We sketch here two mathematical models intended to describe the point-contact spectroscopical experiments. A new item is added to the list of recently discovered applications of the self-adjoint extensions theory.

The initial decay rate of a mixed state is discussed; is shown to be zero for finite energy states. In the previous paper [1] we investigated a general scheme for description of unstable systems. One of our results concerned the initial decay rate. Generalizing the earlier results of Horwitz and Marchand (see [2] and other references contained in [1]) we proved there, that the initial decay rate of any pure state of the unstable system equals to zero, if this state is so called finite energy state. Here we shall be interested in the same problem, assuming now the state of the decaying system to be in general mixed. Such assumption seems to be reasonable: firstly, from the point of view of an experiment it is too restrictive to treat only pure states of unstable systems. In particular, mixed states are generally considered in the recent studies about the influence of measuring devices on the time evolution of the unstable system [3

In this paper, we consider the three-dimensional Schrdinger operator with a -interaction of strength > 0 supported on an unbounded surface parametrized by the mapping R2x(x,f(x)), where 0, and f:R2R, f 0, is a C2-smooth, compactly supported function. The surface supporting the interaction can be viewed as a local deformation of the plane. It is known that the essential spectrum of this Schrdinger operator coincides with 142,+. We prove that for all sufficiently small > 0, its discrete spectrum is non-empty and consists of a unique simple eigenvalue. Moreover, we obtain an asymptotic expansion of this eigenvalue in the limit 0+. In particular, this eigenvalue tends to 142 exponentially fast as 0+.

The aim of the paper is to investigate resonances in quantum graphs with a general self-adjoint coupling in the vertices and their trajectories with respect to varying edge lengths. We derive formulae determining the Taylor expansion of the resonance pole position up to the second order, which represent, in particular, a counterpart to the Fermi rule derived recently by Lee and Zworski for graphs with the standard coupling. Furthermore, we discuss the asymptotic behavior of the resonances in the high-energy regime in the situation where the leads are attached through or s conditions, and we prove that in the case of s coupling the resonances approach to the real axis with the increasing real parts as O((Rek)2).

We analyze two-dimensional Schrdinger operators with the potential |{xy}{|}^{p}-\lambda {({x}^{2}+{y}^{2})}^{p/(p+ 2)} where |{xy}{|}^{p}-\lambda {({x}^{2}+{y}^{2})}^{p/(p+ 2)} and |{xy}{|}^{p}-\lambda {({x}^{2}+{y}^{2})}^{p/(p+ 2)} which exhibit an abrupt change of spectral properties at a critical value of the coupling constant . We show that in the supercritical case the spectrum covers the whole real axis. In contrast, for below the critical value the spectrum is purely discrete and we establish a LiebThirring-type bound on its moments. In the critical case where the essential spectrum covers the positive halfline while the negative spectrum can only be discrete, we demonstrate numerically the existence of a ground-state eigenvalue.

The aim of the paper is to derive spectral estimates into several classes of magnetic systems. They include three-dimensional regions with Dirichlet boundary as well as a particle in 3 confined by a local change of the magnetic field. We establish two-dimensional BerezinLiYau and LiebThirring-type bounds in the presence of magnetic fields and, using them, get three-dimensional estimates for the eigenvalue moments of the corresponding magnetic Laplacians.

For an arbitrary nonempty, open set ^<i>n</i>, <i>n</i> of finite (Euclidean) volume, we consider the minimally defined higher-order Laplacian (-\Delta)^m|_{{C^\infty_0}(\Omega)}, <i>m</i> , and its Kreinvon Neumann extension <i>A</i>_{<i>K</i>,,<i>m</i>} in <i>L</i>²(). with <i>N</i>(, <i>A</i>_{<i>K</i>,,<i>m</i>)}, (-\Delta)^m|_{{C^\infty_0}(\Omega)}, denoting the eigenvalue counting function corresponding to the strictly positive eigenvalues of <i>A</i>_{<i>K</i>,,<i>m</i>}, we derive the bound <i>N</i>(, <i>A</i>_{<i>K</i>,,<i>m</i>}) (2<i></i>)^-<i>n</i><i></i>_n||{1 + [2<i>m</i>/(2<i>m</i> + <i>n</i>)]}^{<i>n</i>/(2<i>m</i>)}^{<i>n</i>/(2<i>m</i>)}, &gt; 0, where <i>_n</i> <i></i>^<i>n</i>/2 /((<i>n</i> + 2)/2) denotes the (Euclidean) volume of the unit ball in ^<i>n</i>.

In this paper, we prove that the existence of absolutely continuous spectrum of the Kirchhoff Laplacian on a radial metric tree graph together with a finite complexity of the geometry of the tree implies that the tree is in fact eventually periodic. This complements the results by Breuer and Frank in (Rev Math Phys 21(7):929945, 2009) in the discrete case as well as for sparse trees in the metric case.

Motivation: quantum kinematics of decays, with and without repeated measurements Zeno dynamics: existence, form of the generator Anti-Zeno effect: what is it and under which conditions it can occur? Solvable model: a caricature description of a system of a quantum wire and dots Comparison: relations between the stable and Zeno dynamics in this and other models

We discuss properties of the two-dimensional Landau Hamiltonian perturbed by a family of identical <i></i> potentials arranged equidistantly along a closed loop. It is demonstrated that for the loop size exceeding the effective size of the point obstacles and the cyclotronic radius such a system exhibits persistent currents at the bottom of the spectrum. We also show that the effect is sensitive to a small disorder.
