This article is one of a series of papers. For this decade, the Dirac operator on a submanifold has been studied as a restriction of the Dirac operator in $n$-dimensional euclidean space $\EE^n$ to a surface or a space curve as physical…
We show that the fractal growth described by the dielectric breakdown model exhibits a phase transition in the multifractal spectrum of the growth measure. The transition takes place because the tip-splitting of branches forms a fixed…

We study the (massless) Dirac operator on a 3-sphere equipped with Riemannian metric. For the standard metric the spectrum is known. In particular, the eigenvalues closest to zero are the two double eigenvalues +3/2 and -3/2. Our aim is to…
One of the main tools used to understand both qualitative and quantitative spectral behaviour of periodic and almost periodic Schr\"odinger operators is the method of gauge transform. In this paper, we extend this method to an abstract…
We review the concepts of the index of a Fredholm operator, the spectral flow of a curve of self-adjoint Fredholm operators, the Maslov index of a curve of Lagrangian subspaces in symplectic Hilbert space, and the eta invariant of operators…
Let $Y$ be a compact, oriented 3-manifold with a contact form $a$ and a metric $ds^2$. Suppose that $F\to Y$ is a principal bundle with structure group $U(2) = SU(2)\times_{\pm1}S^1$ such that $F/S^1$ is the principal SO(3) bundle of…
We consider the operator $ L = - (d/dx)^2 + x^2 y + w(x) y , y \in L^2(\mathbb{R}) $, where $ w(x) = s [ \delta(x - b) - \delta(x + b)], b \neq 0,$ real, $s \in \mathbb{C}$. This operator has a discrete spectrum: eventually the eigenvalues…
A conformal immersion of a 2-torus into the 4-sphere is characterized by an auxiliary Riemann surface, its spectral curve. This complex curve encodes the monodromies of a certain Dirac type operator on a quaternionic line bundle associated…
We consider the magnetic Dirac operator on a curved strip whose boundary carries the infinite mass boundary condition. When the magnetic field is large, we provide the reader with accurate estimates of the essential and discrete spectra. In…
An elementary treatment of the Dirac Equation in the presence of a three-dimensional spherically symmetric $\delta (r-r_0)$-potential is presented. We show how to handle the matching conditions in the configuration space, and discuss the…
In this paper we study the asymptotic behavior of the spectral flow of a one-parameter family $\{D_s\}$ of Dirac operators acting on the spinor bunldle $S$ twisted by a vector bundle $E$ of rank $k$, with the parameter $s\in [0,r]$ when $r$…
Let $(M_i, g_i)_{i \in \mathbb{N}}$ be a sequence of spin manifolds with uniform bounded curvature and diameter that converges to a lower dimensional Riemannian manifold $(B,h)$ in the Gromov-Hausdorff topology. Lott showed that the…
A fast method is presented for simulating the dielectric-breakdown model using iterated conformal mappings. Numerical results for the dimension and for corrections to scaling are in good agreement with the recent RG prediction of an upper…
Until very recently, two-photon interaction processes have been considered only as arising from second- or higher-order effects in driven systems, and so limited to extremely small coupling strengths. However, a variety of novel physical…
This paper is devoted to the spectral theory of the Schr\"{o}dinger operator on the simplest fractal: Dyson's hierarchical lattice. An explicit description of the spectrum, eigenfunctions, resolvent and parabolic kernel are provided for the…
We study the electronic states of graphene in piecewise constant potentials using the continuum Dirac equation appropriate at low energies, and a transfer matrix method. For superlattice potentials, we identify patterns of induced Dirac…

On complete non-compact manifolds with bounded sectional curvature, we consider a class of self-adjoint Dirac-type operators called Dirac-Schr\"odinger operators. Assuming two Dirac-Schr\"odinger operators coincide at infinity, by previous…
We consider Schr\"odinger operator in dimension $d\ge 2$ with a singular interaction supported by an infinite family of concentric spheres, analogous to a system studied by Hempel and coauthors for regular potentials. The essential spectrum…
