Graph-like asymptotics for the Dirichlet Laplacian in connected tubular domains
We consider the Dirichlet Laplacian in a waveguide of uniform width and
infinite length which is ideally divided into three parts: a "vertex region",
compactly supported and with non zero curvature, and two "edge regions" which
are semi-infinite straight strips. We make the waveguide collapse onto a graph
by squeezing the edge regions to half-lines and the vertex region to a point.
In a setting in which the ratio between the width of the waveguide and the
longitudinal extension of the vertex region goes to zero, we prove the
convergence of the operator to a selfadjoint realization of the Laplacian on a
two edged graph. In the limit operator, the boundary conditions in the vertex
depend on the spectral properties of an effective one dimensional Hamiltonian
associated to the vertex region.Comment: Major revision. Reviewed introduction. Changes in Th. 1, Th. 2, and

Nontrivial edge coupling from a Dirichlet network squeezing: the case of a bent waveguide
In distinction to the Neumann case the squeezing limit of a Dirichlet network
leads in the threshold region generically to a quantum graph with disconnected
edges, exceptions may come from threshold resonances. Our main point in this
paper is to show that modifying locally the geometry we can achieve in the
limit a nontrivial coupling between the edges including, in particular, the
class of -type boundary conditions. We work out an illustration of this
claim in the simplest case when a bent waveguide is squeezed.Comment: LaTeX, 16 page
Relative partition function of Coulomb plus delta interaction
The relative partition function and the relative zeta function of the
perturbation of the Laplace operator by a Coulomb potential plus a point
interaction centered in the origin is discussed. Applications to the study of
the Casimir effect are indicated.Comment: Minor misprints corrected. 24 page
Quasi-1D Bose-Einstein condensates in the dimensional crossover regime
We study theoretically the dimensional crossover from a three-dimensional
elongated condensate to a one-dimensional condensate as the transverse degrees
of freedom get frozen by tight confinement, in the limit of small density
fluctuations, i.e. for a strongly degenerate gas. We compute analytically the
radially integrated density profile at low temperatures using a local density
approximation, and study the behavior of phase fluctuations with the transverse
confinement. Previous studies of phase fluctuations in trapped gases have
either focused on the 3D elongated regimes or on the 1D regime. The present
approach recovers these previous results and is able to interpolate between
them. We show in particular that in this strongly degenerate limit the shape of
the spatial correlation function is insensitive to the transverse regime of
confinement, pointing out to an almost universal behavior of phase fluctuations
in elongated traps
Perturbations of eigenvalues embedded at threshold: one, two and three dimensional solvable models
We examine perturbations of eigenvalues and resonances for a class of
multi-channel quantum mechanical model-Hamiltonians describing a particle
interacting with a localized spin in dimension . We consider
unperturbed Hamiltonians showing eigenvalues and resonances at the threshold of
the continuous spectrum and we analyze the effect of various type of
perturbations on the spectral singularities. We provide algorithms to obtain
convergent series expansions for the coordinates of the singularities.Comment: 20 page
Time dependent delta-prime interactions in dimension one
We solve the Cauchy problem for the Schr\"odinger equation corresponding to
the family of Hamiltonians in which
describes a -interaction with time-dependent strength .
We prove that the strong solution of such a Cauchy problem exits whenever the
map belongs to the fractional Sobolev space
, thus weakening the hypotheses which would be required by
the known general abstract results. The solution is expressed in terms of the
free evolution and the solution of a Volterra integral equation.Comment: minor changes, 10 page
Effective equation for a system of mechanical oscillators in an acoustic field
We consider a one dimensional evolution problem modeling the dynamics of an
acoustic field coupled with a set of mechanical oscillators. We analyze
solutions of the system of ordinary and partial differential equations with
time-dependent boundary conditions describing the evolution in the limit of a
continuous distribution of oscillators.Comment: Improved Theorem 2. Updated introduction and references. Added 1

Bounds for the Stieltjes Transform and the Density of States of Wigner Matrices
We consider ensembles of Wigner matrices, whose entries are (up to the
symmetry constraints) independent and identically distributed random variables.
We show the convergence of the Stieltjes transform towards the Stieltjes
transform of the semicircle law on optimal scales and with the optimal rate.
Our bounds improve previous results, in particular from [22,10], by removing
the logarithmic corrections. As applications, we establish the convergence of
the eigenvalue counting functions with the rate and the rigidity
of the eigenvalues of Wigner matrices on the same scale. These bounds improve
the results of [22,10,23].Comment: New title, former title "Optimal Bounds on the Stieltjes Transform of
Wigner Matrices". Updated reference
