چکیده
Consider a one dimensional quantum mechanical particle described by the Schrödinger equation on a closed curve of length 2π. Assume that the potential is given by the square of the curve’s curvature. We show that in this case the energy of the particle can not be lower than 0.6085. We also prove that it is not lower than 1 (the conjectured optimal lower bound) for a certain class of closed curves that have an additional geometrical property.

For a large class of finite-range quantum spin models with half-integer spins, we prove that uniqueness of the ground state implies the existence of a low-lying excited state. For systems of linear size L, of arbitrary finite dimension, we obtain an upper bound on the excitation energy (i.e., the gap above the ground state) of the form (C log L)/L. This result can be regarded as a multi-dimensi...

Given n ≥ 2, we put r = min{ i ∈ N; i > n/2 }. Let Σ be a compact, Cr-smooth surface in Rn which contains the origin. Let further {Sǫ}0≤ǫ<η be a family of measurable subsets of Σ such that supx∈Sǫ |x| = O(ǫ) as ǫ → 0. We derive an asymptotic expansion for the discrete spectrum of the Schrödinger operator −∆−βδ(·−Σ\Sǫ) in L2(Rn), where β is a positive constant, as ǫ → 0. An analogous result is g...
