Spectral and scattering theory for Schrödinger operators with Cartesian anisotropy (Q2386883)

The spectral and scattering theory of some \(n\)-dimensional cartesian anisotropic Schrödinger operator \(H=-\Delta+V\) is studied. The anisotropy of operator \(H\) is called Cartesian since the potentials \(V\) admit limits at infinity separately for each variable. The detailed analysis of the spectrum is given: the essential spectrum, the thresholds, a Mourre estimate, a limiting absorption principle and the absence of singularly continuous spectrum. Then the asymptotic completeness is proved and a precise description of the asymptotic states is obtained in terms of a suitable family of asymptotic operators.
