On the singular Weyl-Titchmarsh function of perturbed spherical Schrödinger operators (Q632456): Difference between revisions

The authors consider perturbed spherical Schrödinger operators (also known as Bessel operators) of the form \[ -\frac{d^2}{dx^2}+\frac{l(l+1)}{x^2}+q(x),\quad l\geq-\tfrac{1}{2},\;x\in(0,\infty), \] where the potential \(q\) is real-valued satisfying \(q\in L_{\text{loc}}^1(0,\infty)\), \(xq(x)\in L^1(0,1)\) for \(l>-1/2\), and \(x(1-\log(x))q(x)\in L^1(0,1)\) for \(l=-1/2\). They investigate the singular Weyl-Titchmarsh \(m\)-function and show existence and detailed properties of a fundamental system of solutions which are entire with respect to the energy parameter. Based on this they show that the singular \(m\)-function belongs to the generalized Nevanlinna class and connect their results with the theory of super singular perturbations. The paper contains appendices devoted to Hardy type inequalities, generalized Navanlinna functions, and the theory of super singular perturbations.
