Pole structure of the Hamiltonian $zeta$-function for a singular potential


Abstract in English

We study the pole structure of the $zeta$-function associated to the Hamiltonian $H$ of a quantum mechanical particle living in the half-line $mathbf{R}^+$, subject to the singular potential $g x^{-2}+x^2$. We show that $H$ admits nontrivial self-adjoint extensions (SAE) in a given range of values of the parameter $g$. The $zeta$-functions of these operators present poles which depend on $g$ and, in general, do not coincide with half an integer (they can even be irrational). The corresponding residues depend on the SAE considered.
