A trace formula for differential operators of arbitrary order

Publication date 21 September 2012

Abstract: An operator

H = H_{0} + V

where

H_{0} = i^{- N} p a r t i a l^{N}

(

N

is arbitrary) and

V

is a differential operator of order

N - 1

with coefficients decaying sufficiently rapidly at infinity is considered in the space

L^{2} (B b b R)

. The goal of the paper is to find an expression for the trace of the difference of the resolvents

(H - z)^{- 1}

and

(H_{0} - z)^{- 1}

in terms of the Wronskian of appropriate solutions to the differential equation

H u = z u

. This also leads to a representation for the perturbation determinant of the pair

H_{0}, H

.
