We discuss discrete one-dimensional Schr\"odinger operators whose potentials are generated by an invertible ergodic transformation of a compact metric space and a continuous real-valued sampling function. We pay particular attention to 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 are concerned with the non-normal Schr\"odinger operator $$ H=-\Delta+V $$ on $ L^2(\mathbb R^n)$, where $V\in W^{1,\infty}_{\text{loc}}(\mathbb{R}^n)$ and $\operatorname{Re} (V(x))\ge c|x|^2-d$ for some $c,d>0$. The spectrum of this…

We derive necessary and sufficient conditions for a one-dimensional periodic Schr\"odinger (i.e., Hill) operator H=-d^2/dx^2+V in L^2(R) to be a spectral operator of scalar type. The conditions demonstrate the remarkable fact that the…

For non-self-adjoint almost-periodic Schr\"odinger operators, a criterion is given to guarantee that they have both the same spectrum and same Lyapunov exponents with the discrete free Laplacian. As a byproduct, we show that the…

We introduce the periodic Airy-Schr\"odinger operator and we study its band spectrum. This is an example of an explicitly solvable model with a periodic potential which is not differentiable at its minima and maxima. We define a…

We consider a periodic system of domains coupled by small windows. In such domain we study the band spectrum of a Schroedinger operator subject to Neumann condition. We show that near each isolated eigenvalue of the similar operator but in…

The goal of this note is to study the spectrum of a self-adjoint convolution operator in $L^2(\mathbb R^d)$ with an integrable kernel that is perturbed by an essentially bounded real-valued potential tending to zero at infinity. We show…

We study various spectral theoretic aspects of non-self-adjoint operators. Specifically, we consider a class of factorable non-self-adjoint perturbations of a given unperturbed non-self-adjoint operator and provide an in-depth study of a…

We consider discrete one-dimensional Schr\"odinger operators with strictly ergodic, aperiodic potentials taking finitely many values. The well-known tendency of these operators to have purely singular continuous spectrum of zero Lebesgue…

Let $H$ be the discrete Schr\"odinger operator $Hu(n):=u(n-1)+u(n+1)+v(n)u(n)$, $u(0)=0$ acting on $l^2({\bf Z}^+)$ where the potential $v$ is real-valued and $v(n)\to 0$ as $n\to \infty$. Let $P$ be the orthogonal projection onto a closed…

The approximation of the eigenvalues and eigenfunctions of an elliptic operator is a key computational task in many areas of applied mathematics and computational physics. An important case, especially in quantum physics, is the computation…

We analyze the singular spectrum of selfadjoint operators which arise from pasting a finite number of boundary relations with a standard interface condition. A model example for this situation is a Schroedinger operator on a star-shaped…

We study the spectrum of random ergodic Schroedinger-type operators in the weak disorder regime. We give upper and lower bounds on how much the spectrum expands at its bottom for very general perturbations. The background operator is…

We use trace class scattering theory to exclude the possibility of absolutely continuous spectrum in a large class of self-adjoint operators with an underlying hierarchical structure and provide applications to certain random hierarchical…

We show that formal Schr\"odinger operators with singular potentials from the space W^{-1}_{2,unif}(R) can be naturally defined to give selfadjoint and bounded below operators, which depend continuously in the uniform resolvent sense on the…

Finite rank perturbations of a semi-bounded self-adjoint operator A are studied in the scale of Hilbert spaces associated with A. A concept of quasi-boundary value space is used to describe self-adjoint operator realizations of regular and…
