The periodic Lieb-Thirring inequality

Rupert L. Frank, David Gontier, Mathieu Lewin

We discuss the Lieb-Thirring inequality for periodic systems, which has the same optimal constant as the original inequality for finite systems. This allows us to formulate a new c…

Edge states in ordinary differential equations for dislocations

David Gontier

In this article, we study Schrödinger operators on the real line, when the external potential represents a dislocation in a periodic medium. We study how the spectrum varies with t…

The reduced Hartree-Fock model with self-generated magnetic fields

David Gontier, Salma Lahbabi

We study the well-posedness of the reduced Hartree-Fock model for molecules and perfect crystals when taking into account a self-generated magnetic field. We exhibit a critical val…

Numerical construction of Wannier functions through homotopy

David Gontier, Antoine Levitt, Sami Siraj-Dine

We provide a mathematically proven, simple and efficient algorithm to build localised Wannier functions, with the only requirement that the system has vanishing Chern numbers. Our…

Spin symmetry breaking in the translation-invariant Hartree-Fock electron gas

David Gontier, Mathieu Lewin

We study the breaking of spin symmetry for the nonlinear Hartree-Fock model describing an infinite translation-invariant interacting quantum gas (fluid phase). At zero temperature…

Lower Bound on the Hartree-Fock Energy of the Electron Gas

David Gontier, Christian Hainzl, Mathieu Lewin

The Hartree-Fock ground state of the Homogeneous Electron Gas is never translation invariant, even at high densities. As proved by Overhauser, the (paramagnetic) free Fermi Gas is…
