Spectral shift and multiplicity of the first eigenvalue of the magnetic Schrödinger operator in two dimensions

László Erdős (2002)

Annales de l’institut Fourier

We show that the lowest eigenvalue of the magnetic Schrödinger operator on a line bundle over a compact Riemann surface M is bounded by the L 1 -norm of the magnetic field B . This implies a similar bound on the multiplicity of the ground state. An example shows that this degeneracy can indeed be comparable with M | B | even in case of the trivial bundle.

Spectral statistics for random Schrödinger operators in the localized regime

François Germinet, Frédéric Klopp (2014)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

We study various statistics related to the eigenvalues and eigenfunctions of random Hamiltonians in the localized regime. Consider a random Hamiltonian at an energy E in the localized phase. Assume the density of states function is not too flat near E . Restrict it to some large cube Λ . Consider now I Λ , a small energy interval centered at E that asymptotically contains infintely many eigenvalues when the volume of the cube Λ grows to infinity. We prove that, with probability one in the large volume...

Spectral theory of corrugated surfaces

Vojkan Jakšić (2001)

Journées équations aux dérivées partielles

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.

Spectral theory of damped quantum chaotic systems

Stéphane Nonnenmacher (2011)

Journées Équations aux dérivées partielles

We investigate the spectral distribution of the damped wave equation on a compact Riemannian manifold, especially in the case of a metric of negative curvature, for which the geodesic flow is Anosov. The main application is to obtain conditions (in terms of the geodesic flow on X and the damping function) for which the energy of the waves decays exponentially fast, at least for smooth enough initial data. We review various estimates for the high frequency spectrum in terms of dynamically defined...

Spectrum of the laplacian in a narrow curved strip with combined Dirichlet and Neumann boundary conditions

David Krejčiřík (2009)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

We consider the laplacian in a domain squeezed between two parallel curves in the plane, subject to Dirichlet boundary conditions on one of the curves and Neumann boundary conditions on the other. We derive two-term asymptotics for eigenvalues in the limit when the distance between the curves tends to zero. The asymptotics are uniform and local in the sense that the coefficients depend only on the extremal points where the ratio of the curvature radii of the Neumann boundary to the Dirichlet one...

We derive two-term asymptotics for eigenvalues in the limit when the distance between the curves tends to zero.

Spectrum of the Laplacian in narrow tubular neighbourhoods of hypersurfaces with combined Dirichlet and Neumann boundary conditions

David Krejčiřík (2014)

Mathematica Bohemica

We consider the Laplacian in a domain squeezed between two parallel hypersurfaces in Euclidean spaces of any dimension, subject to Dirichlet boundary conditions on one of the hypersurfaces and Neumann boundary conditions on the other. We derive two-term asymptotics for eigenvalues in the limit when the distance between the hypersurfaces tends to zero. The asymptotics are uniform and local in the sense that the coefficients depend only on the extremal points where the ratio of the area of the Neumann...

Stability and semiclassics in self-generated fields

László Erdős, Soren Fournais, Jan Philip Solovej (2013)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

We consider non-interacting particles subject to a fixed external potential V and a self-generated magnetic field B . The total energy includes the field energy β B 2 and we minimize over all particle states and magnetic fields. In the case of spin-1/2 particles this minimization leads to the coupled Maxwell-Pauli system. The parameter β tunes the coupling strength between the field and the particles and it effectively determines the strength of the field. We investigate the stability and the semiclassical...

Stationary Schrödinger equations governing electronic states of quantum dots in the presence of spin-orbit splitting

Marta M. Betcke, Heinrich Voss (2007)

Applications of Mathematics

In this work we derive a pair of nonlinear eigenvalue problems corresponding to the one-band effective Hamiltonian accounting for the spin-orbit interaction governing the electronic states of a quantum dot. We show that the pair of nonlinear problems allows for the minmax characterization of its eigenvalues under certain conditions which are satisfied for our example of a cylindrical quantum dot and the common InAs/GaAs heterojunction. Exploiting the minmax property we devise an efficient iterative...
