“…This means that a magnetic field can only improve the situation from our point of view. Papers by J. Avron, I. Herbst and B. Simon [1], Y. Colin de Verdière [4], A. Dufresnoy [6] and A. Iwatsuka [14] provide some quantitative results which show that even in case V = 0 the magnetic field can make the spectrum discrete. (This situation is called magnetic bottle.…”

“…Other, more effective sufficient conditions (which do not include µ 0 ) and related results (in particular, asymptotics of eigenvalues under appropriate conditions) can be found in [4,6,8,11,12,13,14,15,20,23,29,32,34].…”
We establish necessary and sufficient conditions for the discreteness of spectrum and strict positivity of magnetic Schrödinger operators with a positive scalar potential. They are expressed in terms of Wiener's capacity and the local energy of the magnetic field. The conditions for the discreteness of spectrum depend, in particular, on a functional parameter which is a decreasing function of one variable whose argument is the normalized local energy of the magnetic field. This function enters the negligibility condition of sets for the scalar potential. We give a description for the range of all admissible functions which is precise in a certain sense.

“…The power 3 2 in (1.3) is not a coincidence as it is known to be optimal (with little-o replaced by a sufficiently small constant in (1.3)) with respect to the separation property in the self-adjoint case [14,15,8] (see also [11], [20] in the magnetic case).…”
We consider non-self-adjoint electromagnetic Schrödinger operators on arbitrary open sets with complex scalar potentials whose real part is not necessarily bounded from below. Under a suitable sufficient condition on the electromagnetic potential, we introduce a Dirichlet realisation as a closed densely defined operator with non-empty resolvent set and show that the eigenfunctions corresponding to discrete eigenvalues satisfy an Agmon-type exponential decay.

We consider a magnetic Schrödinger operator H in R n or on a Riemannian manifold M of bounded geometry. Sufficient conditions for the spectrum of H to be discrete are given in terms of behavior at infinity for some effective potentials V ef f which are expressed through electric and magnetic fields. These conditions can be formulated in the form V ef f (x) → +∞ as x → ∞. They generalize the classical result by K.Friedrichs (1934), and include earlier results of J. Avron, I. Herbst and B. Simon (1978), A. Dufresnoy (1983) and A. which were obtained in the absence of an electric field. More precise sufficient conditions can be formulated in terms of the Wiener capacity and extend earlier work by A.M. Molchanov (1953) and V. Kondrat'ev and M. Shubin (1999) who considered the case of the operator without a magnetic field. These conditions become necessary and sufficient in case there is no magnetic field and the electric potential is semi-bounded below.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
