We study the heat kernel $p(x,y,t)$ associated to the real Schr\"odinger operator $H = -\Delta + V$ on $L^2(\mathbb{R}^n)$, $n \geq 1$. Our main result is a pointwise upper bound on $p$ when the potential $V \in A_\infty$. In the case that…

Given a complex, separable Hilbert space $\cH$, we consider differential expressions of the type $\tau = - (d^2/dx^2) + V(x)$, with $x \in (a,\infty)$ or $x \in \bbR$. Here $V$ denotes a bounded operator-valued potential $V(\cdot) \in…

To describe a quantum system whose potential is divergent at one point, one must provide proper connection conditions for the wave functions at the singularity. Generalizing the scheme used for point interactions in one dimension, we…

We consider the higher order Schr\"odinger operator $H=(-\Delta)^m+V(x)$ in $n$ dimensions with real-valued potential $V$ when $n>2m$, $m\in \mathbb N$. We adapt our recent results for $m>1$ to show that the wave operators are bounded on…

We discuss spectral properties of the one-dimensional Schr\"odinger operator with a potential of the form $\sum V(n)\delta(x-n)$. Our main result says that the absolutely continuous spectum of such an operator covers an interval…

We analyze the (discrete) spectrum of the semirelativistic ``spinless-Salpeter'' Hamiltonian H = \beta \sqrt{m^2 + p^2} + V(r), beta > 0, where V(r) represents an attractive, spherically symmetric potential in three dimensions. In order to…

We study the $n$-dimensional Schr\"odinger equation with singular potential $V_\lambda(x)=\lambda |x|^{-2}$. Its solution space is studied as a global representation of $\widetilde{SL(2,\R)}\times O(n)$. A special subspace of solutions for…

We consider the Schr\"odinger operator $H(\mu) = \nabla_{\bf A}^*\nabla_{\bf A} + \mu V$ on a Riemannian manifold $M$ of bounded geometry, where $\mu>0$ is a coupling parameter, the magnetic field ${\bf B}=d{\bf A}$ and the electric…

The threshold behaviour of negative eigenvalues for Schr\"{o}dinger operators of the type $$ H_\lambda=-\frac{d^2}{dx^2}+U(x)+\lambda\alpha_\lambda V(\alpha_\lambda x) $$ is considered. The potentials $U$ and $V$ are real-valued bounded…

We prove upper bounds on the number of resonances and eigenvalues of Schr\"odinger operators $-\Delta+V$ with complex-valued potentials, where $d\geq 3$ is odd. The novel feature of our upper bounds is that they are \emph{effective}, in the…

We consider a one--particle bound quantum mechanical system governed by a Schr\"odinger operator $\mathscr{H} = -\Delta + v\,f(r)$, where $f(r)$ is an attractive central potential, and $v>0$ is a coupling parameter. If $\phi \in…

We establish sharp (or `refined') comparison theorems for the Klein--Gordon equation. We show that the condition $V_a\le V_b$, which leads to $E_a\le E_b$, can be replaced by the weaker assumption $U_a\le U_b$ which still implies the…

A recently proposed algorithm to obtain global solutions of the double confluent Heun equation is applied to solve the quantum mechanical problem of finding the energies and wave functions of a particle bound in a potential sum of a…

On a Lie group $G$, we investigate the discreteness of the spectrum of Schr\"odinger operators of the form $\mathcal{L} +V$, where $\mathcal{L}$ is a subelliptic sub-Laplacian on $G$ and the potential $V$ is a locally integrable function…

In this note we review spectral properties of magnetic random Schroedinger operators H_omega=H_0+V_omega + U_l + U_r defined on L^2(R x [-L/2,L/2],dx dy) with periodic boundary conditions along y. U_l and U_r are two confining potentials…

For Schr\"odinger operator $H=-\Delta+ V({\mathbf x})\cdot$, acting in the space $L_2(\mathbb R^d)\,(d\ge 3)$, necessary and sufficient conditions for semi-boundedness and discreteness of its spectrum.are obtained without assumption that…

The purpose of this paper is twofold: firstly, we present a new type of relationship between inverse problems and nonlinear differential equations. Secondly, we introduce a new type of inverse spectral problem, posed as follows: for a…

The goal of this paper is the spectral analysis of the Schr\"{o}dinger type operator $H=L+V$, the perturbation of the Taibleson-Vladimirov multiplier $L=\mathfrak{D}^{\alpha}$ by a potential $V$. Assuming that $V$ belongs to a certain class…

The spectral potential is the dynamical generalization of the Kohn-Sham potential. It targets, in principle exactly, the spectral function in addition to the electronic density. Here we examine the spectral potential in one of the simplest…
