Abstract

In this paper, we study an L2 version of the semiclassical approximation of magnetic Schroedinger operators with invariant Morse type potentials on covering spaces of compact manifolds. In particular, we are able to establish the existence of an arbitrary large number of gaps in the spectrum of these operators, in the semiclassical limit as the coupling constant goes to zero.

Weighted eigenvalues of Dirac operators: complete continuity and comparison

We give a min-max characterization of all of the weighted Dirac eigenvalues, and show that the weighted eigenvalues and eigenspaces of Dirac operators are continuous with respect to weak $L^p$ convergence of the weight, for any $p>n$. Moreover, we establish a comparison result for such weighted eigenvalue problems including the case of nontrivial harmonic spinors.

Neighbourhood second Zagreb matrix of graphs: spectral radius bounds and extremal graphs

Let $G$ be a connected graph on at least two vertices, and let $δ(i)$ be the sum of the degrees of the neighbours of a vertex $i$. The \emph{neighbourhood second Zagreb matrix} $\NF(G)$ has $(i,j)$-entry $δ(i)δ(j)$ if $i\sim j$ and $0$ otherwise; its spectral radius is denoted by $\rNF(G)$. We prove that $\rNF(G)\geρ(G)^{5}$, where $ρ(G)$ is the adjacency spectral radius, with equality if and only if $G$ is regular or bipartite semiregular, and we use this to show that the same graphs are exactly the extremal graphs of a Berman--Zhang--type upper bound. We sharpen the estimates $\demin^{2}ρ(G)\le\rNF(G)\le\demax^{2}ρ(G)$ by means of the extreme edge weights of $\NF(G)$, give sharp upper bounds in terms of the maximum degree $\dmax$, the maximum neighbourhood degree sum $\demax$, the size $m$ and the clique number $ω(G)$, and determine the extremal graphs for bipartite graphs and trees. For every connected unicyclic graph $G$ of order $n\ge3$ we prove $32=\rNF(C_n)\le\rNF(G)\le\rNF(\Sp n)$, where $\Sp n$ is the triangle with $n-3$ pendant edges at one vertex, with equality only for $C_n$ and only for $\Sp n$, respectively. Finally, we give bounds in terms of the first Zagreb index and for the neighbourhood second Zagreb energy; for lower energy bounds, the extremal graphs are described completely.

On isospectral potentials on periodic discrete graphs

We consider discrete Schrödinger operators with periodic (possibly complex valued) potentials $Q$ on periodic graphs. Using a system of spectral invariants obtained in \cite{S26}, we investigate the sets of isospectral potentials on periodic graphs. In particular, we show that the Floquet spectrum of the Schrödinger operators on the hexagonal lattice and on the Kagome lattice generically (with respect to perturbations of $Q$) determines the potential $Q$ uniquely up to the obvious symmetries (translations and rotations) in the periodic graph.
