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…

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…

Asymptotics for the magnetic Dirichlet-to-Neumann eigenvalues in general domains

Bernard Helffer, Ayman Kachmar, Francois Nicoleau

Inspired by a paper by T. Chakradhar, K. Gittins, G. Habib and N. Peyerimhoff, we analyze their conjecture that the ground state energy of the magnetic Dirichlet-to-Neumann operato…

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…

On the magnetic Dirichlet to Neumann operator on the disk -- strong diamagnetism and strong magnetic field limit--

Helffer Bernard, Nicoleau François

Inspired by a paper by T. Chakradhar, K. Gittins, G. Habib and N. Peyerimhoff, we analyze their conjecture that the ground state energy of the magnetic Dirichlet-to-Neumann operato…

A rigorous Peierls-Onsager effective dynamics for semimetals in long-range magnetic fields

Horia D. Cornean, Bernard Helffer, Radu Purice

We consider periodic (pseudo)differential {elliptic operators of Schrödinger type} perturbed by weak magnetic fields not vanishing at infinity, and extend our previous analysis in…
