We study the quasi-periodic Schr\"odinger operator $$ -\psi"(x) + V(x) \psi(x) = E \psi(x), \qquad x \in \mathbb{R} $$ in the regime of "small" $V(x) = \sum_{m\in\mathbb{Z}^\nu}c(m)\exp (2\pi i m\omega x)$, $\omega = (\omega_1, \dots,…
Based on the recent work \cite{KKK} for compact potentials, we develop the spectral theory for the one-dimensional discrete Schr\"odinger operator $$ H \phi = (-\De + V)\phi=-(\phi_{n+1} + \phi_{n-1} - 2 \phi_n) + V_n \phi_n. $$ We show…
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…
We consider a magnetic Schr\"odinger operator $H^h$, depending on the semiclassical parameter $h>0$, on a two-dimensional Riemannian manifold. We assume that there is no electric field. We suppose that the minimal value $b_0$ of the…
In this paper, we establish a condition on the coefficients of differential operators generated in the space of square-integrable functions on the entire real line by an ordinary differential expression with periodic, complex-valued…
The behavior of the discrete spectrum of the Schr\"odinger operator $-\D - V$, in quite a general setting, up to a large extent is determined by the behavior of the corresponding heat kernel $P(t;x,y)$ as $t\to 0$ and $t\to\infty$. If this…
We study the Schr\"odinger operator on $L_2(\mathbb R^3)$ with periodic variable metric, and periodic electric and magnetic fields. It is assumed that the operator is reflection symmetric and the (appropriately defined) flux of the magnetic…
In this paper, we study one of the fundamental notions in dynamical systems, the shadowing of invertible (bounded and linear) operators on a Hilbert space. Although the problem of finding a spectral characterization for shadowing has been…
We prove a quantitative unique continuation principle for Schr\"odinger operators $H=-\Delta+V$ on $\mathrm{L}^2(\Omega)$, where $\Omega$ is an open subset of $\mathbb{R}^d$ and $V$ is a singular potential: $V \in \mathrm{L}^\infty(\Omega)…
The differential expression $L_m=-\partial_x^2 +(m^2-1/4)x^{-2}$ defines a self-adjoint operator H_m on L^2(0;\infty) in a natural way when $m^2 \geq 1$. We study the dependence of H_m on the parameter m, show that it has a unique…
We consider selfadjoint operators obtained by pasting a finite number of boundary relations with one-dimensional boundary space. A typical example of such an operator is the Schr\"odinger operator on a star-graph with a finite number of…
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…
Given a complex, separable Hilbert space $\mathcal{H}$, we characterize those operators for which $\| P T (I-P) \| = \| (I-P) T P \|$ for all orthogonal projections $P$ on $\mathcal{H}$. When $\mathcal{H}$ is finite-dimensional, we also…

This article is devoted to the spectral analysis of the electro-magnetic Schr\"odinger operator on the Euclidean plane. In the semiclassical limit, we derive a pseudo-differential effective operator that allows us to describe the spectrum…
We investigate the spectral properties of self-adjoint Schr\"odinger operators with attractive $\delta$-interactions of constant strength $\alpha > 0$ supported on conical surfaces in ${\mathbb R}^3$. It is shown that the essential spectrum…
We consider the fourth order Schr\"odinger operator $H=\Delta^2+V(x)$ in three dimensions with real-valued potential $V$. Let $H_0=\Delta^2$, if $V$ decays sufficiently and there are no eigenvalues or resonances in the absolutely continuous…
In this paper we consider two classes of random Hamiltonians on $L^2(\RR^d)$ one that imitates the lattice case and the other a Schr\"odinger operator with non-decaying, non-sparse potential both of which exhibit a.c. spectrum. In the…
In 1980, Gasymov showed that non-self-adjoint Hill operators with complex-valued periodic potentials of the type $V(x)=\sum_{k=1}^{\infty} a_k e^{ikx}$, with $\sum_{k=1}^{\infty}|a_k|<\infty$, have spectra $[0, \infty)$. In this note, we…
