It is known that, if a locally perturbed periodic self-adjoint operator on a combinatorial or quantum graph admits an eigenvalue embedded in the continuous spectrum, then the associated eigenfunction is compactly supported--that is, if the…
We construct two types of multi-layer quantum graphs (Schr\"odinger operators on metric graphs) for which the dispersion function of wave vector and energy is proved to be a polynomial in the dispersion function of the single layer. This…
This work constructs a class of non-symmetric periodic Schr\"odinger operators on metric graphs (quantum graphs) whose Fermi, or Floquet, surface is reducible. The Floquet surface at an energy level is an algebraic set that describes all…
We present a method to estimate the number of irreducible components of the Fermi varieties of periodic Schr\"odinger operators on graphs in terms of suitable asymptotics. Our main theorem is an abstract bound for the number of irreducible…
We use methods from algebra and discrete geometry to study the irreducibility of the dispersion polynomial of a discrete periodic operator associated to a periodic graph after changing the period lattice. We provide numerous applications of…
We give a complete characterization of generic irreducibility for dispersion polynomials and Bloch varieties of periodic graph operators. More precisely, we prove that for a generic choice of edge weights and potentials, the dispersion…
We introduce the weighted graph Laplacian and the notion of Schr\"odinger operator on a locally finite weighted graph . Concerning essential self-adjointness, we extend Wojciechowski's and Dodziuk's results for graphs with vertex constant…
We give a sufficient condition for the essential self-adjointness of a perturbation of the square of the magnetic Laplacian on an infinite weighted graph. The main result is applicable to graphs whose degree function is not necessarily…
We prove that the ribbon graph polynomial of a graph embedded in an orientable surface is irreducible if and only if the embedded graph is neither the disjoint union nor the join of embedded graphs. This result is analogous to the fact that…
Different cases of sequences of the Laplace Transformations for the 2D Schrodinger operator in the periodic magnetic field and electric potential are considered. They lead to the exactly solvable operators with nonstandard spectral…
Using numerical certification, we prove the existence of a nontrivial real-valued two dimensional periodic potential whose associated discrete Schr\"odinger operator is Fermi isospectral to the zero potential. This provides a negative…
A periodic linear graph operator acts on states (functions) defined on the vertices of a graph equipped with a free translation action. Fourier transform with respect to the translation group reveals the central spectral objects, Bloch and…
We say that a vertex or edge colouring of a graph is distinguishing if the only automorphism that preserves this colouring is the identity. A (proper) distinguishing colouring is irreducible if there is no possibility of merging two…
Fermi surfaces are basic objects in solid state physics and in the spectral theory of periodic operators. We define several measures connected to Fermi surfaces and study their measure theoretic properties. From this we get absence of…

In this paper we prove that if S is a smooth, irreducible, projective, rational, complex surface and D an effective, connected, reduced divisor on S, then the pair (S,D) is contractible if the log-Kodaira dimension of the pair is $-\infty$.…
The perturbation expansion for a general class of many-fermion systems with a non-nested, non-spherical Fermi surface is renormalized to all orders. In the limit as the infrared cutoff is removed, the counterterms converge to a finite limit…
Self-rational maps of generic algebraic K3 surfaces are conjectured to be trivial. We relate this conjecture to a conjecture concerning the irreducibility of the universal Severi varieties parametrizing nodal curves of given genus and…
Given a periodic placement of copies of a tromino (either L or I), we prove co-RE-completeness (and hence undecidability) of deciding whether it can be completed to a plane tiling. By contrast, the problem becomes decidable if the initial…
