A variant for the Hilbert and Polya spectral interpretation of the Riemann zeta function is proposed. Instead of looking for a self-adjoint linear operator H, whose spectrum coincides with the Riemann zeta zeros, we look for the complex…

We study the quantum mechanical harmonic oscillator in two and three dimensions, with particular attention to the solutions as represents of their respective symmetry groups: O(2), O(3), and O(2,1). Solving the Schrodinger equation by…

We consider operators of the form H+V where H is the one-dimensional harmonic oscillator and V is a zero-order pseudo-differential operator which is quasi-periodic in an appropriate sense (one can take V to be multiplication by a periodic…

We show that the analytic continuations of Helson zeta functions $ \zeta_\chi (s)= \sum_1^{\infty}\chi(n)n^{-s} $ can have essentially arbitrary poles and zeroes in the strip $ 21/40 < \Re s < 1 $ (unconditionally), and in the whole…

We construct a class of representations of the Heisenberg algebra in terms of the complex shift operators subject to the proper continuous limit imposed by the correspondence principle. We find a suitable Hilbert space formulation of our…

For the discrete Schr\"odinger operator we obtain sharp estimates for the number of negative eigenvalues.

We establish a deep connection between the Prandtl equations linearised around a quadratic shear flow, confluent hypergeometric functions of the first kind, and the Schr\"odinger operator. Our first result concerns an ODE and a spectral…

We show that in d>1 dimensions the N-particle kinetic energy operator with periodic boundary conditions has symmetric eigenfunctions which vanish at particle encounters, and give a full description of these functions. In two and three…

Let $(\lambda_-,\lambda_+)$ be a spectral gap of a periodic Schr\"odinger operator $A$ on the lattice ${\mathbb Z}^d$. Consider the operator $A(\alpha)=A-\alpha V$ where $V$ is a decaying positive potential on ${\mathbb Z}^d$. We study the…

The problem of absence of eigenvalues imbedded into the continuous spectrum is considered for a Schr\"{o}dinger operator with a periodic potential perturbed by a sufficiently fast decaying ``impurity'' potential. Results of this type have…

We study the spectral zeta functions associated to the radial Schr\"odinger problem with potential V(x)=x^{2M}+alpha x^{M-1}+(lambda^2-1/4)/x^2. Using the quantum Wronskian equation, we provide results such as closed-form evaluations for…

It is well known that an (in general, non-commutative) set of non-Hermitian operators $\Lambda_j$ with real eigenvalues need not necessarily represent observables. We describe a specific class of quantum models in which these operators plus…

We study small, PT-symmetric perturbations of self-adjoint double-well Schr\"odinger operators in dimension $n\geq 1$. We prove that the eigenvalues stay real for a very small perturbation, then bifurcate to the complex plane as the…

A model operator $H$ corresponding to a three-particle discrete Schr\"odinger operator on a lattice $\Z^3$ is studied. The essential spectrum is described via the spectrum of two Friedrichs models with parameters $h_\alpha(p),$…

We give a partially alternate proof of the reality of the spectrum of the imaginary cubic oscillator in quantum mechanics.

Let $H_0$ be a purely absolutely continuous selfadjoint operator acting on some separable infinite-dimensional Hilbert space and $V$ be a compact non-selfadjoint perturbation. We relate the regularity properties of $V$ to various spectral…

In this work, we study the spectral properties of matrix Hamiltonians generated by linearizing the nonlinear Schr\"odinger equation about soliton solutions. By a numerically assisted proof, we show that there are no embedded eigenvalues for…

The Hamiltonian of a system of two quantum mechanical particles moving on the $d$-dimensional lattice $\Z^d$ and interacting via zero-range attractive pair potentials is considered. For the two-particle energy operator $H_{\mu}(K),$ $K\in…

We propose a q-deformation of the su(2)-invariant Schrodinger equation of a spinless particle in a central potential, which allows us not only to determine a deformed spectrum and the corresponding eigenstates, as in other approaches, but…

We study the sum $\ds\zeta_H(s)=\sum_j E_j^{-s}$ over the eigenvalues $E_j$ of the Schrdinger equation in a spherical domain with Dirichlet walls, threaded by a line of magnetic flux. Rather than using Green's function techniques, we tackle…
