Spectral Methods with Sparse Matrices.
We study the spectral projection associated to a barrier-top resonance for the semiclassical Schrödinger operator. First, we prove a resolvent estimate for complex energies close to such a resonance. Using that estimate and an explicit representation of the resonant states, we show that the spectral projection has a semiclassical expansion in integer powers of , and compute its leading term. We use this result to compute the residue of the scattering amplitude at such a resonance. Eventually, we...
Let n ≥ 1, d = 2n, and let (x,y) ∈ ℝⁿ × ℝⁿ be a generic point in ℝ²ⁿ. The twisted Laplacian has the spectrum n + 2k = λ²: k a nonnegative integer. Let be the spectral projection onto the (infinite-dimensional) eigenspace. We find the optimal exponent ϱ(p) in the estimate for all p ∈ [2,∞], improving previous partial results by Ratnakumar, Rawat and Thangavelu, and by Stempak and Zienkiewicz. The expression for ϱ(p) is ϱ(p) = 1/p -1/2 if 2 ≤ p ≤ 2(d+1)/(d-1), ϱ(p) = (d-2)/2 - d/p if 2(d+1)/(d-1)...
We show that the lowest eigenvalue of the magnetic Schrödinger operator on a line bundle over a compact Riemann surface is bounded by the -norm of the magnetic field . This implies a similar bound on the multiplicity of the ground state. An example shows that this degeneracy can indeed be comparable with even in case of the trivial bundle.

We study various statistics related to the eigenvalues and eigenfunctions of random Hamiltonians in the localized regime. Consider a random Hamiltonian at an energy in the localized phase. Assume the density of states function is not too flat near . Restrict it to some large cube . Consider now , a small energy interval centered at that asymptotically contains infintely many eigenvalues when the volume of the cube grows to infinity. We prove that, with probability one in the large volume...
We discuss spectral and scattering theory of the discrete laplacian limited to a half-space. The interesting properties of such operators stem from the imposed boundary condition and are related to certain phenomena in surface physics.
