L^p boundedness of the wave operator for the one dimensional Schroedinger operator
Given a one dimensional perturbed Schroedinger operator H=-(d/dx)^2+V(x) we
consider the associated wave operators W_+, W_- defined as the strong L^2
limits as s-> \pm\infty of the operators e^{isH} e^{-isH_0} We prove that the
wave operators are bounded operators on L^p for all 1<p<\infty, provided
(1+|x|)^2 V(x) is integrable, or else (1+|x|)V(x) is integrable and 0 is not a
resonance. For p=\infty we obtain an estimate in terms of the Hilbert
transform. Some applications to dispersive estimates for equations with
variable rough coefficients are given.Comment: 26 page
Semi-classical Green kernel asymptotics for the Dirac operator
We consider a semi-classical Dirac operator in arbitrary spatial dimensions
with a smooth potential whose partial derivatives of any order are bounded by
suitable constants. We prove that the distribution kernel of the inverse
operator evaluated at two distinct points fulfilling a certain hypothesis can
be represented as the product of an exponentially decaying factor involving an
associated Agmon distance and some amplitude admitting a complete asymptotic
expansion in powers of the semi-classical parameter. Moreover, we find an
explicit formula for the leading term in that expansion.Comment: 46 page
Does Luttinger liquid behaviour survive in an atomic wire on a surface?
We form a highly simplified model of an atomic wire on a surface by the
coupling of two one-dimensional chains, one with electron-electron interactions
to represent the wire and and one with no electron-electron interactions to
represent the surface. We use exact diagonalization techniques to calculate the
eigenstates and response functions of our model, in order to determine both the
nature of the coupling and to what extent the coupling affects the Luttinger
liquid properties we would expect in a purely one-dimensional system. We find
that while there are indeed Luttinger liquid indicators present, some residual
Fermi liquid characteristics remain.Comment: 14 pages, 7 figures. Submitted to J Phys
Well-Posedness for Semi-Relativistic Hartree Equations of Critical Type
We prove local and global well-posedness for semi-relativistic, nonlinear
Schr\"odinger equations with
initial data in , . Here is a critical
Hartree nonlinearity that corresponds to Coulomb or Yukawa type
self-interactions. For focusing , which arise in the quantum theory of
boson stars, we derive a sufficient condition for global-in-time existence in
terms of a solitary wave ground state. Our proof of well-posedness does not
rely on Strichartz type estimates, and it enables us to add external potentials
of a general class.Comment: 18 pages; replaced with revised version; remark and reference on blow

Cosmological dynamics of fourth order gravity with a Gauss-Bonnet term
We consider cosmological dynamics in fourth order gravity with both
and correction to the Einstein gravity ( is
the Gauss-Bonnet term). The particular case for which both terms are equally
important on power-law solutions is described. These solutions and their
stability are studied using the dynamical system approach. We also discuss
condition of existence and stability of de Sitter solution in a more general
situation of power-law and .Comment: published version, references update
Ferromagnetism in a Hubbard model for an atomic quantum wire: a realization of flat-band magnetism from even-membered rings
We have examined a Hubbard model on a chain of squares, which was proposed by
Yajima et al as a model of an atomic quantum wire As/Si(100), to show that the
flat-band ferromagnetism according to a kind of Mielke-Tasaki mechanism should
be realized for an appropriate band filling in such a non-frustrated lattice.
Reflecting the fact that the flat band is not a bottom one, the ferromagnetism
vanishes, rather than intensified, as the Hubbard U is increased. The exact
diagonalization method is used to show that the critical value of U is in a
realistic range. We also discussed the robustness of the magnetism against the
degradation of the flatness of the band.Comment: misleading terms and expressions are corrected, 4 pages, RevTex, 5
