We study a complex perturbation of a self-adjoint infinite band Schrodinger operator (defined in the form sense), and obtain the Lieb--Thirring type inequalities for the rate of convergence of the discrete spectrum of the perturbed operator to the joint essential spectrum of both operators.
The compression of the resolvent of a non-self-adjoint Schrodinger operator $-Delta+V$ onto a subdomain $Omegasubsetmathbb R^n$ is expressed in a Krein-Naimark type formula, where the Dirichlet realization on $Omega$, the Dirichlet-to-Neumann maps, and certain solution operators of closely related boundary value problems on $Omega$ and $mathbb R^nsetminusoverlineOmega$ are being used. In a more abstract operator theory framework this topic is closely connected and very much inspired by the so-called coupling method that has been developed for the self-adjoint case by Henk de Snoo and his coauthors.
We study perturbations of the self-adjoint periodic Sturm--Liouville operator [ A_0 = frac{1}{r_0}left(-frac{mathrm d}{mathrm dx} p_0 frac{mathrm d}{mathrm dx} + q_0right) ] and conclude under $L^1$-assumptions on the differences of the coefficients that the essential spectrum and absolutely continuous spectrum remain the same. If a finite first moment condition holds for the differences of the coefficients, then at most finitely many eigenvalues appear in the spectral gaps. This observation extends a seminal result by Rofe-Beketov from the 1960s. Finally, imposing a second moment condition we show that the band edges are no eigenvalues of the perturbed operator.
Let $H_0$ be a purely absolutely continuous selfadjoint operator acting on some separable infinite-dimensional Hilbert space and $V$ be a compact non-selfadjoint perturbation. We relate the regularity properties of $V$ to various spectral properties of the perturbed operator $H_0+V$. The structure of the discrete spectrum and the embedded eigenvalues are analysed jointly with the existence of limiting absorption principles in a unified framework. Our results are based on a suitable combination of complex scaling techniques, resonance theory and positive commutators methods. Various results scattered throughout the literature are recovered and extended. For illustrative purposes, the case of the one-dimensional discrete Laplacian is emphasized.
In this article we consider asymptotics for the spectral function of Schrodinger operators on the real line. Let $P:L^2(mathbb{R})to L^2(mathbb{R})$ have the form $$ P:=-tfrac{d^2}{dx^2}+W, $$ where $W$ is a self-adjoint first order differential operator with certain modified almost periodic structure. We show that the kernel of the spectral projector, $mathbb{1}_{(-infty,lambda^2]}(P)$ has a full asymptotic expansion in powers of $lambda$. In particular, our class of potentials $W$ is stable under perturbation by formally self-adjoint first order differential operators with smooth, compactly supported coefficients. Moreover, it includes certain potentials with dense pure point spectrum. The proof combines the gauge transform methods of Parnovski-Shterenberg and Sobolev with Melroses scattering calculus.
We consider a Schrodinger operator with complex-valued potentials on the line. The operator has essential spectrum on the half-line plus eigenvalues (counted with algebraic multiplicity) in the complex plane without the positive half-line. We determine series of trace formulas. Here we have the new term: a singular measure, which is absent for real potentials. Moreover, we estimate of sum of Im part of eigenvalues plus singular measure in terms of the norm of potentials. The proof is based on classical results about the Hardy spaces.
