The Anderson Hamiltonian $H_0=-\Delta+V(x,\omega)$ is considered, where $V$ is a random potential of Bernoulli type. The operator $H_0$ is perturbed by a non-random, continuous potential $-w(x) \leq 0$, decaying at infinity. It will be…
Second-order estimates are established for solutions to the $p$-Laplace system with right-hand side in $L^2$. The nonlinear expression of the gradient under the divergence operator is shown to belong to $W^{1,2}$, and hence to enjoy the…
We consider the fractional Laplacian on a domain and investigate the asymptotic behavior of its eigenvalues. Extending methods from semi-classical analysis we are able to prove a two-term formula for the sum of eigenvalues with the leading…
We consider the Cauchy problem for the fourth order cubic nonlinear Schr\"odinger equation (4NLS). The main goal of this paper is to prove low regularity well-posedness and mild ill-posedness for (4NLS). We prove three results. First, we…

The Stark effect in hydrogen and the cubic anharmonic oscillator furnish examples of quantum systems where the perturbation results in a certain ionization probability by tunneling processes. Accordingly, the perturbed ground-state energy…
We study oscillations in the eigenfunctions for a fractional Schr\"odinger operator on the real line. An argument in the spirit of Courant's nodal domain theorem applies to an associated local problem in the upper half plane and provides a…
This work extends monotonicity-based methods in inverse problems to the case of the Helmholtz (or stationary Schr\"odinger) equation $(\Delta + k^2 q) u = 0$ in a bounded domain for fixed non-resonance frequency $k>0$ and real-valued…
The main mathematical manifestation of the Stark effect in quantum mechanics is the shift and the formation of clusters of eigenvalues when a spherical Hamiltonian is perturbed by lower order terms. Understanding this mechanism turned out…
We find the high energy asymptotics for the singular Weyl--Titchmarsh m-functions and the associated spectral measures of perturbed spherical Schr\"odinger operators (also known as Bessel operators). We apply this result to establish an…
We introduce a new two-parameter fractional time operator with Volterra structure, denoted by the W-operator, defined through a generalized Laplace symbol. The operator preserves the Caputo-type high-frequency behavior while allowing a…
In this paper we analyze an eigenvalue problem related to the nonlocal $p-$laplace operator plus a potential. After reviewing some elementary properties of the first eigenvalue of these operators (existence, positivity of associated…
The singular real second order 1D Schrodinger operators are considered here with such potentials that all local solutions near singularities to the eigenvalue problem are meromorphic for all values of the spectral parameter. All…
We study a Schrodinger particle in an infinite spherical well with an oscillating wall. Parametric resonances emerge when the oscillation frequency is equal to the energy difference between two eigenstates of the static cavity. Whereas an…
We analyze the behavior of the eigenvalues and eigenfunctions of the Laplace operator with homogeneous Neumann boundary conditions when the domain is perturbed. We focus on exterior perturbations of the domain, that is, the limit domain is…
In this paper, we establish the non-positivity of the second eigenvalue of the Schr\"odinger operator $-\textrm{div}\big( P_r \nabla\cdot\big) - W_r^2$ on a closed hypersurface $\Sigma^n$ of $\mathbb{R}^{n+1}$, where $W_r$ is a power of the…
We strengthen and generalise a result of Kirsch and Simon on the behaviour of the function $N_L(E)$, the number of bound states of the operator $L = \Delta+V$ in $\R^d$ below $-E$. Here $V$ is a bounded potential behaving asymptotically…

We establish the existence of static doubly periodic patterns (in particular rolls, rectangles and hexagons) on the free surface of a ferrofluid near onset of the Rosensweig instability, assuming a general (nonlinear) magnetisation law. A…
A version of the Cauchy-Schwarz inequality in operator theory is the following: for any two symmetric, positive definite matrices $A,B \in \mathbb{R}^{n \times n}$ and arbitrary $X \in \mathbb{R}^{n \times n}$ $$ \|AXB\| \leq \|A^2…
