This talk describes joint work with Roman Bessonov and Peter
Yuditskii. In the spectral theory of self-adjoint and unitary
operators in one dimension (such as Schrodinger, Dirac, and Jacobi
operators), a half-line operator is encoded by a Weyl function; for
whole-line operators, the reflectionless property is a
pseudocontinuation relation between the two half-line Weyl functions.
We develop the theory of reflectionless canonical systems with an
arbitrary Dirichlet-regular Widom spectrum with the Direct Cauchy
Theorem property. This generalizes, to an infinite gap setting, the
constructions of finite gap quasiperiodic (algebro-geometric)
solutions of stationary integrable hierarchies. Instead of theta
functions on a compact Riemann surface, the construction is based on
reproducing kernels of character-automorphic Hardy spaces in Widom
domains with respect to Martin measure. We also construct unitary
character-automorphic Fourier transforms which generalize the
Paley-Wiener theorem. Finally, we find the correct notion of almost
periodicity which holds in general for canonical system parameters in
Arov gauge, and we prove generically optimal results for almost
periodicity for Potapov-de Branges gauge, and Dirac operators.

In this talk, we study the ground state energy of a Schrodinger operator and its relation to the landscape potential. For the 1-d Bernoulli Anderson model, we show that the ratio of the ground state energy and the minimum of the landscape potential approaches pi^2/8 as the domain size approaches infinity. We then discuss some numerical stimulations and conjectures for excited states and for other random potentials. The talk is based on joint work with I. Chenn and W. Wang.

Let $H_0$ be a discrete periodic  Schr\"odinger operator on $\Z^d$:

$$H_0=-\Delta+V,$$ where $\Delta$ is the discrete Laplacian and $V:\Z^d\to \R$ is periodic.    We prove that  for any $d\geq3$,    the Fermi variety at every energy level  is irreducible  (modulo periodicity).  For $d=2$,    we prove that the Fermi variety at every energy level except for the average of  the potential    is irreducible  (modulo periodicity) and  the Fermi variety at the average of  the potential has at most two irreducible components  (modulo periodicity). 

This is sharp since for  $d=2$ and a constant potential  $V$,   

the Fermi variety at  $V$-level  has exactly  two irreducible components (modulo periodicity).  

In particular,  we show that  the Bloch variety  is irreducible 

(modulo periodicity)  for any $d\geq 2$. 

Entanglement Entropy Bounds in the Higher Spin XXZ Chain

This is the second part of a series of two talks. We consider the Heisenberg XXZ spin-$J$ chain ($J\in\mathbb{N}/2$) with anisotropy parameter $\Delta$. Assuming that $\Delta>2J$, and introducing threshold energies $E_{K}:=K\left(1-\frac{2J}{\Delta}\right)$, we show that the bipartite entanglement entropy (EE) of states belonging to any spectral subspace with energy less than $E_{K+1}$ satisfy a logarithmically corrected area law with prefactor $(2\lfloor K/J\rfloor-2)$. This generalizes previous results by Beaud and Warzel as well as Abdul-Rahman, Stolz, and CF who covered the spin-$1/2$ case.

Bose-Einstein condensation in one-dimensional noninteracting Bose gases in the presence of soft Poissonian obstacles

We study Bose--Einstein condensation (BEC) in one-dimensional noninteracting Bose gases in Poisson random potentials on $\mathbb R$ with single-site potentials that are nonnegative, compactly supported, and bounded measurable functions in the grand-canonical ensemble at positive temperatures and in the thermodynamic limit. For particle densities larger than a critical one, we prove the following: With arbitrarily high probability when choosing the fixed strength of the random potential sufficiently large, BEC where only the ground state is macroscopically occupied occurs. If the strength of the Poisson random potential converges to infinity in a certain sense but arbitrarily slowly, then this kind of BEC occurs in probability and in the $r$th mean, $r \ge 1$. Furthermore, in Poisson random potentials of any fixed strength an arbitrarily high probability for type-I g-BEC is also obtained by allowing sufficiently many one-particle states to be macroscopically occupied.
