We consider an electron moving in a periodic potential and subject to an additional slowly varying external electrostatic potential, $\phi(\epsi x)$, and vector potential $A(\epsi x)$, with $x \in \R^d$ and $\epsi \ll 1$. We prove that…
We consider a $2d$ magnetic Schr\"odinger operator perturbed by a weak magnetic field which slowly varies around a positive mean. In a previous paper we proved the appearance of a `Landau type' structure of spectral islands at the bottom of…
We prove a generalization of the well-known theorems by Borg and Hochstadt for periodic self-adjoint Schr\"odinger operators without a spectral gap, respectively, one gap in their spectrum, in the matrix-valued context. Our extension of the…
We revisit the celebrated Peierls-Onsager substitution employing the magnetic pseudo-differential calculus for weak magnetic fields with no spatial decay conditions, when the non-magnetic symbols have a certain spatial periodicity. We show…
In this article we construct a $p$-adic three dimensional Eigenvariety for the group $U(2,1)(E)$, where $E$ is a quadratic imaginary field and $p$ is inert in $E$. The Eigenvariety parametrizes Hecke eigensystems on the space of…
First, we reconsider the magnetic pseudodifferential calculus and show that for a large class of non-decaying symbols, their corresponding magnetic pseudodifferential operators can be represented, up to a global gauge transform, as…
Motivated by the analysis of gapped periodic quantum systems in presence of a uniform magnetic field in dimension $d \le 3$, we study the possibility to construct spanning sets of exponentially localized (generalized) Wannier functions for…
We consider a periodic Schr\"odinger operator in two dimensions perturbed by a weak magnetic field whose intensity slowly varies around a positive mean. We show in great generality that the bottom of the spectrum of the corresponding…
A spatially localized initial condition for an energy-conserving wave equation with periodic coefficients disperses (spatially spreads) and decays in amplitude as time advances. This dispersion is associated with the continuous spectrum of…
We study the spectral properties of ergodic Schr\"{o}dinger operators that are associated to a certain family of non-primitive substitutions on a binary alphabet. The corresponding subshifts provide examples of dynamical systems that go…
We consider a modulated discrete nonlinear Schr\"odinger (DNLS) model with alternating on-site potential, having a linear spectrum with two branches separated by a 'forbidden' gap. Nonlinear localized time-periodic solutions with…
We analyze the driven Harper model, which appears in the problem of tight-binding electrons in the Hall configuration (normal to the lattice plane magnetic field plus in-plane electric field). The presence of an electric field extends the…
We investigate the persistance of embedded eigenvalues under perturbations of a certain self-adjoint Schr\"odinger-type differential operator in $L^2(\mathbb{R};\mathbb{R}^n)$, with an asymptotically periodic potential. The studied…
In \cite{Os} a general spectral approximation theory was developed for compact operators on a Banach space which does not require that the operators be self-adjoint and also provides a first order correction term. Here we extend some of the…

We review the recent developments in the spectral theory of discrete one-dimensional Schr\"odinger operators with potentials generated by substitutions and circle maps. We discuss how occurrences of local repetitive structures allow for…
In this paper, we consider the small and large eigenvalues of the one-dimensional Schr\"odinger operator L(q) with a periodic, real and locally integrable potential q. First we explicitly write out the first and second terms of the…
