We discuss the behaviour of the bottom of the spectrum of scalar Schr\"odinger operators under Riemannian coverings of orbifolds. We apply our results to geometrically finite and to conformally compact orbifolds.

For a Riemannian covering $\pi\colon M_1\to M_0$, the bottoms of the spectra of $M_0$ and $M_1$ coincide if the covering is amenable. The converse implication does not always hold. Assuming completeness and a lower bound on the Ricci…

For a Riemannian covering $M_1\to M_0$ of complete Riemannian manifolds with boundary (possibly empty) and respective fundamental groups $\Gamma_1\subseteq\Gamma_0$, we show that the bottoms of the spectra of $M_0$ and $M_1$ coincide if the…

The quantum-mechanical scattering on a compact Riemannian manifold with semi-axes attached to it (hedgehog-shaped manifold) is considered. The complete description of the spectral structure of Schroedinger operators on such a manifold is…

From a graph $G$ with constant valency $v$ and a (non-compact) manifold $C$ with $v$ boundary components, we build a $G$-periodic manifold $M$. This process gives a class of topologically infinite manifolds which generalizes periodic…

We approximate the spectral data (eigenvalues and eigenfunctions) of compact Riemannian manifold by the spectral data of a sequence of (computable) discrete Laplace operators associated to some graphs immersed in the manifold. We give an…

The aim of this paper is to prove a qualitative property, namely the preservation of positivity, for Schr\"odinger-type operators acting on $L^p$ functions defined on (possibly incomplete) Riemannian manifolds. A key assumption is a control…

It is proven that the absolutely continuous spectrum of matrix Schr\"{o}dinger operators coincides (with the multiplicity taken into account) with the spectrum of the unperturbed operator if the (matrix) potential is square integrable. The…
