The Harper equation describes an electron on a 2D lattice in magnetic field and a particle on a 1D lattice in a periodic potential, in general, incommensurate with the lattice potential. We find the distribution of the roots of Bethe ansatz…
We evaluate the spectral determinant for the damped wave equation on an interval of length $T$ with Dirichlet boundary conditions, proving that it does not depend on the damping. This is achieved by analysing the square of the damped wave…
A closed formula for the spectral determinant for the wave equation on a bounded interval, subject to Dirichlet boundary conditions and an $\alpha$-multiple of the Dirac $\delta$-type damping, is derived. Depending on the choice of the…
The spectral determinant det(H-\epsilon I) of the Azbel-Hofstadter Hamiltonian H is related to Onsager's partition function of the 2D Ising model for any value of magnetic flux \Phi=2\pi P/Q through an elementary cell, where P and Q are…
We describe some semiclassical spectral properties of Harper-like operators, i.e. of one-dimensional quantum Hamiltonians periodic in both momentum and position. The spectral region corresponding to the separatrices of the classical…
We consider the operator $H={d^4dt^4}+{ddt}p{ddt}+q$ with 1-periodic coefficients on the real line. The spectrum of $H$ is absolutely continuous and consists of intervals separated by gaps. We describe the spectrum of this operator in terms…
Fractional derivative can be defined as a fractional power of derivative. The commutator (i/h)[H, ], which is used in the Heisenberg equation, is a derivation on a set of observables. A derivation is a map that satisfies the Leibnitz rule.…
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:…
The hyperdeterminant of a polynomial (interpreted as a symmetric tensor) factors into several irreducible factors with multiplicities. Using geometric techniques these factors are identified along with their degrees and their…
We study hypoelliptic operators with polynomially bounded coefficients that are of the form K = sum_{i=1}^m X_i^T X_i + X_0 + f, where the X_j denote first order differential operators, f is a function with at most polynomial growth, and…
We characterize diagonals of unbounded self-adjoint operators on a Hilbert space H that have only discrete spectrum, i.e., with empty essential spectrum. Our result extends the Schur-Horn theorem from a finite dimensional setting to an…
We consider the Schr\"odinger operator $Hy=-y"+(p+q)y$ with a periodic potential $p$ plus a compactly supported potential $q$ on the real line. The spectrum of $H$ consists of an absolutely continuous part plus a finite number of simple…
We construct a new model of the quantum oscillator, whose energy spectrum is equally-spaced and lower-bounded, whereas the spectra of position and momentum are a denumerable non-degenerate set of points in [-1,1] that depends on the…
The quantum propagator and characteristic equation in the presence of a chain of $\delta$-potentials are obtained in the rectangular, cylindrical and spherical coordinate systems. The simplicity and efficiency of the method is illustrated…
A nonpolynomial one-dimensional quantum potential representing an oscillator, that can be considered as placed in the middle between the harmonic oscillator and the isotonic oscillator (harmonic oscillator with a centripetal barrier), is…
We consider the Hamiltonian for a charged particle in a harmonic potential in the presence of a magnetic field. The most symmetric case depends on one parameter, the variation of which leads from a spectrum bounded from below to an…
We discuss the detailed structure of the spectrum of the Hamiltonian for the polymerized harmonic oscillator and compare it with the spectrum in the standard quantization. As we will see the non-separability of the Hilbert space implies…
We study the damped wave equation with a damping coefficient which is possibly singular and unbounded at infinity. In general, zero belongs to the spectrum of the corresponding generator, which prevents a uniform (exponential) decay for the…
We classify the discriminantly separable polynomials of degree two in each of three variables, defined by a property that all the discriminants as polynomials of two variables are factorized as products of two polynomials of one variable…
In this note, for any two orthogonal projection $P,Q$ on a Hilbert space, the characterization of spectrum of anticommutator $PQ+QP$ has been obtained. As a corollary, the norm formula $$\parallel PQ+QP\parallel=\parallel…
