- Non-relativistic quantum mechanics: Boundary conditions in model problems (Particle in a one-dimensional box. Point interactions). Supersymmetric quantum mechanics (SUSY QM) and its relation with local observables. Ehrenfest-type theorems. SUSY QM with point interactions. Singular potentials. Self-adjoint extensions of Schrödinger operators in one dimension. Classical-quantum connections in model problems. Quantum wires and Graphs.

- Relativistic quantum mechanics: Tensorial theories in (1+1) dimensions. Applications in model problems (Particle in a one-dimensional box. Point interactions). Tensorial aspects in Dirac SUSY QM. Dirac operators. Ehrenfest-type theorems. Self-adjoint extensions of Dirac operators in (1+1) dimensions. Quantum wires and Graphs. The equation for the Majorana particle or fermion. The (non-Hamiltonian) Majorana equation (or the equation for the hypothetical Majoranons): solutions, boundary conditions, and connections with other equations. The infinite-components Majorana equation for particles of arbitrary spin: possible solutions for spin 0, 1/2, and 1, and connections with other equations.
