Let $H$ signify the free non-negative Laplacian on $mathbb{R}^2$ and $H_Y$ the non-negative Dirichlet Laplacian on the complement $Y$ of a nonpolar compact subset $K$ in the plane. We derive the low-energy expansion for the Krein spectral shift function (scattering phase) for the obstacle scattering system ${,H_Y,,H,}$ including detailed expressions for the first three coefficients. We use this to investigate the large time behaviour of the expected volume of the pinned Wiener sausage associated to $K$.

Let $H_0 = -Delta + V_0(x)$ be a Schroedinger operator on $L_2(mathbb{R}^ u),$ $ u=1,2,$ or 3, where $V_0(x)$ is a bounded measurable real-valued function on $mathbb{R}^ u.$ Let $V$ be an operator of multiplication by a bounded integrable real-valued function $V(x)$ and put $H_r = H_0+rV$ for real $r.$ We show that the associated spectral shift function (SSF) $xi$ admits a natural decomposition into the sum of absolutely continuous $xi^{(a)}$ and singular $xi^{(s)}$ SSFs. This is a special case of an analogous result for resolvent comparable pairs of self-adjoint operators, which generalises the known case of a trace class perturbation while also simplifying its proof. We present two proofs -- one short and one long -- which we consider to have value of their own. The long proof along the way reframes some classical results from the perturbation theory of self-adjoint operators, including the existence and completeness of the wave operators and the Birman-Krein formula relating the scattering matrix and the SSF. The two proofs demonstrate the equality of the singular SSF with two a priori different but intrinsically integer-valued functions: the total resonance index and the singular $mu$-invariant.

This paper is a continuation of my previous work on absolutely continuous and singular spectral shift functions, where it was in particular proved that the singular part of the spectral shift function is an a.e. integer-valued function. It was also s hown that the singular spectral shift function is a locally constant function of the coupling constant $r,$ with possible jumps only at resonance points. Main result of this paper asserts that the jump of the singular spectral shift function at a resonance point is equal to the so-called resonance index, --- a new (to the best of my knowledge) notion introduced in this paper. Resonance index can be described as follows. For a fixed $lambda$ the resonance points $r_0$ of a path $H_r$ of self-adjoint operators are real poles of a certain meromorphic function associated with the triple $(lambda+i0; H_0,V).$ When $lambda+i0$ is shifted to $lambda+iy$ with small $y>0,$ that pole get off the real axis in the coupling constant complex plane and, in general, splits into some $N_+$ poles in the upper half-plane and some $N_-$ poles in the lower half-plane (counting multiplicities). Resonance index of the triple $(lambda; H_{r_0},V)$ is the difference $N_+-N_-.$ Based on the theorem just described, a non-trivial example of singular spectral shift function is given.
We consider the 3D Schrodinger operator $H_0$ with constant magnetic field $B$ of scalar intensity $b>0$, and its perturbations $H_+$ (resp., $H_-$) obtained by imposing Dirichlet (resp., Neumann) conditions on the boundary of the bounded domain $Ome ga_{rm in} subset {mathbb R}^3$. We introduce the Krein spectral shift functions $xi(E;H_pm,H_0)$, $E geq 0$, for the operator pairs $(H_pm,H_0)$, and study their singularities at the Landau levels $Lambda_q : = b(2q+1)$, $q in {mathbb Z}_+$, which play the role of thresholds in the spectrum of $H_0$. We show that $xi(E;H_+,H_0)$ remains bounded as $E uparrow Lambda_q$, $q in {mathbb Z}_+$ being fixed, and obtain three asymptotic terms of $xi(E;H_-,H_0)$ as $E uparrow Lambda_q$, and of $xi(E;H_pm,H_0)$ as $E downarrow Lambda_q$. The first two terms are independent of the perturbation while the third one involves the {em logarithmic capacity} of the projection of $Omega_{rm in}$ onto the plane perpendicular to $B$.
We consider the Schrodinger operator with constant magnetic field defined on the half-plane with a Dirichlet boundary condition, $H_0$, and a decaying electric perturbation $V$. We analyze the spectral density near the Landau levels, which are thresh olds in the spectrum of $H_0,$ by studying the Spectral Shift Function (SSF) associated to the pair $(H_0+V,{H_0})$. For perturbations of a fixed sign, we estimate the SSF in terms of the eigenvalue counting function for certain compact operators. If the decay of $V$ is power-like, then using pseudodifferential analysis, we deduce that there are singularities at the thresholds and we obtain the corresponding asymptotic behavior of the SSF. Our technique gives also results for the Neumann boundary condition.
We consider the case of scattering of several obstacles in $mathbb{R}^d$ for $d geq 2$ for the Laplace operator $Delta$ with Dirichlet boundary conditions imposed on the obstacles. In the case of two obstacles, we have the Laplace operators $Delta_1$ and $Delta_2$ obtained by imposing Dirichlet boundary conditions only on one of the objects. The relative trace operator $g(Delta) - g(Delta_1) - g(Delta_2) + g(Delta_0)$ was introduced in [18] and shown to be trace-class for a large class of functions $g$, including certrain functions of polynomial growth. When $g$ is sufficiently regular at zero and fast decaying at infinity then, by the Birman-Krein formula, this trace can be computed from the relative spectral shift function $xi_{rel}(lambda) = -frac{1}{pi} Im(Xi(lambda))$, where $Xi(lambda)$ is holomorphic in the upper half-plane and fast decaying. In this paper we study the wave-trace contributions to the singularities of the Fourier transform of $xi_{rel}$. In particular we prove that $hatxi_{rel}$ is real-analytic near zero and we relate the decay of $Xi(lambda)$ along the imaginary axis to the first wave-trace invariant of the shortest bounding ball orbit between the obstacles. The function $Xi(lambda)$ is important in physics as it determines the Casimir interactions between the objects.
