[For the entire collection see Zbl 0722.00019.] This paper applies an abstract expansion theorem [\textit{Th. Poerschke}, \textit{G. Stolz} and \textit{J. Weidmann}, Math. Z. 202, No. 3, 397-408 (1989; Zbl 0661.47021)] to prove the existence of eigenfunction expansions for operators of the form \((-i\nabla-b)^ 2+V\) in \(\mathbb{R}^ \nu\); the main conditions are that \(b\) is \(C^ 1\) and a Stummel-type condition on \(V\). These conditions allow \(V\) to behave like \(-| x|^ 2\) at infinity. The eigenfunctions are shown to be locally \(W^{2,2}\); their polynomial growth is obtained under an additional condition on \(b\) and \(V\), involving a particular growth conditions on \(b\) and \(divb\). It seems that some of the arguments in Section 4 could be simplified by the use of interior \(W^{2,p}\) estimates.
