In this note we provide an explicit lower bound on the spectral gap of one-dimensional Schr\"odinger operators with non-negative bounded potentials and subject to Neumann boundary conditions.
An external magnetic field is found to have strong effects on the electronic structure of carbon nanotubes. A field-induced metal-insulator transition is predicted for all pure nanotubes. In a weak field, nanotubes exhibit both large…

We prove Lieb-Thirring-type bounds for fractional Schr\"odinger operators and Dirac operators with complex-valued potentials. The main new ingredient is a resolvent bound in Schatten spaces for the unperturbed operator, in the spirit of…
We consider discrete Schr\"odinger operators with periodic potentials on periodic graphs perturbed by guided non-positive potentials, which are periodic in some directions and finitely supported in other ones. The spectrum of the…
The determination of the spectrum of a Schr\"odinger operator is a fundamental problem in mathematical quantum mechanics. We discuss a series of results showing that Schr\"odinger operators can exhibit spectra that are remarkably thin in…
We study spectra of alloy-type random Schr\"odinger operators on metric graphs. For finite edge subsets of general graphs we prove a Wegner estimate which is linear in the volume (i.e. the number of edges) and the length of the considered…
We consider Schr\"odinger operators with complex decaying potentials (in general, not from trace class) on the lattice. We determine trace formulae and estimate of eigenvalues and singular measure in terms of potentials. The proof is based…
We describe a broad class of bounded non-periodic potentials in one-dimensional stationary quantum mechanics having the same spectral properties as periodic potentials. The spectrum of the corresponding Schroedinger operator consists of a…
We study the quantum dynamics of ballistic electrons in rotating carbon nanotubes in the presence of a uniform magnetic field. When the field is parallel to the nanotube axis, the rotation-induced electric field brings about the spin-orbit…
We present an overview of strong correlations in single-wall carbon nanotubes, and an introduction to the techniques used to study them theoretically. We concentrate on zigzag nanotubes, although universality dictates that much ofthe theory…
The spectra of the Schr\"odinger operators with periodic potentials are studied. When the potential is real and periodic, the spectrum consists of at most countably many line segments (energy bands) on the real line, while when the…
Positivity, essential self-adjointness, and spectral properties of a class of Schroedinger operators with multipolar inverse-square potentials are discussed. In particular a necessary and sufficient condition on the masses of singularities…
We study singular Schr\"odinger operators on a finite interval as selfadjoint extensions of a symmetric operator. We give sufficient conditions for the symmetric operator to be in the $n$-entire class, which was defined in our previous…
We present, to the best of our knowledge, the first numerical algorithm for explicit, computable two-sided eigenvalue bounds for Schr\"odinger operators H = -Delta + V on R^N, N = 2,3, in the presence of both an unbounded potential and an…
In their recent paper [Phys. Rev. A 71, 033622], B. T. Seaman et al. studied Bloch states of the condensate wave function in a Kronig-Penney potential and calculated the band structure. They argued that the effective mass is always positive…
Schr\"odinger operators with periodic (possibly complex-valued) potentials and discrete periodic operators (possibly with complex-valued entries) are considered, and in both cases the computational spectral problem is investigated: namely,…
We study sufficient conditions for the absence of positive eigenvalues of magnetic Schr\"odinger operators in $\mathbb{R}^d,\, d\geq 2$. In our main result we prove the absence of eigenvalues above certain threshold energy which depends…
An upper estimate for the number of negative eigenvalues below the essential spectrum for the magnetic Schr\"odinger operator with Aharonov-Bohm magnetic field in a strip is obtained. Its further shown that the estimate does not hold in…
We prove essential self-adjointness for semi-bounded below magnetic Schr\"odinger operators on complete Riemannian manifolds with a given positive smooth measure which is fixed independently of the metric. Some singularities of the scalar…
