Fix an integer $n\ge 2$. To each non-zero point $\mathbf{u}$ in $\mathbb{R}^n$, one attaches several numbers called exponents of Diophantine approximation. However, as Khintchine first observed, these numbers are not independent of each…

We consider the quasi-periodic Schr\"odinger operator $$ [H \psi](x) = -\psi"(x) + V(x) \psi(x) $$ in $L^2(\mathbb{R})$, where the potential is given by $$ V(x) = \sum_{m \in \mathbb{Z}^\nu \setminus \{ 0 \}} c(m)\exp (2\pi i m \omega x) $$…

We demonstrate criteria, purely based on finite subwords of the potential, to guarantee spectral inclusion as well as Hausdorff approximation of pseudospectra or even spectra of generalized Schr\"odinger operators on the discrete line or…
In this paper, we prove pure point spectrum for a large class of Schr\"odinger operators over circle maps with conditions on the rotation number going beyond the Diophantine. More specifically, we develop the scheme to obtain pure point…

We investigate spectral properties of limit-periodic Schr\"odinger operators in $\ell^2(\Z)$. Our goal is to exhibit as rich a spectral picture as possible. We regard limit-periodic potentials as generated by continuous sampling along the…
We analyze properties of semigroups generated by Schr\"odinger operators $-\Delta+V$ or polyharmonic operators $-(-\Delta)^m$, on metric graphs both on $L^p$-spaces and spaces of continuous functions. In the case of spatially constant…
We make a spectral analysis of discrete Schroedinger operators on the half-line, subject to complex Robin-type boundary couplings and complex-valued potentials. First, optimal spectral enclosures are obtained for summable potentials.…

We consider the Dirichlet Laplacian in a straight planar strip perturbed by a bounded periodic symmetric operator. We prove the classical Bethe-Sommerfeld conjecture for this operator, namely, that this operator has finitely many gaps in…
We develop a quantitative version of Aubry duality and use it to obtain several sharp estimates for the dynamics of Schr\"odinger cocycles associated to a non-perturbatively small analytic potential and Diophantine frequency. In particular,…
