Consider a quasi-periodic Schr\"odinger operator $H_{\alpha,\theta}$ with analytic potential and irrational frequency $\alpha$. Given any rational approximating $\alpha$, let $S_+$ and $S_-$ denote the union, respectively, the intersection…

We consider a periodic self-adjoint pseudo-differential operator $H=(-\Delta)^m+B$, $m>0$, in $\R^d$ which satisfies the following conditions: (i) the symbol of $B$ is smooth in $\bx$, and (ii) the perturbation $B$ has order less than $2m$.…

We review some results concerning the semi-classical limit for the nonlinear Schrodinger equation, with or without an external potential. We consider initial data which are either of the WKB type, or very concentrated as the semi-classical…

The periodic Schrodinger operator $ H $ on a discrete periodic graph is considered. We estimate the discrete spectrum of the perturbed operator $ H _ {-} (t) = H-tV $, $ t> 0 $, where the potential $ V \ ge 0 $ is decreasing and $t>0$ is…

We construct multidimensional Schr\"odinger operators with a spectrum that has no gaps at high energies and that is nowhere dense at low energies. This gives the first example for which this widely expected topological structure of the…

We prove an explicit weighted estimate for the semiclassical Schr\"odinger operator $P = - h^2 \partial^2_x + V(x;h)$ on $L^2(\mathbb{R})$, with $V(x;h)$ a finite signed measure, and where $h >0$ is the semiclassical parameter. The proof is…

We study decaying half-line Schr\"odinger operators and the local eigenvalue spacing of their Dirichlet restrictions. While absolutely continuous spectrum is strongly associated with bulk universality and clock behavior, singular spectral…

In this note we elaborate on the asymptotic behavior of the spectral gap of a class of discrete Schr\"odinger operators defined on a path graph in the limit of infinite volume. We confirm recent results and generalize them to a larger class…

In this survey we discuss spectral and quantum dynamical properties of discrete one-dimensional Schr\"odinger operators whose potentials are obtained by real-valued sampling along the orbits of an ergodic invertible transformation. After an…

We prove that the spectrum of a Schrodinger operator that is periodic in certain directions and super-exponentially decaying in the others is purely absolutely continuous.

We provide sufficient conditions for the discreteness of spectrum for magnetic Schr\"odinger operators. They generalize the classical result by K.Friedrichs (1934) and earlier results by J.Avron, I.Herbst and B.Simon (1978), A.Dufresnoy…

We say that a discrete set $X =\{x_n\}_{n\in\dN_0}$ on the half-line $$0=x_0 < x_1 <x_2 <x_3<... <x_n<... <+\infty$$ is sparse if the distances $\Delta x_n = x_{n+1} -x_n$ between neighbouring points satisfy the condition $\frac{\Delta…

Starting from the semi-classical spectrum of Schr\"odinger operators $-h^2\Delta+V$ (on $\mathbb{R}^n$ or on a Riemannian manifold) it is possible to detect critical levels of the potential $V$. Via micro-local methods one can express…

We show that, for one-dimensional discrete Schr\"odinger operators, stability of Anderson localization under a class of rank one perturbations implies absence of intervals in spectra. The argument is based on well-known result of Gordon and…

Given a Schr\"odinger operator with a real-valued potential on a bounded, convex domain or a bounded interval we prove inequalities between the eigenvalues corresponding to Neumann and Dirichlet boundary conditions, respectively. The…

We investigate the spectral properties of Schr\"odinger operators in l^2(Z) with limit-periodic potentials. The perspective we take was recently proposed by Avila and is based on regarding such potentials as generated by continuous sampling…
