Abstract

We prove the existence of an Efimov sequence in an internal gap of the essential spectrum of a three-particle lattice Hamiltonian. The system consists of two identical spinless fermions and one distinguishable particle on \(\Z^3\), with repulsive pair interactions. For each fixed fermion-to-third-particle mass ratio \(γ>γ_*\approx13.6069657\) and total quasi-momentum near \(π\mathbf1\), the mixed zero-range coupling is tuned to a simultaneous upper-threshold resonance. Sufficiently strong nearest-neighbour repulsion between the fermions separates the upper fermion-pair two-cluster spectrum from the free three-particle band. Infinitely many discrete eigenvalues accumulate at the lower endpoint of the resulting gap, which coincides with the free upper edge. We establish logarithmic eigenvalue-counting asymptotics with the same positive coefficient as at zero fermion--fermion coupling. This coefficient also governs accumulation above the essential spectrum throughout the closed weak-coupling interval, including its critical endpoint. We classify the channel spectrum near the free upper edge for all nonnegative fermion couplings.

Lower bounds for self-adjoint Sturm-Liouville operators

In this note we provide estimates for the lower bound of the self-adjoint operator associated with the three-coefficient Sturm-Liouville differential expression $$ \frac{1}{r} \left(-\frac{\mathrm d}{\mathrm dx} p \frac{\mathrm d}{\mathrm dx} + q\right) $$ in the weighted $L^2$-Hilbert space $L^2(\mathbb R; rdx)$.

Canonical forms for boundary conditions of self-adjoint odd-order differential operators

It is useful to have canonical forms of boundary conditions in the study of the eigenvalues of boundary value problems and associated numerical applications. In [J. Appl. Anal. Comput., 2024, 14(4), {1854--1868}], a canonical form is given for self-adjoint differential operators of even order, with eigenvalue parameter dependent boundary conditions. In this article, we derive canonical forms for the remaining case, namely: for self-adjoint $(2n+1)$-th order differential operators with eigenvalue parameter dependent boundary conditions.

The Spectrum of the Discrete Mathieu Operator with Nonreal Coupling

We study the discrete Mathieu operator with nonreal coupling in the large-period limit, using complex WKB methods for analytic finite-difference equations. We obtain quantization formulas in different regions of the complex energy plane. Away from the corners of the image of the classical symbol, these formulas involve cosines of classical action integrals with small analytic corrections to the actions. Near each corner, we derive a uniform quantization formula involving the reciprocal Gamma function. The quantization formulas constrain spectral accumulation to curves determined by the competing exponential terms. Numerical computations illustrate the resulting spectral geometry.
