We consider the Nelson model on some static space-times and investigate the problem of absence of a ground state. Nelson models with variable coefficients arise when one replaces in the usual Nelson model the flat Minkowski metric by a static metric, allowing also the boson mass to depend on position. We investigate the absence of a ground state of the Hamiltonian in the presence of the infrared problem, i.e. assuming that the boson mass $m(x)$ tends to $0$ at spatial infinity. Using path space techniques, we show that if $m(x)leq C |x|^{-mu}$ at infinity for some $C>0$ and $mu>1$ then the Nelson Hamiltonian has no ground state.

We prove the existence of ground state in a multidimensional nonlinear Schrodinger model of paraxial beam propagation in isotropic local media with saturable nonlinearity. Such ground states exist in the form of bright counterpropagating solitons. From the proof, a general threshold condition on the beam coupling constant for the existence of such fundamental solitons follows.
We study sufficient conditions for the absence of positive eigenvalues of magnetic Schrodinger operators in $mathbb{R}^d,, dgeq 2$. In our main result we prove the absence of eigenvalues above certain threshold energy which depends explicitly on the magnetic and electric field. A comparison with the examples of Miller--Simon shows that our result is sharp as far as the decay of the magnetic field is concerned. As applications, we describe several consequences of the main result for two-dimensional Pauli and Dirac operators, and two and three dimensional Aharonov--Bohm operators.
In this short note, I review some recent results about gapped ground state phases of quantum spin systems and discuss the notion of topological order.
We prove the existence of ground states for the semi-relativistic Schrodinger-Poisson-Slater energy $$I^{alpha,beta}(rho)=inf_{substack{uin H^frac 12(R^3) int_{R^3}|u|^2 dx=rho}} frac{1}{2}|u|^2_{H^frac 12(R^3)} +alphaintint_{R^{3}timesR^{3}} frac{| u(x)|^{2}|u(y)|^2}{|x-y|}dxdy-betaint_{R^{3}}|u|^{frac{8}{3}}dx$$ $alpha,beta>0$ and $rho>0$ is small enough. The minimization problem is $L^2$ critical and in order to characterize of the values $alpha, beta>0$ such that $I^{alpha, beta}(rho)>-infty$ for every $rho>0$, we prove a new lower bound on the Coulomb energy involving the kinetic energy and the exchange energy. We prove the existence of a constant $S>0$ such that $$frac{1}{S}frac{|varphi|_{L^frac 83(R^3)}}{|varphi|_{dot H^frac 12(R^3)}^frac 12}leq left (intint_{R^3times R^3} frac{|varphi(x)|^2|varphi(y)|^2}{|x-y|}dxdyright)^frac 18 $$ for all $varphiin C^infty_0(R^3)$. Eventually we show that similar compactness property fails provided that in the energy above we replace the inhomogeneous Sobolev norm $|u|^2_{H^frac 12(R^3)}$ by the homogeneous one $|u|_{dot H^frac 12(R^3)}$.
We consider charge transport for interacting many-body systems with a gapped ground state subspace which is finitely degenerate and topologically ordered. To any locality-preserving, charge-conserving unitary that preserves the ground state space, we associate an index that is an integer multiple of $1/p$, where $p$ is the ground state degeneracy. We prove that the index is additive under composition of unitaries. This formalism gives rise to several applications: fractional quantum Hall conductance, a fractional Lieb-Schultz-Mattis theorem that generalizes the standard LSM to systems where the translation-invariance is broken, and the interacting generalization of the Avron-Dana-Zak relation between Hall conductance and the filling factor.
