The spectral properties of a singularly perturbed self-adjoint Landau Hamiltonian in the plane with a delta-potential supported on a finite curve are studied. After a general discussion of the qualitative spectral properties of the perturbed Landau Hamiltonian and its resolvent, one of our main objectives is a local spectral analysis near the Landau levels.

One-particle density matrix is the key object in the quantum-mechanical approximation schemes. In this talk I will give a short survey of recent regularity results with emphasis on sharp bounds for the eigenfunctions, and show how these bounds lead to the asymptotic formula for the eigenvalues of the one-particle density matrix. The argument is based on the results of M. Birman and M. Solomyak on spectral asymptotics for pseudo-differential operators with matrix-valued symbols.[-]

Let $\Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^3$ be a sheared waveguide, i.e., $\Omega$ is built by translating a cross-section (an arbitrary bounded connected open set of $\mathbb{R}^2$ ) in a constant direction along an unbounded spatial curve. Consider $-\Delta_{\Omega}^D$ the Dirichlet Laplacian operator in $\Omega$. Under the condition that the tangent vector of the reference curve admits a finite limit at infinity, we find the essential spectrum of $-\Delta_{\Omega}^D$. After that, we state sufficient conditions that give rise to a non-empty discrete spectrum for $-\Delta_{\Omega}^D$. Finally, in case the cross section translates along a broken line in $\mathbb{R}^3$, we prove that the discrete spectrum of $-\Delta_{\Omega}^D$ is finite, furthermore, we show a particular geometry for $\Omega$ which implies that the total multiplicity of the discrete spectrum is equals 1.[-]
