The purpose of this work is to stress on a mathematical requirement of the Stokes' theorem that, naturally, yields a reassessment of the electric charge quantization condition, which is, here, explicitly carried out in the context of the…
We consider an elliptic operator in which the second-order term is very small in one direction. In this regime, we study the behaviour of the principal eigenfunction and of the principal eigenvalue. Our first result deals with the limit of…

The low-energy eigenstates of two interacting electrons in a square quantum dot in a magnetic field are determined by numerical diagonalization. In the strong correlation regime, the low-energy eigenstates show Aharonov-Bohm type…

The magnetic Aharonov-Bohm effect shows that charged particles may be affected by the vector potential in regions without any electric or magnetic fields [1]. The Aharonov-Bohm effect was experimentally confirmed [2-3] and has been found in…
The nonrelativistic quantum dynamics of a spinless charged particle in the presence of the Aharonov--Bohm potential in curved space is considered. We chose the surface as being a cone defined by a line element in polar coordinates. The…

We consider the 3-dimensional Stark operator perturbed by a complex-valued potential. We obtain an estimate for the number of eigenvalues of this operator as well as for the sum of imaginary parts of eigenvalues situated in the upper…
An experiment to observe the Aharonov-Bohm effect is discussed. A solenoid which consists of a large number of point magnetic dipoles is considered as the source of a vector potential, which acts on a charged particle, and such potential…
We give a lower estimate of the gap of the first two eigenvalues of the Schrodinger operator in the case when the potential is strongly convex. In particular, if the Hessian of the potential is bounded from below by a positive constant, the…
In this paper we analyze an eigenvalue problem related to the nonlocal $p-$laplace operator plus a potential. After reviewing some elementary properties of the first eigenvalue of these operators (existence, positivity of associated…

Let $\Omega$ be a bounded open set in the Poincar\'e hyperbolic disk, $\mathbb{D}$. In this article, we consider the hyperbolic logarithmic potential operator $\mathcal{L}_h : L^2(\Omega) \to L^2(\Omega)$, defined by \begin{equation*}…

We show, in the case of a special dipolar source, that electromagnetic fields in fractional quantum mechanics have an unexpected space dependence: propagating fields may have non-transverse components, and the distinction between near-field…
The Aharonov-Bohm effect on the noncommutative plane is considered. Developing the path integral formulation of quantum mechanics, we find the propagation amplitude for a particle in a noncommutative space. We show that the corresponding…
