Existence and absence of Bose-Einstein condensation in the interacting random Kac-Luttinger model

C. Boccato, J. Kerner, M. Pechmann +1

In this paper, we study interacting bosons at zero temperature in a random and higher-dimensional continuum model introduced by Kac and Luttinger. For weak interactions we prove th…

Ambarzumian-type theorems for Hermitian matrices with applications

Matthias Hofmann, Joachim Kerner

A foundational result in inverse spectral theory due to Ambarzumian (1929) states that the Neumann Laplacian on an interval is not isospectral to the Neumann Laplacian with an addi…

On the asymptotic behavior of the spectral gap for discrete Schrödinger operators

Matthias Hofmann, Joachim Kerner, Maximilian Pechmann

In this note we elaborate on the asymptotic behavior of the spectral gap of a class of discrete Schrödinger operators defined on a path graph in the limit of infinite volume. We co…

On the surface area of graphs, related connectivity measures and spectral estimates

Patrizio Bifulco, Joachim Kerner

In this note we elaborate on some notions of surface area for discrete graphs which are closely related to the inverse degree. These notions then naturally lead to associated conne…

Robustness of flat bands on the perturbed Kagome and the perturbed Super-Kagome lattice

Joachim Kerner, Matthias Täufer, Jens Wintermayr

We study spectral properties of perturbed discrete Laplacians on two-dimensional Archimedean tilings. The perturbation manifests itself in the introduction of non-trivial edge weig…

Comparing the spectrum of Schrödinger operators on quantum graphs

Patrizio Bifulco, Joachim Kerner

We study Schrödinger operators on compact finite metric graphs subject to -coupling and standard boundary conditions. We compare the -th eigenvalues of those self-adjoint rea…

On the spectral gap of higher-dimensional Schrödinger operators on large domains

Joachim Kerner, Matthias Täufer

We study the asymptotic behaviour of the spectral gap of Schrödinger operators in two and higher dimensions and in a limit where the volume of the domain tends to infinity. Dependi…
