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.

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.

The paper discusses quantum graphs with a vertex coupling which interpolates between the common one of the type and a coupling introduced recently by two of the authors which exhibits a preferred orientation. Describing the interpolation family in terms of circulant matrices, we analyze the spectral and scattering property of such vertices, and investigate the band spectrum of the corresponding square lattice graph.

We perform quantitative spectral analysis of the self-adjoint Dirichlet Laplacian \mathsf {H} on an unbounded, radially symmetric (generalized) parabolic layer \mathsf {H} . It was known before that \mathsf {H} has an infinite number of eigenvalues below the threshold of its essential spectrum. In the present paper, we find the discrete spectrum asymptotics for \mathsf {H} by means of a consecutive reduction to the analogous asymptotic problem for an effective one-dimensional Schrdinger operator on the half-line with the potential the behaviour of which far away from the origin is determined by the geometry of the layer \mathsf {H} at infinity.

We study motion of a charged particle confined to a Dirichlet layer of a fixed width placed into a homogeneous magnetic field. If the layer is planar and the field is perpendicular to it, the spectrum consists of infinitely degenerate eigenvalues. We consider translationally invariant geometric perturbations and derive several sufficient conditions under which a magnetic transport is possible, that is, the spectrum, in its entirety or a part of it, becomes absolutely continuous.

We analyze a family of singular Schrdinger operators describing a Neumann waveguide with a periodic array of singular traps of a delta\prime type. We show that in the limit when perpendicular size of the guide tends to zero and the delta\prime interactions are appropriately scaled, the first spectral gap is determined exclusively by geometric properties of the traps.

We investigate non-equilibrium particle transport in a system consisting of a geometric scatterer and two leads coupled to heat baths with different chemical potentials. We derive an expression for the corresponding current, the carriers of which are fermions, and analyze numerically its dependence on the model parameters in examples where the scatterer has a rectangular or triangular shape.

The notion of a vector space is obtained by axiomatization of the properties of the threedimensional space of Euclidean geometry, or of configuration spaces of classical mechanics. A vector (or linear) space V is a set {x, y,...} equipped with the operations of summation,[x, y] x+ y V, and multiplication by a complex or real number ,[, x] x V, such that (i) The summation is commutative, x+ y= y+ x, and associative,(x+ y)+ z= x+(y+ z). There exist a zero element 0 V, and an inverse element x V, to any x V so that x+ 0= x and x+( x)= 0 holds for all x V.(ii) (x)=() x and 1x= x.(iii) The summation and multiplication are distributive, (x+ y)= x+ y and (+ ) x= x+ x.

We discuss a model of a leaky quantum wire and a family of quantum dots described by Laplacian in L²(²) with an attractive singular perturbation supported by a line and a finite number of points. The discrete spectrum is shown to be nonempty, and furthermore, the resonance problem can be explicitly solved in this setting; by Birman-Schwinger method it is reformulated into a Friedrichs-type model.
