We study resonance for the Helmholz equation with a finite frequency in a plasmonic material of negative dielectric constant in two and three dimensions. We show that the quasi-static approximation is valid for diametrically small…
We are concerned with an harmonic analysis in Hilbert spaces $L^2(\mu)$, where $\mu$ is a probability measure on $\br^n$. The unifying question is the presence of families of orthogonal (complex) exponentials $e_\lambda(x) = \exp(2\pi i…
The Mott metal-insulator transition in the two-band Hubbard model in infinite dimensions is studied by using the linearized dynamical mean-field theory. The discontinuity in the chemical potential for the change from hole to electron doping…
We give estimates for the approximation numbers of composition operators on $H^2$, in terms of some modulus of continuity. For symbols whose image is contained in a polygon, we get that these approximation numbers are dominated by $\e^{- c…

The dynamical mean-field theory (DMFT) is employed to study the Mott transition in the semi-infinite Hubbard model at half-filling and zero temperature. We consider the low-index surfaces of the three-dimensional simple-cubic lattice and…
Let $L^2(D)$ be the space of measurable square-summable functions on the unit disk. Let $L^2_a(D)$ be the Bergman space, i.e., the (closed) subspace of analytic functions in $L^2(D)$. $P_+$ stays for the orthogonal projection going from…
Thermodynamic and dynamical properties of filling-control metal-insulator transition (MIT) in the Hubbard model are studied by the operator projection method, especially in two dimensions. This is a non-perturbative analytic approach to…
We present a simple construction of a random Schr\"odinger operator subject to a magnetic field with a regularity as low as $0^-$-H\"older and a Gaussian white noise electric potential on a two-dimensional bounded box. This construction is…

We obtain a complete asymptotic expansion of the integrated density of states of operators of the form H =(-\Delta)^w +B in R^d. Here w >0, and B belongs to a wide class of almost-periodic self-adjoint pseudo-differential operators of order…
Based on a thorough numerical analysis of the spectrum of Harper's operator, which describes, e.g., an electron on a two-dimensional lattice subjected to a magnetic field perpendicular to the lattice plane, we make the following conjecture:…
Unusual metallic states involving breakdown of the standard Fermi-liquid picture of long-lived quasiparticles in well-defined band states emerge at low temperatures near correlation-driven Mott transitions. Prominent examples are…
We prove that the 2-body operator $\gamma_2^\Psi$ of a fermionic $N$-particle state $\Psi$ obeys $||\gamma_2^\Psi||_{HS} \leq \sqrt{5} N$, which complements the bound of Yang that $||\gamma_2^\Psi||_{op} \leq N$. This estimate furthermore…
We consider transfer operators for topological Markov shift (TMS) with countable states and with holes which are $2$-cylinders. As main results, if the closed system of the shift has finitely irreducible transition matrix and the potential…
