This is the last paper in a series of three in which we have studied the Peierls substitution in the case of a weak magnetic field. Here we deal with two $2d$ Bloch eigenvalues which have a conical crossing. It turns out that in the…
We describe the spectrum of a non-self-adjoint elliptic system on a finite interval. Under certain conditions we find that the eigenvalues form a discrete set and converge asymptotically at infinity to one of several straight lines. The…
We consider Schroedinger operator $-\Delta+V$ in $R^d$ ($d\ge 2$) with smooth periodic potential $V$ and prove that there are only finitely many gaps in its spectrum.
The conjecture is verified that the optimum, energy minimizing magnetic flux for a half-filled band of electrons hopping on a planar, bipartite graph is $\pi$ per square plaquette. We require {\it only} that the graph has periodicity in one…
We continue the investigation of the existence of absolutely continuous (a.c.) spectrum for the discrete Schr\"odinger operator $\Delta+V$ on $\ell^2(\Z^d)$, in dimensions $d\geq 2$, for potentials $V$ satisfying the long range condition…
We provide a precise description of the bottom of the spectrum in the semiclassical limit of a harmonic-type Schr\"odinger operator with an inverse square potential. By exploiting the connection between the eigenfunctions of these operators…
We consider the quantum graph Hamiltonian on the square lattice in Euclidean space, and we show that the spectrum of the Hamiltonian converges to the corresponding Schr\"odinger operator on the Euclidean space in the continuum limit, and…
We consider the operator $H={d^4dt^4}+{ddt}p{ddt}+q$ with 1-periodic coefficients on the real line. The spectrum of $H$ is absolutely continuous and consists of intervals separated by gaps. We describe the spectrum of this operator in terms…
It is shown that for a given infinite graph $G$ on countably many vertices, and a compact, infinite set of real numbers $\Lambda$ there is a real symmetric matrix $A$ whose graph is $G$ and its spectrum is $\Lambda$. Moreover, the set of…
The spectrum of the Dirichlet Laplacian on conical layers is analysed through two aspects: the infiniteness of the discrete eigenvalues and their expansions in the small aperture limit. On the one hand, we prove that, for any aperture, the…
We prove the Fundamental Gap Conjecture, which states that the difference between the first two Dirichlet eigenvalues (the spectral gap) of a Schr\"odinger operator with convex potential and Dirichlet boundary data on a convex domain is…
We consider stochastic differential equations, obtained by adding weak Gaussian white noise to ordinary differential equations admitting $N$ asymptotically stable periodic orbits. We construct a discrete-time, continuous-space Markov chain,…

Merrifield's Variational Ansatz is extended so as to cover the case of two electronic bands mixed by an Einstein phonon. The Hamiltonian is composed of the local and kinetic (hopping) energies in the absence of vibrations, the vibrational…
For piecewise expanding one-dimensional maps without periodic turning points we prove that isolated eigenvalues of small (random) perturbations of these maps are close to isolated eigenvalues of the unperturbed system. (Here ``eigenvalue''…
