric potentials that have been studied so far have been local. In this paper nonlocal PT-symmetric separable potentials of the form $V(x,y)=i\epsilon[U(x)U(y)-U(-x)U(-y)]$, where $U(x)$ is real, are examined. Two specific…
Stemming from the seminal work of Bender & Boettcher in 1998 (Phys. Rev. Lett. vol. 80 pp. 5243-5246), there has been great interest in the study of PT-symmetric models of quantum mechanics, where the primary focus is with the study of…
For Schr\"odinger operators with potentials that are asymptotically homogeneous of degree $-2$, the size of the coupling determines whether it has finite or infinitely many negative eigenvalues. In the latter case the asymptotic…
We propose a discrete-space representation of a one-dimensional zero-range odd-parity pseudopotential. The proposed representation is validated by applying it to the analytically solvable case of two fermions in a harmonic trap and…
We establish that a perfect-transmission scattering problem can be described by a class of parity and time reversal symmetric operators and hereby we provide a scenario for understanding and implementing the corresponding quasi-Hermitian…
We review recent work on the generalization of PT symmetry. We show that, in addition to PT-symmetric complex potentials, there are also large classes of non-PT-symmetric complex potentials which also feature all-real spectra. In addition,…
Many physical systems can be described by nonlinear eigenvalues and bifurcation problems with a linear part that is non-selfadjoint e.g. due to the presence of loss and gain. The balance of these effects is reflected in an antilinear…
The maximum of the absolute value of a real homogeneous polynomial of degree $d\ge 3$ on the unit sphere corresponds to the spectral norm of the induced real $d$-symmetric tensor $\mathcal{S}$. We give two sequences of upper bounds on the…
We study Schr\"odinger operators $H=-\Delta+V$ in $L^2(\Omega)$ where $\Omega$ is $\mathbb R^d$ or the half-space $\mathbb R_+^d$, subject to (real) Robin boundary conditions in the latter case. For $p>d$ we construct a non-real potential…
In a recent paper Bender and Mannheim showed that the unequal-frequency fourth-order derivative Pais-Uhlenbeck oscillator model has a realization in which the energy eigenvalues are real and bounded below, the Hilbert-space inner product is…
Many indefinite-metric (often called pseudo-Hermitian or PT-symmetric) quantum models H prove "physical" (i.e., Hermitian with respect to an innovated, ad hoc scalar product) inside a characteristic domain of parameters D. This means that…

We study the spectrum of unbounded J-self-adjoint block operator matrices. In particular, we prove enclosures for the spectrum, provide a sufficient condition for the spectrum being real and derive variational principles for certain real…
