On the discrete spectrum of spin-orbit Hamiltonians with singular interactions

We give a variational proof of the existence of infinitely many bound states below the continuous spectrum for spin-orbit Hamiltonians (including the Rashba and Dresselhaus cases) perturbed by measure potentials thus extending the results of J.Bruening, V.Geyler, K.Pankrashkin: J. Phys. A 40 (2007) F113--F117.

Continuity properties of integral kernels associated with Schroedinger operators on manifolds

For Schroedinger operators (including those with magnetic fields) with singular (locally integrable) scalar potentials on manifolds of bounded geometry, we study continuity properties of some related integral kernels: the heat kernel, the Green function, and also kernels of some other functions of the operator. In particular, we show the joint continuity of the heat kernel and the continuity of the Green function outside the diagonal. The proof makes intensive use of the Lippmann-Schwinger equation.

Cantor and band spectra for periodic quantum graphs with magnetic fields

We provide an exhaustive spectral analysis of the two-dimensional periodic square graph lattice with a magnetic field. We show that the spectrum consists of the Dirichlet eigenvalues of the edges and of the preimage of the spectrum of a certain discrete operator under the discriminant (Lyapunov function) of a suitable Kronig-Penney Hamiltonian. In particular, between any two Dirichlet eigenvalues the spectrum is a Cantor set for an irrational flux, and is absolutely continuous and has a band structure for a rational flux. The Dirichlet eigenvalues can be isolated or embedded, subject to the choice of parameters. Conditions for both possibilities are given. We show that generically there are infinitely many gaps in the spectrum, and the Bethe-Sommerfeld conjecture fails in this case.

On-diagonal singularities of the Green functions for Schroedinger operators

We investigate the behavior of the Green functions of Schroedinger operators near the diagonal. The only non-trivial cases, where the on-diagonal singularities are non-zero and do not depend on the spectral parameter, are two and three dimensions. In the case of two dimensions, we show that the singularity is independent of both the scalar and the gauge potentials. In dimension three, we obtain conditions for preserving the singularity under perturbations by non-regular potentials. Some examples illustrating dependence of the singularity on general scalar and gauge potentials are presented.
