Virtual eigenvalues of the high order schrödinger operator I

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

We consider the Schrödinger operator Hγ = (-Δ)ι + γV(x)• acting in the space L2(IRd), where 2ι ≥ d, V(x) ≥ 0, V(x) is continuous and is not identically zero, and lim|x|→∞ V(x) = 0. We obtain an asymptotic expansion as γ ↑ 0 of the bottom negative eigenvalue of Hγ, which is born at the moment γ = 0 from the lower bound λ = 0 of the spectrum σ(H0) of the unperturbed operator H0 = (-Δ)ι (a virtual eigenvalue). To this end we develop a supplement to the Birman-Schwinger theory on the process of the birth of eigenvalues in the gap of the spectrum of the unperturbed operator H0. Furthermore, we extract a finite-rank portion φ(λ) from the Birman- Schwinger operator X V(λ) = V1/2Rλ(H 0)V1/2, which yields the leading terms for the desired asymptotic expansion.
