Operateurs de Schrodinger quasi-periodiques adiabatiques : Interactions entre les bandes spectrales d'un operateur periodique

In this paper, we study spectral properties of the one dimensional periodic Schrodinger operator with an adiabatic quasi-periodic perturbation. We show that in certain energy regions the perturbation leads to resonance effects related to the ones observed in the problem of two resonating quantum wells. These effects affect both the geometry and the nature of the spectrum. In particular, they can lead to the intertwining of sequences of intervals containing absolutely continuo...

In this paper, I consider one-dimensional periodic Schr{\"o}dinger operators perturbed by a slowly decaying potential. In the adiabatic limit, I give an asymptotic expansion of the eigenvalues in the gaps of the periodic operator. When one slides the perturbation along the periodic potential, these eigenvalues oscillate. I compute the exponentially small amplitude of the oscillations.

In this talk, we report on results about the width of the resonances for a slowly varying perturbation of a periodic operator. The study takes place in dimension one. The perturbation is assumed to be analytic and local in the sense that it tends to a constant at $+\infty$ and at $-\infty$; these constants may differ. Modulo an assumption on the relative position of the range of the local perturbation with respect to the spectrum of the background periodic operator, we show t...

The spectral properties of the Schr\"odinger operator $T_ty= -y''+q_ty$ in $L^2(\R)$ are studied, with a potential $q_t(x)=p_1(x), x<0, $ and $q_t(x)=p(x+t), x>0, $ where $p_1, p$ are periodic potentials and $t\in \R$ is a parameter of dislocation. Under some conditions there exist simultaneously gaps in the continuous spectrum of $T_0$ and eigenvalues in these gaps. The main goal of this paper is to study the discrete spectrum and the resonances of $T_t$. The following resul...

Let $Q(x)$ denote a periodic function on the real line. The Schr\"odinger operator, $H_Q=-\partial_x^2+Q(x)$, has $L^2(\mathbb{R})-$ spectrum equal to the union of closed real intervals separated by open spectral gaps. In this article we study the bifurcation of discrete eigenvalues (point spectrum) into the spectral gaps for the operator $H_{Q+q_\epsilon}$, where $q_\epsilon$ is spatially localized and highly oscillatory in the sense that its Fourier transform, $\widehat{q}_...

In this paper, we consider the Schr\"odinger equation, \begin{equation*} Hu=-u^{\prime\prime}+(V(x)+V_0(x))u=Eu, \end{equation*} where $V_0(x)$ is 1-periodic and $V (x)$ is a decaying perturbation. By Floquet theory, the spectrum of $H_0=-\nabla^2+V_0$ is purely absolutely continuous and consists of a union of closed intervals (often referred to as spectral bands). Given any finite set of points $\{ E_j\}_{j=1}^N$ in any spectral band of $H_0$ obeying a mild non-resonance c...

In this paper, we study spectral properties of a family of quasi-periodic Schrodinger operators on the real line in the adiabatic limit. We assume that the adiabatic iso-energetic curves are extended along the momentum direction. In the energy intervals where this happens, we obtain an asymptotic formula for the Lyapunov exponent, and show that the spectrum is purely singular.

The present paper is devoted to the study of resonances for a $1$D Schr\"{o}dinger operator with truncated periodic potential. Precisely, we consider the half-line operator $H^{\mathbb N}=-\Delta +V$ and $H^{\mathbb N}_{L}= -\Delta + V1_{[0, L]}$ acting on $\ell^{2}(\mathbb N)$ with Dirichlet boundary condition at $0$ with $L \in \mathbb N$. We describe the resonances of $H^{\mathbb N}_{L}$ near the boundary of the essential spectrum of $H^{\mathbb N}$ as $L \rightarrow +\inf...

In this paper we study spectral properties of a family of quasi-periodic Schr\"odinger operators on the real line in the adiabatic limit. We assume that the adiabatic iso-energetic curve has a real branch that is extended along the momentum direction. In the energy intervals where this happens, we obtain an asymptotic formula for the Lyapunov exponent and show that the spectrum is purely singular. This result was conjectured and proved in a particular case by Fedotov and Klop...

The present paper addresses questions on resonances for a $1$D Schr\"{o}dinger operator with truncated periodic potential. Precisely, we consider the half-line operator $H^{\mathbb N}=-\Delta +V$ and $H^{\mathbb N}_L = -\Delta + V 1_{[0,L]}$ acting on $\ell^{2}(\mathbb N)$ with Dirichlet boundary condition at $0$ with $L \in \mathbb N$. We describe the resonances of $H^{\mathbb N}_{L}$ near the boundary of the essential spectrum of $H^{\mathbb N}$ as $L \rightarrow +\infty$ i...
