We consider Schr\"odinger operators on a bounded, smooth domain of dimension $d \ge 2$ with Dirichlet boundary conditions and a properly scaled potential, which depends only on the distance to the boundary of the domain. Our aim is to…

This note concerns the nodal sets of eigenfunctions of semiclassical Schr\"odinger operators acting on compact, smooth, Riemannian manifolds, with no boundary. We prove that if H is a separating hypersurface that lies inside the classically…

We are consider domains in cotangent bundles with the property that the null foliation of their boundary is fibrating and the leaves satisfy a Bohr-Sommerfeld condition (for example, the unit disk bundle of a Zoll metric). Given such a…

We consider the ground state $\phi_0$ of the Schr\"odinger operator $L=-\Delta+V$ on the bounded convex domain $\Omega\subset\R^n$, satisfying the Dirichlet boundary condition. Assume that $V\in C^1(\Omega)$ and it admits an even function…

We numerically investigate the generalized Steklov problem for the modified Helmholtz equation and focus on the relation between its spectrum and the geometric structure of the domain. We address three distinct aspects: (i) the asymptotic…

We establish the Hopf boundary point lemma for the Schr\"odinger operator $-\Delta + V$ involving potentials $V$ that merely belong to the space $L^{1}_{loc}(\Omega)$. More precisely, we prove that among all supersolutions $u$ of $-\Delta +…

Given an open set $\Omega\subset\mathbb{R}^3$. We deal with the spectral study of Dirac operators of the form $H_{a,\tau}=H+A_{a,\tau}\delta_{\partial\Omega}$, where $H$ is the free Dirac operator in $\mathbb{R}^3$, $A_{a,\tau}$ is a…
