    Summary: We consider the self-adjoint Landau Hamiltonian \(H_0\) in \(L^2 (\mathbb{R}^2)\) whose spectrum consists of infinitely degenerate eigenvalues \(\Lambda_q, q \in \mathbb{Z}_+\), and the perturbed Landau Hamiltonian \(H_{\upsilon} = H_0 + \upsilon\delta_{\Gamma}\), where \(\Gamma \subset \mathbb{R}^2\) is a regular Jordan \(C^{1,1}\)-curve and \(\upsilon \in L^p (\Gamma;\mathbb{R}), p > 1\), has a constant sign. We investigate \(\ker (H_{\upsilon}-\Lambda_q), q \in \mathbb{Z}_+\), and show that generically \[ 0 \leq \dim \ker (H_{\upsilon} -\Lambda_q) -\dim \ker (T_q (\upsilon\delta_{\Gamma})) <\infty, \] where \(T_q (\upsilon\delta_{\Gamma}) = p_q (\upsilon\delta_{\Gamma}) p_q\), is an operator of Berezin-Toeplitz type, acting in \(p_q L^2 (\mathbb{R}^2)\), and \(p_q\) is the orthogonal projection onto \(\ker (H_0 -\Lambda_q)\). If \(\upsilon\neq 0\) and \(q = 0\), then we prove that \(\ker (T_0 (\upsilon\delta_{\Gamma}))= \{0\}\). If \(q \geq 1\) and \(\Gamma = \mathcal{C}_r\) is a circle of radius \(r\), then we show that \(\dim \ker (T_q (\delta_{\mathcal{C}_r}))\leq q\), and the set of \(r \in (0, \infty)\) for which \(\dim \ker (T_q (\delta_{\mathcal{C}_r}))\geq 1\) is infinite and discrete.
