We study topological aspects of defect modes for a family of operators $\{\mathscr{P}(t)\}_{t \in [0,2\pi]}$ on $L^2(\mathbb{R})$. $\mathscr{P}(t)$ is a periodic Schr\"odinger operator $P_0$ perturbed by a dislocated potential. This…

We consider a Dirac operator with a dislocation potential on the real line. The dislocation potential is a fixed periodic potential on the negative half-line and the same potential but shifted by real parameter $t$ on the positive…
As a simple model for lattice defects like grain boundaries in solid state physics we consider potentials which are obtained from a periodic potential $V = V(x,y)$ on $\R^2$ with period lattice $\Z^2$ by setting $W_t(x,y) = V(x+t,y)$ for $x…

We consider the discrete eigenvalues of the operator $H_\eps=-\Delta+V(\x)+\eps^2Q(\eps\x)$, where $V(\x)$ is periodic and $Q(\y)$ is localized on $\R^d,\ \ d\ge1$. For $\eps>0$ and sufficiently small, discrete eigenvalues may bifurcate…
We prove a dispersive estimate for periodic discrete Schr\"odinger operators on the line with optimal rate of decay. Additionally, by standard methods, we deduce dispersive estimates for the discrete nonlinear Schr\"odinger equation with…
We consider two-dimensional unbounded magnetic Dirac operators, either defined on the whole plane, or with infinite mass boundary conditions on a half-plane. Our main results use techniques from elliptic PDEs and integral operators, while…
The behaviour of the spectral edges (embedded eigenvalues and resonances) is discussed at the two ends of the continuous spectrum of non-local discrete Schr\"odinger operators with a $\delta$-potential. These operators arise by replacing…
This paper concerns spectral properties of linear Schr\"odinger operators under oscillatory high-amplitude potentials on bounded domains. Depending on the degree of disorder, we prove the existence of spectral gaps amongst the lowermost…
We consider a nonlocal differential--difference Schr\"odinger operator on a segment with the Neumann conditions and two translations in the free term. The values of the translations are denoted by $\alpha$ and $\beta$ and are treated as…
The spectral properties of the Schr\"odinger operator $T_ty= -y''+q_ty$ in $L^2(\R)$ are studied, with a potential $q_t(x)=p_1(x), x<0, $ and $q_t(x)=p(x+t), x>0, $ where $p_1, p$ are periodic potentials and $t\in \R$ is a parameter of…
We consider Schr\"odinger operators with periodic potentials on periodic discrete graphs. The spectrum of the Schr\"odinger operator consists of an absolutely continuous part (a union of a finite number of non-degenerated bands) plus a…
We compare the bottom of the spectrum of discrete and continuous Schr\"odinger operators with periodic potentials with barriers at the boundaries of their fundamental domains. Our results show that these energy levels coincide in the…
We analyze the solution of the Schr\"odinger equation arising in the treatment of a geometric model introduced to explain the origin of the observed shallow levels in semiconductors threaded by a dislocation density. We show (contrary to…
We prove dispersive estimates for two models~: the adjacency matrix on a discrete regular tree, and the Schr\"odinger equation on a metric regular tree with the same potential on each edge/vertex. The latter model can be thought of as an…
We calculate accurate eigenvalues and eigenfunctions of the Schr\"odinger equation for a two-dimensional quantum dipole. This model proved useful for the study of elastic effects of a single edge dislocation. We show that the Rayleigh-Ritz…
We study the relation between spectral flow and index theory within the framework of (unbounded) KK-theory. In particular, we consider a generalised notion of 'Dirac-Schr\"odinger operators', consisting of a self-adjoint elliptic…
