Various qualitative methods for analyzing the discrete spectrum of SchrOdinger operators have been elaborated during the last three decades-for a review see Eef. 1, Section XIII. 3. They are of a great physical interest, especially because they can provide us with an information about -)*the few-body and many-body Hamlltonians, for which the quantitative methods are usually difficult to be applied. lt is not strange, therefore, that new re3ulta of this type continue to appear.

We consider an electron with an anomalous magnetic moment, <i>g</i> &gt; &gt; 2, confined to a plane and interacting with a nonhomogeneous magnetic field <i>B</i>, and investigate the corresponding Pauli Hamiltonian. We prove a lower bound on the number of bound states for the case when <i>B</i> is of a compact support and the related flux is <i>N</i> + <i></i>, <i></i>(0, 1]. In particular, there are at least <i>N</i> + 1 bound states if <i>B</i> does not change sign. We also consider the situation where the magnetic field is due to a localized rotationally symmetric electric current vortex in the plane. In this case the flux is zero; there is a pair of bound states for a weak coupling, and higher orbital-momentum spin-down states appearing as the current strength increases.

Let A and A be non-negative self-adjoint operators in a separable Hilbert space such that its form sum A is densely defined. It is shown that the Trotter product formula holds for imaginary times in the A -norm, that is, one has%%\begin {displaymath}

The built-up land represents an important type of an overall landscape. In this paper, the built-up land structure in the largest cities in the Czech Republic and some selected cities in the USA is analysed using the framework of statistical physics. We calculate the variance of the total area and of the count of the built-up land plots contained inside discs of different radii. In both cases, the variance as a function of the disc radius follows a power law with exponents that are comparable through different cities. The study is based on the cadastral data from the Czech Republic and on the building footprints from GIS data in the USA.
