We study a class of PT-symmetric semiclassical Schr\"odinger operators, which are perturbations of a selfadjoint one. Here, we treat the case where the unperturbed operator has a double-well potential. In the simple well case, two of the…
We study two-dimensional magnetic Schr\"odinger operators with a magnetic field that is equal to b>0 for x > 0 and (-b) for x < 0. This magnetic Schr\"odinger operator exhibits a magnetic barrier at x=0. The unperturbed system is invariant…

Resonant solutions of the quantum Schr\"odinger equation occur at complex energies where the S-matrix becomes singular. Knowledge of such resonances is important in the study of the underlying physical system. Often the Schr\"odinger…

In recent joint work with Vasy, we analyze the low energy behavior of differential form-valued waves on black hole spacetimes. In order to deduce asymptotics and decay from this, one in addition needs high energy estimates for the wave…
we obtain the asympotics for the counting function of resonances for a matrix valued schrodinger operator in dimension one.
Eigenvalue problems for semidefinite operators with infinite dimensional kernels appear for instance in electromagnetics. Variational discretizations with edge elements have long been analyzed in terms of a discrete compactness property. As…
We investigate the spectrum of a soft quantum waveguide in two dimensions of the generalized `bookcover' shape, that is, Schr\"odinger operator with the potential in the form of a ditch consisting of a finite curved part and straight…
We find an asymptotic expression for the first eigenvalue of the biharmonic operator on a long thin rectangle. This is done by finding lower and upper bounds which become increasingly accurate with increasing length. The lower bound is…

An analytical perturbative method is suggested for solving the Helmholtz equation (\bigtriangledown^{2} + k^{2}){\psi} = 0 in two dimensions where {\psi} vanishes on an irregular closed curve. We can thus find the energy levels of a quantum…
Given $n\geq 2$, we put $r=\min\{i\in\mathbb{N}; i>n/2 \}$. Let $\Sigma$ be acompact, $C^{r}$-smooth surface in $\mathbb{R}^{n}$ which contains the origin. Let further $\{S_{\epsilon}\}_{0\le\epsilon<\eta}$ be a family of measurable subsets…

Using a combination of multipole methods and the method of matched asymptotics, we present a solution procedure for acoustic plane wave scattering by a single Helmholtz resonator in two dimensions. Closed-form representations for the…
It is known that convergence of l.s.b. closed symmetric sesquilinear forms implies norm resolvent convergence of the associated self-adjoint operators and this in turn convergence of discrete spectra. In this paper in both cases sharp…
