On the magnetic Dirichlet to Neumann operator on the exterior of the disk -- diamagnetism, weak-magnetic field limit and flux effects

In this paper, we analyze the magnetic Dirichlet-to-Neumann operator (D-to-N map) $\check \Lambda(b,\nu)$ on the exterior of the disk with respect to a magnetic potential $A_{b, \nu}=A^b + A_\nu$ where, for $b\in \mathbb R$ and $\nu \in \mathbb R$, $A^b (x,y)= b\, (-y, x)$ and $A_\nu (x,y)$ is the Aharonov-Bohm potential centered at the origin of flux $2\pi \nu$. First, we show that the limit of $\check \Lambda(b,\nu)$ as $b\rightarrow 0$ is equal to the D-to-N map $\widehat \Lambda (\nu)$ on the interior of the disk associated with the potential $A_\nu (x,y)$. Secondly, we study the ground state energy of the D-to-N map $\check \Lambda(b,\nu)$ and show that the strong diamagnetism property holds. Finally we slightly extend to the exterior case the asymptotic results obtained in the interior case for general domains.

On the magnetic Dirichlet to Neumann operator on the disk -- strong diamagnetism and strong magnetic field limit--

Inspired by a paper by T. Chakradhar, K. Gittins, G. Habib and N. Peyerimhoff, we analyze their conjecture that the ground state energy of the magnetic Dirichlet-to-Neumann operator on the disk tends to $+\infty$ as the magnetic field tends to $+\infty$. This is an important step towards the analysis of the curvature effect in the case of general domains in $\mathbb R^2$.
