Spectral asymptotics of a broken delta interaction

This paper is concerned with the spectral analysis of a Hamiltonian with a $\delta$-interaction supported along a broken line with angle $\theta$. The bound states with energy slightly below the threshold of the essential spectrum are estimated in the semiclassical regime $\theta\to 0$.Comment: 20 page

Spectral asymptotics for the Schr\"odinger operator on the line with spreading and oscillating potentials

This study is devoted to the asymptotic spectral analysis of multiscale Schr\"odinger operators with oscillating and decaying electric potentials. Different regimes, related to scaling considerations, are distinguished. By means of a normal form filtrating the oscillations, a reduction to a non-oscillating effective Hamiltonian is performed

Tunneling for the Robin Laplacian in smooth planar domains

We study the low-lying eigenvalues of the semiclassical Robin Laplacian in a smooth planar domain symmetric with respect to an axis. In the case when the curvature of the boundary of the domain attains its maximum at exactly two points away from the axis of symmetry, we establish an explicit asymptotic formula for the splitting of the first two eigenvalues. This is a rigorous derivation of the semiclassical tunneling effect induced by the domain's geometry. Our approach is close to the Born-Oppenheimer one and yields, as a byproduct, a Weyl formula of independent interest
