In order to popularize the so called Schwinger's method we reconsider the Feynman propagator of two non-relativistic systems: a charged particle in a uniform magnetic field and a charged harmonic oscillator in a uniform magnetic field.…
Boundedness of wave operators for Schr\"odinger operators in one space dimension for a class of singular potentials, admitting finitely many Dirac delta distributions, is proved. Applications are presented to, for example, dispersive…
We introduce the notion of Schr\"odinger integral operators and prove sharp local and global regularity results for these (including propagators for the quantum mechanical harmonic oscillator). Furthermore we introduce general classes of…
We revisit classical bounds of M. E. Fisher on the ferromagnetic Ising model, and show how to efficiently use them on an arbitrary given graph to rigorously upper-bound the partition function, magnetizations, and correlations. The results…
This study is devoted to the asymptotic spectral analysis of multiscale Schr\"odinger operators with oscillating and decaying electric potentials. Different regimes, related to scaling considerations, are distinguished. By means of a normal…
Building on our earlier work on heat kernel asymptotics for Schr\"odinger-type operators on noncompact manifolds, we establish both the classical and semiclassical Weyl laws for Schr\"odinger operators of the form $\Delta+V$ and…
The topological nature of the band structure of a Weyl semimetal leads to a number of unique transport and optical properties. For example, the description of the propagation of an electromagnetic wave in a Weyl semimetal with broken…
The numerical analysis of stochastic parabolic partial differential equations of the form $$ du + A(u) = f \,dt + g \, dW, $$ is surveyed, where $A$ is a partial operator and $W$ a Brownian motion. This manuscript unifies much of the theory…
Vertex operators for photo- and electro-production of baryon states with arbitrary spin-parity, $ \gamma + N\to B(J^P)$, are constructed. The operators obey gauge invariance and analyticity constraints. Analyticity is realized as a…
Faraday waves are a classic example of a system in which an extended pattern emerges under spatially uniform forcing. Motivated by systems in which uniform excitation is not plausible, we study both experimentally and theoretically the…
We extend the $t-z$ mapping formalism of time-dependent paraxial optics by identifying configurations displaying a synthetic magnetic vector potential, leading to a non-trivial band topology in propagating geometries. We consider an…
It is first shown that when the Schr\"{o}dinger equation for a wave function is written in the polar form, complete information about the system's {\em quantum-ness} is separated out in a single term $Q$, the so called `quantum potential'.…
We consider the difference $f(-\Delta +V)-f(-\Delta)$ of functions of Schr\"odinger operators in $L^2(\mathbb R^d)$ and provide conditions under which this difference is trace class. We are particularly interested in non-smooth functions…
The orbital angular momentum operator expansion turns to be a powerful tool to construct the fully covariant partial wave amplitudes of hadron decay reactions and hadron photo- and electroproduction processes. In this paper we consider a…
We explore the morphological properties of symmetric Airy beams in the paraxial and nonparaxial regimes. We consider a 2D electromagnetic realization with a single transverse component of the electric field, and in the nonparaxial regime,…
Semibounded symmetric operators have a distinguished self-adjoint extension, the Friedrichs extension. The eigenvalues of the Friedrichs extension are given by a variational principle that involves only the domain of the symmetric operator.…
In \cite{Lee:2006:schrod-converg}, when the spatial variable $x$ is localized, Lee observed that the Schr\"odinger maximal operator $e^{it\Delta}f(x)$ enjoys certain localization property in $t$ for frequency localized functions. In this…
Paraxial fluids of light are a promising platform for exploring collective phenomena in a highly tunable environment. These systems, which map the propagation of light through nonlinear media onto the wavefunction of effective 2D quantum…
In this work, the paraxial approximation of the free Dirac equation is examined. The results are first obtained by constructing superpositions of exact solutions with suitable profiles, which are borrowed from paraxial optics. In this…
The Weyl-Wigner representation of quantum mechanics allows one to map the density operator in a function in phase space - the Wigner function - which acts like a probability distribution. In the context of statistical mechanics, this…
