Spectral properties of a short-range impurity in a quantum dot
The spectral properties of the quantum mechanical system consisting of a
quantum dot with a short-range attractive impurity inside the dot are
investigated in the zero-range limit. The Green function of the system is
obtained in an explicit form. In the case of a spherically symmetric quantum
dot, the dependence of the spectrum on the impurity position and the strength
of the impurity potential is analyzed in detail. It is proven that the
confinement potential of the dot can be recovered from the spectroscopy data.
The consequences of the hidden symmetry breaking by the impurity are
considered. The effect of the positional disorder is studied.Comment: 30 pages, 6 figures, Late
Approximation by point potentials in a magnetic field
We discuss magnetic Schrodinger operators perturbed by measures from the
generalized Kato class. Using an explicit Krein-like formula for their
resolvent, we prove that these operators can be approximated in the strong
resolvent sense by magnetic Schrodinger operators with point potentials. Since
the spectral problem of the latter operators is solvable, one in fact gets an
alternative way to calculate discrete spectra; we illustrate it by numerical
calculations in the case when the potential is supported by a circle.Comment: 16 pages, 2 eps figures, submitted to J. Phys.
On the harmonic oscillator on the Lobachevsky plane
We introduce the harmonic oscillator on the Lobachevsky plane with the aid of
the potential where is the curvature
radius and is the geodesic distance from a fixed center. Thus the potential
is rotationally symmetric and unbounded likewise as in the Euclidean case. The
eigenvalue equation leads to the differential equation of spheroidal functions.
We provide a basic numerical analysis of eigenvalues and eigenfunctions in the
case when the value of the angular momentum, , equals 0.Comment: to appear in Russian Journal of Mathematical Physics (memorial volume

Spectra of self-adjoint extensions and applications to solvable Schroedinger operators
We give a self-contained presentation of the theory of self-adjoint
extensions using the technique of boundary triples. A description of the
spectra of self-adjoint extensions in terms of the corresponding Krein maps
(Weyl functions) is given. Applications include quantum graphs, point
interactions, hybrid spaces, singular perturbations.Comment: 81 pages, new references added, subsection 1.3 extended, typos

Quantum mechanics of layers with a finite number of point perturbations
We study spectral and scattering properties of a spinless quantum particle
confined to an infinite planar layer with hard walls containing a finite number
of point perturbations. A solvable character of the model follows from the
explicit form of the Hamiltonian resolvent obtained by means of Krein's
formula. We prove the existence of bound states, demonstrate their properties,
and find the on-shell scattering operator. Furthermore, we analyze the
situation when the system is put into a homogeneous magnetic field
perpendicular to the layer; in that case the point interactions generate
eigenvalues of a finite multiplicity in the gaps of the free Hamiltonian
essential spectrum.Comment: LateX 2e, 48 pages, with 3 ps and 3 eps figure
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.Comment: Misprints correcte
Fano resonances in a three-terminal nanodevice
The electron transport through a quantum sphere with three one-dimensional
wires attached to it is investigated. An explicit form for the transmission
coefficient as a function of the electron energy is found from the first
principles. The asymmetric Fano resonances are detected in transmission of the
system. The collapse of the resonances is shown to appear under certain
conditions. A two-terminal nanodevice with an additional gate lead is studied
using the developed approach. Additional resonances and minima of transmission
are indicated in the device.Comment: 11 pages, 5 figures, 2 equations are added, misprints in 5 equations

Zero modes in a system of Aharonov-Bohm fluxes
We study zero modes of two-dimensional Pauli operators with Aharonov--Bohm
fluxes in the case when the solenoids are arranged in periodic structures like
chains or lattices. We also consider perturbations to such periodic systems
which may be infinite and irregular but they are always supposed to be
sufficiently scarce
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)

Localization on quantum graphs with random vertex couplings
We consider Schr\"odinger operators on a class of periodic quantum graphs
with randomly distributed Kirchhoff coupling constants at all vertices. Using
the technique of self-adjoint extensions we obtain conditions for localization
on quantum graphs in terms of finite volume criteria for some energy-dependent
discrete Hamiltonians. These conditions hold in the strong disorder limit and
at the spectral edges
