We consider the one-dimensional Schrödinger equation $-f''+q_αf = Ef$ on the positive half-axis with the potential $q_α(r)=(α-1/4)r^{-2}$. It is known that the value $α=0$ plays a special role in this problem: all self-adjoint realizations of the formal differential expression $-\partial^2_r + q_α(r)$ for the Hamiltonian have infinitely many eigenvalues for $α<0$ and at most one eigenvalue for $α\geq 0$. We find a parametrization of self-adjoint boundary conditions and eigenfunction expansions that is analytic in $α$ and, in particular, is not singular at $α= 0$. Employing suitable singular Titchmarsh--Weyl $m$-functions, we explicitly find the spectral measures for all self-adjoint Hamiltonians and prove their smooth dependence on $α$ and the boundary condition. Using the formulas for the spectral measures, we analyse in detail how the "phase transition" through the point $α=0$ occurs for both the eigenvalues and the continuous spectrum of the Hamiltonians.
We compute an explicit formula for the integrated density of states of the periodic Airy-Schr{ö}dinger operator on the real line. For this purpose, we study precisely the spectrum of the restriction of the periodic Airy-Schr{ö}dinger operator to a finite number of periods. We prove that all the eigenvalues of this restriction are in the spectral bands of the periodic Airy-Schr{ö}dinger operator and none of them are in its spectral gaps. We count exactly the number of eigenvalues in each of the spectral bands, this number being equal to the number of periods to which the periodic operator is re…
We prove a Limiting Absorption Principle for Schr{ö}dinger operators in tubes about infinite curves embedded in the Euclidian space with different types of boundary conditions. The argument is based on the Mourre theory with conjugate operators different from the generator of dilations which is usually used in this case, and permits to prove a Limiting Absorption Principle for Schr{ö}dinger operators in singular waveguides.
We recall a Moure theory adapted to non self-adjoint operators and we apply this theory to Schr{ö}dinger operators with non real potentials, using different type of conjugate operators. We show that some conjugate operators permits to relax conditions on the derivatives of the potential that were required up to now.
We study the threshold behaviour of two dimensional Schr{\" o}dinger operators with finitely many local point interactions. We show that the resolvent can either be continuously extended up to the threshold, in which case we say that the operator is of regular type, or it has singularities associated with $s$ or p-wave resonances or even with an embedded eigenvalue at zero, for whose existence we give necessary and sufficient conditions. An embedded eigenvalue at zero may appear only if we have at least three centres. When the operator is of regular type we prove that the wave operators are bo…
The purpose of the present work is to establish decorrelation estimates at distinct energies for some random Schr{ö}dinger operator in dimension one. In particular, we establish the result for some random operators on the continuum with alloy-type potential without covering condition assumption. These results are used to give a description of the spectral statistics.
We prove exponential decay for a system of two Schr{ö}dinger equations in a wave guide, with coupling and damping at the boundary. This relies on the spectral analysis of the corresponding coupled Schr{ö}dinger operator on the one-dimensional cross section. We show in particular that we have a spectral gap and that the corresponding generalized eigenfunctions form a Riesz basis.
I review an information-theoretic variant of the quantum de Finetti theorem due to Brand{ã}o and Harrow and discuss its applications to the topic of bosonic mean-field limits. This leads to slightly improved methods for the derivation of the local non-linear Schr{ö}dinger energy functional from many-body quantum mechanics.
The quantum nonlinear Schr$\ddot{o}$dinger(NLS) model with four-component fermions exhibits a $Y(so(5))$ symmetry when considered on an infintite interval. The constructed generators of Yangian are proved to satisfy the Drinfel'd formula and furthermore, the $RTT$ relation with the general form of rational R-matrix given by Yang-Baxterization associated with $so(5)$ algebraic structure.
We prove the local energy decay and the smoothing effect for the damped Schr{ö}dinger equation on R^d. The self-adjoint part is a Laplacian associated to a long-range perturbation of the flat metric. The proofs are based on uniform resolvent estimates obtained by the dissipative Mourre method. All the results depend on the strength of the dissipation which we consider.
We prove low frequency resolvent estimates and local energy decay for the Schr{ö}dinger equation in an asymptotically Euclidean setting. More precisely, we go beyond the optimal estimates by comparing the resolvent of the perturbed Schr{ö}dinger operator with the resolvent of the free Laplacian. This gives the leading term for the developpement of this resolvent when the spectral parameter is close to 0. For this, we show in particular how we can apply the usual commutators method for generalized resolvents and simultaneously for different operators. Finally, we deduce similar results for the …
We investigate a method to solve a class of Schr{ö}dinger equation eigenvalue problems numerically to very high precision $P$ (from thousands to a million of decimals). The memory requirement, and the number of high precision algebraic operations, of the method scale essentially linearly with $P$ when only eigenvalues are computed. However, since the algorithms for multiplying high precision numbers scale at a rate between $P^{1.6}$ and $P\,\log P\,\log\log P$, the time requirement of our method increases somewhat faster than $P^2$.
