First KdV integrals and absolutely continuous spectrum for 1-D Schrödinger operator (Q5940492)

Let \(H= H^\alpha\) be the Hamiltonian on \(L^2(\mathbb{R}_+)\) given by \[ H\psi= -\psi''+ V(x)\psi,\qquad x\geq 0, \] \[ \psi(0)\cos \alpha- \psi'(0)\sin \alpha= 0,\quad \alpha\in S^1=[0,\pi). \] Under some natural conditions on the potential \(V\) the authors prove that the absolutely continuous spectrum of the operator \(H\) coincides with the positive semiaxis and the singular spectrum is unstable. They prove examples which show that for special classes of sparse potentials these results can not be improved.
