Spectra of Schrödinger operators on planar domains with ends with unbounded cross-section (Q4238740)

The Kato method is adopted to prove the absence of embedded eigenvalues for the Schrödinger operator \(-\Delta+V\) with mixed boundary conditions in an unbounded domain in \(\mathbb{R}^2\): \[ -f(x)<y-h(x)<f(x); \quad 0<f(x) \to\infty, x\to\infty, \] for potentials \(V\) satisfying analogously to Kato the conditions \(V_{22}=O(r^{-2})\), \(y_cV+2V_2<C\), \(-2V_2<c\) for \(r\to \infty\), with respect to orthogonal coordinates \((r,s)\), \(S=f(x)\) \((y-h(x))\). The geometric requirements to the domain are formulated in terms of Lame coefficients \(\alpha,\beta\) of the corresponding metric form \(\alpha dr^2+ \beta ds^2\). The class of admissible domains contains \(|y|<x^p\), \({1 \over 2}<p<2\). Under the additional assumptions \(V=(1)\), \(V_2=(1)\) the absence of the singular spectrum is proven by the Mousse method.
