We consider an electron with an anomalous magnetic moment g> 2 confined to a plane and interacting with a non-zero magnetic field B perpendicular to the plane. We show that if B has compact support and the magnetic flux in natural units is, the corresponding Pauli Hamiltonian has at least bound states, without making any assumptions about the field profile. Furthermore, in the zero-flux case there is a pair of bound states with opposite spin orientations. Using a Birman-Schwinger technique, we extend the last claim to a weak rotationally symmetric field with, thus correcting a recent result. Finally, we show that under mild regularity assumptions existence of the bound states can also be proved for non-symmetric fields with tails.

We investigate a periodic quantum graph in the form of a square lattice with a general self-adjoint coupling at the vertices. We analyse the spectrum's high-energy behaviour. Depending on the coupling type, bands and gaps have different asymptotics. Bands may be flat even if the edges are coupled, and non-flat band widths may behave like\mathcal O (n^ j),\, j= 1, 0,-1,-2,-3, as the band index n. The gaps may be of asymptotically constant width or linearly growing with the latter case being generic.

Suppose M is a m-dimensional submanifold without umbilic points in the (m+ p)-dimensional unit sphere S m+ p. Four basic invariants of M m under the Mbius transformation group of S m+ p are a symmetric positive definite 2-form g called the Mbius metric, a section B of the normal bundle called the Mbius second fundamental form, a 1-form called the Mbius form, and a symmetric (0, 2) tensor A called the Blaschke tensor. In the Mbius geometry of submanifolds, the most important examples of Mbius minimal submanifolds (also called Willmore submanifolds) are Willmore tori and Veronese submanifolds. In this paper, several fundamental inequalities of the Mbius geometry of submanifolds are established and the Mbius characterizations of Willmore tori and Veronese submanifolds are presented by using Mbius invariants.
