This paper is concerned with emptyness of the essential spectrum, or equivalently compactness of the semigroup, for perturbations of selfadjoint operators that are bounded below (on an L^2-space). For perturbations by a (nonnegative)…

We establish quantitative upper and lower bounds for Schr\"odinger operators with complex potentials that satisfy some weak form of sparsity. Our first result is a quantitative version of an example, due to S.\ Boegli (Comm. Math. Phys.,…

We present a result of absence of absolutely continuous spectrum in an interval of $\R$, for a matrix-valued random Schr\"odinger operator, acting on $L^2(\R)\otimes \R^N$ for an arbitrary $N\geq 1$, and whose interaction potential is…

We study periodic approximations of aperiodic Schr\"odinger operators on lattices in Lie groups with dilation structure. The potentials arise through symbolic substitution systems that have been recently introduced in this setting. We…

In this note we provide an explicit lower bound on the spectral gap of one-dimensional Schr\"odinger operators with non-negative bounded potentials and subject to Neumann boundary conditions.

We consider the Schr\"odinger operator on zigzag graphs with a periodic potential. The spectrum of this operator consists of an absolutely continuous part (intervals separated by gaps) plus an infinite number of eigenvalues with infinite…

In the recent literature, various authors have studied spectral comparison results for Schr\"odinger operators with discrete spectrum in different settings including Euclidean domains and quantum graphs. In this note we derive such spectral…

Consider a quasi-periodic Schr\"odinger operator $H_{\alpha,\theta}$ with analytic potential and irrational frequency $\alpha$. Given any rational approximating $\alpha$, let $S_+$ and $S_-$ denote the union, respectively, the intersection…

I present an example of a discrete Schr"odinger operator that shows that it is possible to have embedded singular spectrum and, at the same time, discrete eigenvalues that approach the edges of the essential spectrum (much) faster than…

Using a correspondence between the spectrum of the damped wave equation and non-self-adjoint Schroedinger operators, we derive various bounds on complex eigenvalues of the former. In particular, we establish a sharp result that the…

It is shown that the complete localization of eigenvectors for the almost Mathieu operator entails the absence of Cantor spectrum for this operator.

For relatively form-compact perturbations of non-negative selfadjoint operators, we obtain an upper bound on the number of discrete eigenvalues in half-planes separated from the positive real axis. The bound is given in terms of a partial…

We consider Schr\"odinger operators $H=-\Delta+V({\mathbf x})$ in ${\mathbb R}^d$, $d\geq2$, with quasi-periodic potentials $V({\mathbf x})$. We prove that the absolutely continuous spectrum of a generic $H$ contains a semi-axis…

This article is devoted to prove a stability result for two independent coefficients for a Schr\"odinger operator in an unbounded strip. The result is obtained with only one observation on an unbounded subset of the boundary and the data of…

We consider discrete periodic operator on $\mathbb Z^d$ with respect to lattices $\Gamma\subset\mathbb Z^d$ of full rank. We describe the class of lattices $\Gamma$ for which the operator may have a spectral gap for arbitrarily small…

We introduce the periodic Airy-Schr\"odinger operator and we study its band spectrum. This is an example of an explicitly solvable model with a periodic potential which is not differentiable at its minima and maxima. We define a…

The extended Harper's model, proposed by D.J. Thouless in 1983, generalizes the famous almost Mathieu operator, allowing for a wider range of lattice geometries (parametrized by three coupling parameters) by permitting 2D electrons to hop…

We investigate a class of generalized Schr\"{o}dinger operators in $L^2(\mathbb{R}^3)$ with a singular interaction supported by a smooth curve $\Gamma$. We find a strong-coupling asymptotic expansion of the discrete spectrum in case when…

It is known that the spectral type of the almost Mathieu operator depends in a fundamental way on both the strength of the coupling constant and the arithmetic properties of the frequency. We study the competition between those factors and…
