Symmetries of Schrödinger operators with point interactions (Q1127726)

The authors study the full four-parameter family of selfadjoint operators with point interactions and its behaviour under fundamental symmetry transformations. The paper starts with the discussion how the whole family of one-dimensional Schrödinger operators with point interactions can be described in terms of boundary conditions. Next, a complete classification of the point interactions with a singular set at the origin (or at a single point) is given. The basic symmetries e.g., the parity, time reversal and scaling transformations are investigated. Finally, the symmetry properties of the point interactions using the suggested classification are studied. The paper is supplemented with a good bibliography of recent papers on related topics.
