Quantization of superflow-circulation and of magnetic-flux are considered for systems, such as superfluid $^3$He-A and unconventional superconductors, having nonscalar order parameters. The circulation is shown to be the anholonomy in the…
We study the Laplacian with zero magnetic field acting on complex functions of a planar domain $\Omega$, with magnetic Neumann boundary conditions. If $\Omega$ is simply connected then the spectrum reduces to the spectrum of the usual…
On any compact manifold of dimension greater than 3, we exhibit a metric whose first positive eigenvalue for the Laplacian acting on p-form is of multiplicity 2. As a corollary, we prescribe the volume and any finite part of the spectrum of…
We present an analysis of the Aharonov-Bohm oscillations for a mesoscopic ring with a quantum dot inserted in one of its arms. It is shown that microreversibility demands that the phase of the Aharonov-Bohm oscillations changes {\it…
We analyze a Hanbury Brown Twiss geometry in which particles are injected from two independent sources into a mesoscopic electrical conductor. The set-up has the property that all partial waves end in different reservoirs without generating…
We obtain upper bounds for the first eigenvalue of the magnetic Laplacian associated to a closed potential $1$-form (hence, with zero magnetic field) acting on complex functions of a planar domain $\Omega$, with magnetic Neumann boundary…
The Aharonov-Bohm effect is analyzed for a spin-1/2 particle in the case that a $1/r$ potential is present. Scalar and vector couplings are each considered. It is found that the approach in which the flux tube is given a finite radius that…
We study the Pauli operator in a two-dimensional, connected domain with Neumann or Robin boundary condition. We prove a sharp lower bound on the number of negative eigenvalues reminiscent of the Aharonov-Casher formula. We apply this lower…
We compute the first eigenpair for variable exponent eigenvalue problems. We compare the homogeneous definition of first eigenvalue with previous nonhomogeneous notions in the literature. We highlight the symmetry breaking phenomena
In this short note, the simplicity of the first eigenvalue of a nonlinear system is shown by an alternative proof; thereby, it states that the first eigenfunctions are unique up to modulo scaling.
Quantum tunnelling is a common fundamental quantum-mechanical phenomenon that originates from the wave-like characteristics of quantum particles. Although the quantum-tunnelling effect was first observed 85 years ago, some questions…
We derive a sufficient condition for a Hermitian $N \times N$ matrix $A$ to have at least $m$ eigenvalues (counting multiplicities) in the interval $(-\epsilon, \epsilon)$. This condition is expressed in terms of the existence of a…
It is known that a matrix polynomial with unitary matrix coefficients has its eigenvalues in the annular region $\frac{1}{2} < |\lambda| < 2$. We prove in this short note that under certain assumptions, matrix polynomials with either doubly…
We consider a nonrelativistic quantum charged particle moving on a plane under the influence of a uniform magnetic field and driven by a periodically time-dependent Aharonov-Bohm flux. We observe an acceleration effect in the case when the…
