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…

Periodic $2$nd order ordinary differential operators on $\R$ are known to have the edges of their spectra to occur only at the spectra of periodic and antiperiodic boundary value problems. The multi-dimensional analog of this property is…
We prove sharp upper bounds for eigenvalues of Schr\"odinger operators on quantum graphs with $\delta$-coupling (also known as Robin) conditions at all vertices. The bounds depend on the geometry of the graph, on the potential, and the…
We extend to orbifolds classical results on quantum ergodicity due to Shnirelman, Colin de Verdi\`ere and Zelditch, proving that, for any positive, first-order self-adjoint elliptic pseudodifferential operator P on a compact orbifold X with…
We consider a two-dimensional periodic Schr\"odinger operator $H=-\Delta+W$ with $\Gamma$ being the lattice of periods. We investigate the structure of the edges of open gaps in the spectrum of $H$. We show that under arbitrary small…
We study the effect of non-negative potentials on the spectral gap of one-dimensional Schr\"odinger operators in the limit of large intervals. In particular, we derive upper and lower bounds on the gap for different classes of potentials…
We derive a sharp criterion on the spectra of periodic discrete Schr\"odinger operators acting on connected periodic lattices: the measure of the spectrum goes to zero as the coupling constant goes to infinity if and only if there is no…
Consider a sequence of finite regular graphs (GN) converging, in the sense of Benjamini-Schramm, to the infinite regular tree. We study the induced quantum graphs with equilateral edge lengths, Kirchhoff conditions (possibly with a non-zero…
The Bethe-Sommerfeld conjecture states that the spectrum of the stationary Schrodinger operator with a periodic potential in dimensions higher than 1 has only finitely many gaps. After work done by many authors, it has been proven by now in…
We investigate the peculiar feature of non-Hermitian operators, namely, the existence of spectral branch points (also known as exceptional or level crossing points), at which two (or many) eigenmodes collapse onto a single eigenmode and…
Motivated by the long-time transport properties of quantum waves in weakly disordered media, the present work puts random Schr\"odinger operators into a new spectral perspective. Based on a stationary random version of a Floquet type…
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…
We study the problem of how the Floquet property manifests for periodic Schr\"{o}dinger operators which are known to have multiple of asymptotic spectral solutions. The main conclusions are made for elliptic potentials, we demonstrate that…
