Stability of the Magnetic Schrödinger Operator in a Waveguide

Abstract

The spectrum of the Schrödinger operator in a quantum waveguide is known to be unstable in two and three dimensions. Any local enlargement of the waveguide produces eigenvalues beneath the continuous spectrum. Also, if the waveguide is bent, eigenvalues will arise below the continuous spectrum. In this paper a magnetic field is added into the system. The spectrum of the magnetic Schrödinger operator is proved to be stable under small local deformations and also under small bending of the waveguide. The proof includes a magnetic Hardy-type inequality in the waveguide, which is interesting in its own right.     

Asymptotics of resonances for a Schrödinger operator with vector values

We show that the resonance counting function for a Schrödinger operator in dimension one has an asymptotic expansion and calculate an explicit expression for the leading term in some situations.     

On eigenfunction expansions of piecewise smooth functions,associated with the power of the Schrödinger operator

The eigenfunction expansions of an integer power of the Schrödinger operator in an arbitrary two-dimensional domain are considered. The convergence of the corresponding expansions of piecewise smooth functions is proved. When the dimension of the domain is greater than two, then it is well known that this result is not valid any more.     

Gauge Optimization and Spectral Properties of Magnetic Schrödinger Operators

We establish new necessary and sufficient conditions for the discreteness of spectrum and strict positivity of magnetic Schrödinger operators with positive scalar potentials. We also derive two-sided estimates for the bottoms of the spectrum and essential spectrum. The main idea is to optimize the gauges of the magnetic field on cubes, thus reducing the quadratic form on the cubes to ones without magnetic field (but with appropriately adjusted scalar potentials).     

Semiclassical Spectral Asymptotics for a Two-Dimensional Magnetic Schrödinger Operator II: The Case of Degenerate Wells

We continue our study of a magnetic Schrödinger operator on a two-dimensional compact Riemannian manifold in the case when the minimal value of the module of the magnetic field is strictly positive. We analyze the case when the magnetic field has degenerate magnetic wells. The main result of the paper is an asymptotics of the groundstate energy of the operator in the semiclassical limit. The upper bounds are improved in the case when we have a localization by a miniwell effect of lowest order. These results are applied to prove the existence of an arbitrary large number of spectral gaps in the semiclassical limit in the corresponding periodic setting.     

Some remarks on strong unique continuation for the laplace operator and its powers

ABSTRACT

Some spectral properties of magnetic Schrödinger and Dirac operators perturbed by long range magnetic fields are investigated. If the intensity of the field is small enough, a better location of the perturbed spectrum is given. In particular, if the unperturbed spectrum is discrete, we show that the perturbed eigenvalues are given in terms of an absolutely convergent series with respect to a magnetic parameter, from which the usual asymptotic expansion can be derived.     

Identifiability at the boundary for first-order terms

Let Ω be a domain in R ⁿ whose boundary is C ¹ if n≥3 or C ^1,β if n=2. We consider a magnetic Schrödinger operator L _{W , q} in Ω and show how to recover the boundary values of the tangential component of the vector potential W from the Dirichlet to Neumann map for L _{W , q} . We also consider a steady state heat equation with convection term Δ+2W·? and recover the boundary values of the convection term W from the Dirichlet to Neumann map. Our method is constructive and gives a stability result at the boundary.     

Characterization of intrinsic ultracontractivity for one dimensional Schrödinger operators

We consider a Schrödinger operator $L=?d^2/d{x}^2+V(x)$ on $\mathbb{R}$, where V is a real-valued measurable function, and give an explicit and simple characterization of intrinsic ultracontractivity (IU) of the Schrödinger semigroup generated by L for a wide class of potentials. By making use of it, we also give new examples of potentials for which the semigroups satisfy (IU) or non-(IU).     

Resonances in scattering by two magnetic fields at large separation and a complex scaling method

We study the quantum resonances in magnetic scattering in two dimensions. The scattering system consists of two obstacles by which the magnetic fields are completely shielded. The trajectories trapped between the two obstacles are shown to generate the resonances near the positive real axis, when the distance between the obstacles goes to infinity. The location is described in terms of the backward amplitudes for scattering by each obstacle. A difficulty arises from the fact that even if the supports of the magnetic fields are largely separated from each other, the corresponding vector potentials are not expected to be well separated. To overcome this, we make use of a gauge transformation and develop a new type of complex scaling method. We can cover the scattering by two solenoids at large separation as a special case. The obtained result heavily depends on the magnetic fluxes of the solenoids. This indicates that the Aharonov–Bohm effect influences the location of resonances.

We obtain here a general necessary and sufficient condition for the stability of general molecular ststem in the context of thomasz-Fermi-Von Weiasäcker, Thomas-Fermi-Dirac-Von Weizsaäcker, Hartree or Hartree-Fock theories

Global Continuity of the Integrated Density of States for Random Landau Hamiltonians

Abstract

We prove that the integrated density of states (IDS) for the randomly perturbed Landau Hamiltonian is Hölder continuous at all energies with any Hölder exponent 0 < q < 1. The random Anderson-type potential is constructed with a nonnegative, compactly supported single-site potential u. The distribution of the iid random variables is required to be absolutely continuous with a bounded, compactly supported density. This extends a previous result Combes et al. [Combes, J. M., Hislop, P. D., Klopp, F. (2003a). Hölder continuity of the integrated density of states for some random operators at all energies. Int. Math. Res. Notices 2003: 179--209] that was restricted to constant magnetic fields having rational flux through the unit square. We also prove that the IDS is Hölder continuous as a function of the nonzero magnetic field strength.     

Computation of Characteristic Function Values for Linear-State Differential Games

This paper addresses the issue of computation of the characteristic function values in a n-player linear-state cooperative differential game. One shows that the characteristic functions coincide under two different definitions of the strategic strength of coalitions. An illustrative example drawn from environmental economics is provided.     

Uniqueness of form extensions and domination of semigroups

In this article, we study uniqueness of form extensions in a rather general setting. The method is based on the theory of ordered Hilbert spaces and the concept of domination of semigroups. Our main abstract result transfers uniqueness of form extension of a dominating form to that of a dominated form. This result can be applied to a multitude of examples including various magnetic Schrödinger forms on graphs and on manifolds.     

The Hardy inequality and the heat equation with magnetic field in any dimension

In the Euclidean space of any dimension d, we consider the heat semigroup generated by the magnetic Schrödinger operator from which an inverse-square potential is subtracted to make the operator critical in the magnetic-free case. Assuming that the magnetic field is compactly supported, we show that the polynomial large-time behavior of the heat semigroup is determined by the eigenvalue problem for a magnetic Schrödinger operator on the (d ? 1)-dimensional sphere whose vector potential reflects the behavior of the magnetic field at the space infinity. From the spectral problem on the sphere, we deduce that in d = 2 there is an improvement of the decay rate of the heat semigroup by a polynomial factor with power proportional to the distance of the total magnetic flux to the discrete set of flux quanta, while there is no extra polynomial decay rate in higher dimensions. To prove the results, we establish new magnetic Hardy-type inequalities for the Schrödinger operator and develop the method of self-similar variables and weighted Sobolev spaces for the associated heat equation.
