Abstract
We study the Schr\"odinger operator in the plane with a step magnetic field function. The bottom of its spectrum is described by the infimum of the lowest eigenvalue band function, for which we establish the existence and uniqueness of the non-degenerate minimum. We discuss the curvature effects on the localization properties of magnetic ground states, among other applications.

The following list includes several aspects of spectral theory and also fields which feature substantial applications of (or to) spectral theory.
Schrödinger operators, scattering theory and resonances;
eigenvalues: perturbation theory, asymptotics and inequalities;
quantum graphs, graph Laplacians;
pseudo-differential operators and semi-classical analysis;
random matrix theory;
the Anderson model and other random media;
non-self-adjoint matrices and operators, including Toeplitz operators;
spectral geometry, including manifolds and automorphic forms;
linear and nonlinear differential operators, especially those arising in geometry and physics;
orthogonal polynomials;
inverse problems.
