Quadratic forms for singular perturbations of the Laplacian (Q1173969)

The negative Laplacian is defined in \(L_ 2(\mathbb{R}^ 3)\) and singular perturbations of it, ported by points, regular curves and regular surfaces, are considered. The aim is to develop an approach, based on the theory of quadratic forms, for a description of Schrödinger operators in \(L_ 2(\mathbb{R}^ 3)\) with interactions supported by particular sets of Lebesgue measure zero in \(\mathbb{R}^ 3\). The appropriate quadratic forms are constructed and a complete characterisation of the domain, and the action of associated operators is given together with an explicit construction of the resolvent.
