The presence of chiral modes on the edges of quantum Hall samples is essential to our understanding of the quantum Hall effect. In particular, these edge modes should support ballistic transport and therefore, in a single particle picture,…

We consider the scattering problem for a class of strongly singular Schr\"odinger operators in $L^2(\mathbb{R}R^3)$ which can be formally written as $H_{\alpha,\Gamma}= -\Delta + \delta_\alpha(x-\Gamma)$ where $\alpha\in\mathbb{R}$ is the…
We locate gaps in the spectrum of a Hamiltonian on a periodic cuboidal (and generally hyperrectangular) lattice graph with $\delta$ couplings in the vertices. We formulate sufficient conditions under which the number of gaps is finite. As…
A one-dimensional discrete Stark Hamiltonian with a continuous electric field is constructed by extension theory methods. In absence of the impurities the model is proved to be exactly solvable, the spectrum is shown to be simple,…
A quantum system subject to an external perturbation can experience leakage between uncoupled regions of its energy spectrum separated by a gap. To quantify this phenomenon, we present two complementary results. First, we establish…
