We consider an electron moving in a periodic potential and subject to an additional slowly varying external electrostatic potential, $\phi(\epsi x)$, and vector potential $A(\epsi x)$, with $x \in \R^d$ and $\epsi \ll 1$. We prove that…
We revisit the celebrated Peierls-Onsager substitution employing the magnetic pseudo-differential calculus for weak magnetic fields with no spatial decay conditions, when the non-magnetic symbols have a certain spatial periodicity. We show…
We consider periodic (pseudo)differential {elliptic operators of Schr\"odinger type} perturbed by weak magnetic fields not vanishing at infinity, and extend our previous analysis in \cite{CIP,CHP-2,CHP-4} to the case {of a semimetal having…
We consider a $2d$ magnetic Schr\"odinger operator perturbed by a weak magnetic field which slowly varies around a positive mean. In a previous paper we proved the appearance of a `Landau type' structure of spectral islands at the bottom of…
We construct almost invariant subspaces and the corresponding effective Hamiltonian for magnetic Bloch bands. We also discuss the question of the dynamics related to the effective Hamiltonian. We assume that the magnetic and electric…
We formulate a general version of the Peierls-Onsager substitution for a finite family of Bloch eigenvalues under a local spectral gap hypothesis, via strongly localized tight-frames and magnetic matrices. This extends the existing results…
We study approximate solutions to the Schr\"odinger equation $i\epsi\partial\psi_t(x)/\partial t = H(x,-i\epsi\nabla_x) \psi_t(x)$ with the Hamiltonian given as the Weyl quantization of the symbol $H(q,p)$ taking values in the space of…
A local perturbation theory for the spectral analysis of the Schr\"odinger operator with two periodic potentials whose periods are commensurable has been constructed. It has been shown that the perturbation of the periodic 1D Hamiltonian by…
Using the procedures in \cite{Bu} and \cite{GMS} and the magnetic pseudodifferential calculus we have developped in \cite{MP1,MPR1,IMP1,IMP2} we construct an effective Hamitonian that describes the spectrum in any compact subset of the real…
We develop a comprehensive theory for the effective dynamics of Bloch electrons based on symmetry. We begin with a scheme to systematically derive the irreducible representations (IRs) characterizing the Bloch functions. Starting from a…
In solid state physics, electronic properties of crystalline materials are often inferred from the spectrum of periodic Schr\"odinger operators. As a consequence of Bloch's theorem, the numerical computation of electronic quantities of…
We consider a periodic self-adjoint pseudo-differential operator $H=(-\Delta)^m+B$, $m>0$, in $\R^d$ which satisfies the following conditions: (i) the symbol of $B$ is smooth in $\bx$, and (ii) the perturbation $B$ has order less than $2m$.…
We consider Schr\"odinger operators $H^h = (ih d+{\bf A})^* (ih d+{\bf A})$ with the periodic magnetic field ${\bf B}=d{\bf A}$ on covering spaces of compact manifolds. Under some assumptions on $\bf B$, we prove that there are arbitrarily…
The problem of two-dimensional, independent electrons subject to a periodic potential and a uniform perpendicular magnetic field unveils surprisingly rich physics, as epitomized by the fractal energy spectrum known as Hofstadter's…
Magnetic fields can be introduced into discrete models of quantum systems by the Peierls substitution. For tight-binding Hamiltonians, the substitution results in a set of (Peierls) phases that are usually calculated from the magnetic…
In this review, we show how advances in the theory of magnetic pseudodifferential operators (magnetic $\Psi$DO) can be put to good use in space-adiabatic perturbation theory (SAPT). As a particular example, we extend results of [PST03] to a…
In a partially filled flat Bloch band electrons do not have a well defined Fermi surface and hence the low-energy theory is not a Fermi liquid. Neverethless, under the influence of an attractive interaction, a superconductor well described…
We establish Lieb-Thirring type inequalities for non self-adjoint relatively compact perturbations of certain operators of mathematical physics. We apply our results to quantum Hamiltonians of Schr{\"o}dinger and Pauli with constant…
We propose a generalized Peierls substitution method in conjunction with the tight-binding model to explore the magnetic quantization and quantum Hall effect in twisted multilayer graphene under a magnetic field. The Bloch-basis…
It is well known that a particle in a periodic potential with an additional constant force performs Bloch oscillations. Modulating every second period of the potential, the original Bloch band splits into two subbands. The dynamics of…
