Absolutely continuous spectrum for multidimensional Dirac operator with long-range potential

Speaker: 

Prof. Serguei Denissov

Institution: 

CALTECH

Time: 

Thursday, October 23, 2003 - 2:00pm

Location: 

MSTB 254

In this talk, we will show that the a.c. spectrum of the multidimensional Dirac operator is being preserved under very weak perturbations. The conditions on the decay of potential are optimal in some sense. The case
of Schrodinger operator will be discussed too.

Spaces of random operators with trace classes - like conditions per unit volume

Professor Abel Klein

MSTB 254

We define and study spaces of random operators which satisfy Hilbert-Schmidt and trace class - like conditions with respect to the trace per unit volume.

Such spaces appear in the derivation of the Kubo formula in linear response theory for random Schrodinger operators in a constant magnetic field.

McGehee Coordinates

How does one understand the behavior of particles near a triple collision? By redescribing the coordinates to reflect polar coordinates, this singularity can be "blown up" to find the dynamic behavior

On Schrodinger operators with strong magnetic field of compact support

Speaker: 

Rainer Hempel

Institution: 

TU Braunschweig, Germany

Time: 

Thursday, November 13, 2003 - 2:00pm

Location: 

MSTB 254

We study the (signed) flow of spectral multiplicity for a family of magnetic Schrodinger operators in R^2,
$$
H(\lambda a) = (-i \nabla -\lambda a)^2 +V(x),
\lambda \ge 0,
$$
in the large coupling limit, i.e., $\lambda \to 0$. Our main assumption is for the magnetic field
$ B curl \lambda a$ to have compact support consisting of a finite number of components. The total magnetic flux may be non-zero.
