Distant perturbations of the Laplacian in a multi-dimensional space

We consider the Laplacian in $\mathbb{R}^n$ perturbed by a finite number of distant perturbations those are abstract localized operators. We study the asymptotic behaviour of the discrete spectrum as the distances between perturbations tend to infinity. The main results are the convergence theorem and the asymptotics expansions for the eigenelements. Some examples of the possible distant perturbations are given; they are potential, second order differential operator, magnetic Schrodinger operator, integral operator, and \d-potential

Ultrafilter extensions of linear orders

It was recently shown that arbitrary first-order models canonically extend to models (of the same language) consisting of ultrafilters. The main precursor of this construction was the extension of semigroups to semigroups of ultrafilters, a technique allowing to obtain significant results in algebra and dynamics. Here we consider another particular case where the models are linearly ordered sets. We explicitly calculate the extensions of a given linear order and the corresponding operations of minimum and maximum on a set. We show that the extended relation is not more an order however is close to the natural linear ordering of nonempty half-cuts of the set and that the two extended operations define a skew lattice structure on the set of ultrafilters
