Spectral Asymptotics of a Singular Harmonic Oscillator with Aharonov--Bohm Flux

Bernard Helffer, Ayman Kachmar, François Nicoleau

Motivated by a recent article of R. Vanlaere (2026), we investigate the spectral asymptotics of a singular harmonic oscillator arising from the radial reduction of the magnetic Sch…

Eigenvalues of the linearized Navier-Stokes operator near locally Couette laminar flows

Yaniv Almog, Bernard Helffer

We consider the spectrum of the Orr-Sommerfeld operator, which is obtained from the linearized Navier-Stokes (LNS) operator near a laminar flow in an infinite two-dimensional chann…

A Local-to-Global Propagation Principle for Dirichlet-to-Neumann Maps

Thierry Daudé, Alberto Enciso, Bernard Helffer +2

We establish four local-to-global propagation results for Dirichlet--to--Neumann maps. Our first two results are proved in the general setting of smooth compact Riemannian manifold…

Pleijel's theorem for a class of degenerate elliptic operators

Rupert L. Frank, Bernard Helffer

We prove an asymptotic upper bound on the number of nodal domains of eigenfunctions of a class of degenerate elliptic operators. Our proof yields the same constant as in Pleijel's…

A Sharp Regularity Threshold for Uniqueness in Riemannian Calderón-type Problems

Thierry Daudé, Alberto Enciso, Bernard Helffer +2

We prove a sharp regularity threshold for uniqueness in two anisotropic Calderón-type inverse problems in dimension . The main setting is the Riemannian Schrödinger problem…

A fresh look at the Peierls-Onsager substitution

Horia D. Cornean, Bernard Helffer, Radu Purice

We formulate a general version of the Peierls-Onsager substitution for a finite family of Bloch eigenvalues under a local spectral gap hypothesis, via strongly localized tight-fram…

The fibre operators in the Bloch-Floquet decomposition of periodic magnetic pseudo-differential operators

Horia D. Cornean, Bernard Helffer, Radu Purice

We study the structure of the fibre operators corresponding to periodic magnetic pseudo-differential operators having periodic magnetic potentials. We obtain explicit formulas for…

On uniqueness of radial potentials for given Dirichlet spectra with distinct angular momenta

Damien Gobin, Benoît Grébert, Bernard Helffer +1

We consider an inverse spectral problem for radial Schrödinger operators with singular potentials. First, we show that the knowledge of the Dirichlet spectra for infinitely many an…

Flux effects on Magnetic Laplace and Steklov eigenvalues in the exterior of a disk

Bernard Helffer, Ayman Kachmar, François Nicoleau

We derive a three-term asymptotic expansion for the lowest eigenvalue of the magnetic Laplace and Steklov operators in the exterior of the unit disk in the strong magnetic field li…

On the magnetic Dirichlet to Neumann operator on the exterior of the disk -- diamagnetism, weak-magnetic field limit and flux effects

Helffer Bernard, Nicoleau Francois

In this paper, we analyze the magnetic Dirichlet-to-Neumann operator (D-to-N map) on the exterior of the disk with respect to a magnetic potential $A_{b, ν}=A^b + A…

Inequalities between Dirichlet and Neumann eigenvalues on Carnot groups

Rupert L. Frank, Bernard Helffer, Ari Laptev

We show that the -th Dirichlet eigenvalue of the sub-Laplacian on an open set of a Carnot group is greater than the -st Neumann eigenvalue. This extends earlier results i…