We consider discrete Schr{ö}dinger operators on ${\mathbb{Z}}^d$ for which the perturbation consists of the sum of a long-range type potential and a Wigner-von Neumann type potential. Still working in a framework of weighted Mourre theory, we improve the limiting absorption principle (LAP) that was obtained in [Ma1]. To our knowledge, this is a new result even in the one-dimensional case. The improvement consists in a weakening of the assumptions on the long-range potential and better LAP weights. The improvement relies only on the fact that the generator of dilations (which serves as conjugat…
We consider a system described by a controlled bilinear Schr{ö}dinger equation with three external inputs. We provide a constructive method to approximately steer the system from a given energy level to a superposition of energy levels corresponding to a given probability distribution. The method is based on adiabatic techniques and works if the spectrum of the Hamiltonian admits eigenvalue intersections, with respect to variations of the controls, and if the latter are conical. We provide sharp estimates of the relation between the error and the controllability time, and we show how to improv…
In this paper we consider time dependent Schr{ö}dinger linear PDEs of the form i$\partial$t$ψ$ = L(t)$ψ$, where L(t) is a continuous family of self-adjoint operators. We give conditions for well-posedness and polynomial growth for the evolution in abstract Sobolev spaces. If L(t) = H + V (t) where V (t) is a perturbation smooth in time and H is a self-adjoint positive operator whose spectrum can be enclosed in spectral clusters whose distance is increasing, we prove that the Sobolev norms of the solution grow at most as t $ε$ when t $\rightarrow$ $\infty$, for any $ε$ \textgreater{} 0. If V (t…
The time local and global well-posedness for the Maxwell-Schr{ö}dinger equations is considered in Sobolev spaces in three spatial dimensions. The Strichartz estimates of Koch and Tzvetkov type are used for obtaining the solutions in the Sobolev spaces of low regularities. One of the main results is that the solutions exist time globally for large data.
In this paper, we study weight representations over the Schr{ö}dinger Lie algebra $\mathfrak{s}_n$ for any positive integer $n$. It turns out that the algebra $\mathfrak{s}_n$ can be realized by polynomial differential operators. Using this realization, we give a complete classification of irreducible weight $\mathfrak{s}_n$-modules with finite dimensional weight spaces for any $n$. All such modules can be clearly characterized by the tensor product of $\mathfrak{so}_n$-modules, $\mathfrak{sl}_2$-modules and modules over the Weyl algebra.
We study an inverse scattering problem at fixed energy for radial magnetic Schr{ö}dinger operators on R^2 \ B(0, r\_0), where r\_0 is a positive and arbitrarily small radius. We assume that the magnetic potential A satisfies a gauge condition and we consider the class C of smooth, radial and compactly supported electric potentials and magnetic fields denoted by V and B respectively. If (V, B) and (\tilde{V} , \tilde{B}) are two couples belonging to C, we then show that if the corresponding phase shifts $δ$\_l and \tilde{$δ$}\_l (i.e. the scattering data at fixed energy) coincide for all l $\in…
We prove that if a solution of the time-dependent Schr{ö}dinger equation on an homogeneous tree with bounded potential decays fast at two distinct times then the solution is trivial. For the free Schr{ö}dinger operator, we use the spectral theory of the Laplacian and complex analysis and obtain a characterization of the initial conditions that lead to a sharp decay at any time. We then use the recent spectral decomposition of the Schr{ö}dinger operator with compactly supported potential due to Colin de Verdi{è}rre and Turc to extend our results in the presence of such potentials. Finally, we u…
The \SN (SN) equation is recast on purely geometrical grounds, namely in terms of Bargmann structures over $(\d+1)$-dimensional Newton-Cartan (NC) spacetimes. Its maximal group of invariance, which we call the SN group, is determined as the group of conformal Bargmann automorphisms that preserve the coupled Schrödinger and NC gravitational field equations. Canonical unitary representations of the SN group are worked out, helping us recover, in particular, a very specific occurrence of dilations with dynamical exponent $z=(\d+2)/3$.
How and why may an interacting system of many particles be described assuming that all particles are independent and identically distributed ? This question is at least as old as statistical mechanics itself. Its quantum version has been rejuvenated by the birth of cold atoms physics. In particular the experimental creation of Bose-Einstein condensates directly asks the following variant: why and how can a large assembly of very cold interacting bosons (quantum particles deprived of the Pauli exclusion principle) all populate the same quantum state ? In this text I review the various mathemati…
