We review recent advances in the spectral theory of Schr\"odinger operators with decaying potentials. The area has seen spectacular progress in the past few years, stimulated by several conjectures stated by Barry Simon starting at the 1994…
We study one- and two-dimensional periodic tight-binding models under the presence of a potential that grows to infinity in one direction, hence preventing the particles to escape in this direction (the soft wall). We prove that a spectral…
In this paper, we study the direct and inverse scattering of the Schr\"odinger equation in a three-dimensional planar waveguide. For the direct problem, we derive a resonance-free region and resolvent estimates for the resolvent of the…
We consider discrete Schr\"odinger operators with real periodic potentials on periodic graphs. The spectra of the operators consist of a finite number of bands. By "rolling up" a periodic graph along some appropriate directions we obtain…
We develop an abstract method to identify spectral points of definite type in the spectrum of the operator $T_1\otimes I_2 + I_1\otimes T_2$. The method is applicable in particular for non-self-adjoint waveguide type operators with…
In this paper we study the spectrum of self-adjoint Schr\"odinger operators in $L^2(\mathbb{R}^2)$ with a new type of transmission conditions along a smooth closed curve $\Sigma\subseteq \mathbb{R}^2$. Although these $\textit{oblique}$…
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.…
In this paper we prove the existence of orbitally stable standing waves for the critical Schr\"{o}dinger operator, involving potential of the form $\left(\frac{N-2}{2}\right)^2|x|^{-2}$. The approach, being purely variational, is based on…
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 a magnetic Schr\"odinger operator in two dimensions. The magnetic field is given as the sum of a large and constant magnetic field and a random magnetic field. Moreover, we allow for an additional deterministic potential as well…
In a recent contribution we showed that there exists a smooth, dense domain for singular potential Schr\"odinger operators on the real line which is invariant under taking derivatives of arbitrary order and under multiplication by positive…
The behaviour of the spectral edges (embedded eigenvalues and resonances) is discussed at the two ends of the continuous spectrum of non-local discrete Schr\"odinger operators with a $\delta$-potential. These operators arise by replacing…
The discrete Schr\"odinger operator with the Dirichlet boundary condition is considered on the half-line lattice $n\in \{1,2,3,\dots\}.$ It is assumed that the potential belongs to class $\mathcal A_b,$ i.e. it is real valued, vanishes when…
We discuss discrete one-dimensional Schr\"odinger operators whose potentials are generated by an invertible ergodic transformation of a compact metric space and a continuous real-valued sampling function. We pay particular attention to the…
We characterize the potential V (x) that minimizes the fundamental spectral gap of weighted Schr\"odinger operators on the interval [0,{\pi}] subject to Dirichlet boundary conditions, under the constraint that the potential V (x) is convex…
We study spectral properties of Schr\"odinger operators on $\RR^d$. The electromagnetic potential is assumed to be determined locally by a colouring of the lattice points in $\ZZ^d$, with the property that frequencies of finite patterns are…
Schr\"odinger operators often display singularities at the origin, the Coulomb problem in atomic physics or the various matter coupling terms in the Friedmann-Robertson-Walker problem being prominent examples. For various applications it…
We study edge states of a random Schroedinger operator for an electron submitted to a magnetic field in a finite macroscopic two dimensional system of linear dimensions equal to L. The y direction is L-periodic and in the x direction the…
Non-zero curvature in a waveguide leads to the appearance of an attractive quantum potential which crucially affects the dynamics in matter-wave circuits. Using methods of supersymmetric quantum mechanics, pairs of bent waveguides are found…
