We consider Schrodinger operators with periodic electric and magnetic potentials on periodic discrete graphs. The spectrum of such operators consists of an absolutely continuous (a.c.) part (a union of a finite number of non-degenerate bands) and a finite number of eigenvalues of infinite multiplicity. We prove the following results: 1) the a.c. spectrum of the magnetic Schrodinger operators is empty for specific graphs and magnetic fields; 2) we obtain necessary and sufficient conditions under which the a.c. spectrum of the magnetic Schrodinger operators is empty; 3) the spectrum of the magnetic Schrodinger operator with each magnetic potential $talpha$, where $t$ is a coupling constant, has an a.c. component for all except finitely many $t$ from any bounded interval.
Continuous movement of discrete spectrum of the Schr{o}dinger operator $H(z)=-frac{d^2} {dx^2}+V_0+z V_1$, with $int_0^infty {x |V_j(x)| dx} < infty$, on the half-line is studied as $z$ moves along a continuous path in the complex plane. The analysis provides information regarding the members of the discrete spectrum of the non-selfadjoint operator that are evolved from the discrete spectrum of the corresponding selfadjoint operator.
We show that a generic quasi-periodic Schrodinger operator in $L^2(mathbb{R})$ has purely singular spectrum. That is, for any minimal translation flow on a finite-dimensional torus, there is a residual set of continuous sampling functions such that for each of these sampling functions, the Schrodinger operator with the resulting potential has empty absolutely continuous spectrum.
We consider the Schrodinger operator $H_{eta W} = -Delta + eta W$, self-adjoint in $L^2({mathbb R}^d)$, $d geq 1$. Here $eta$ is a non constant almost periodic function, while $W$ decays slowly and regularly at infinity. We study the asymptotic behaviour of the discrete spectrum of $H_{eta W}$ near the origin, and due to the irregular decay of $eta W$, we encounter some non semiclassical phenomena. In particular, $H_{eta W}$ has less eigenvalues than suggested by the semiclassical intuition.
Let $H_0$ be a purely absolutely continuous selfadjoint operator acting on some separable infinite-dimensional Hilbert space and $V$ be a compact non-selfadjoint perturbation. We relate the regularity properties of $V$ to various spectral properties of the perturbed operator $H_0+V$. The structure of the discrete spectrum and the embedded eigenvalues are analysed jointly with the existence of limiting absorption principles in a unified framework. Our results are based on a suitable combination of complex scaling techniques, resonance theory and positive commutators methods. Various results scattered throughout the literature are recovered and extended. For illustrative purposes, the case of the one-dimensional discrete Laplacian is emphasized.
We show that the spectral flow of a one-parameter family of Schrodinger operators on a metric graph is equal to the Maslov index of a path of Lagrangian subspaces describing the vertex conditions. In addition, we derive an Hadamard-type formula for the derivatives of the eigenvalue curves via the Maslov crossing form.
