A trace formula and high-energy spectral asymptotics for the perturbed Landau Hamiltonian (Q705347)

The authors treat the magnetic Schrödinger operator \[ H= (-i\partial/\partial x_1+ Bx_2/2)^2+ (-i\partial/\partial x_2- Bx_1/2)^2,\;B> 0, \] in \(L^2(\mathbb{R}^2, dx_1 dx_2)\). The spectrum \(\sigma(H)\) consists of eigenvalues \(\Lambda_n= B(2n+1)\), \(n\in\mathbb{Z}_+= N\cup\{0\}\) with infinite multiplicity. \(V\in C^\infty_0(\mathbb{R}^2)\), \(\Delta_0= [\inf\sigma(H+ V),2B)\), and \(\Delta_n= [\Lambda_n- B,\Lambda_n+ B)\), \(n\in\mathbb{N}\). Then \(\sigma(H+V)\subset \bigcup_{n= 0\sim\infty}\Delta_n\), and \(n\)th cluster \[ \sigma(H+ V)\cap \Delta_n(\subset (\Lambda_n- Cn^{-1/2},\Lambda_n+ Cn^{-1/2})) \] consists of eigenvalues \(\lambda_j\), \(j\in\mathbb{N}\); \(\lim_{j\to\infty}\,\lambda_j= \Lambda_n\), with finite multiplicities. The aimes to study the asymptotic distribution of eigenvalues in the \(n\)th cluster as \(n\to\infty\). When \(\| V\|_{L^\infty}\leq B\), the eigenvalues moments are \(\mu_n= \Sigma_j\) \((\lambda_j- \Lambda_n)\), \(n\in\mathbb{Z}_+\). The authors investigate the spectral shift function \(\xi(\lambda)= \text{Tr}(E_H(\lambda)- E_{H+V}(\lambda))\), \(\lambda\in\mathbb{R}\setminus \sigma(H+V)\), and give \(\mu_n= \int_{\Delta n}\xi(\lambda)\,d\lambda\) as a general definition. Main result: The asymptotic expansion \(\mu_n\sim \sum_{j=0\sim\infty} \alpha_j n^{-j/2}\), \(n\to\infty\) holds true with some real coefficients \(\alpha_j\). Next \(\{\alpha_j; j= 0,3\}\) is given by using \(B\) and \(V\), \(\alpha_1= \alpha_2= 0\). The identity (trace formula) \[ \sum_{n= 0\sim\infty} \Biggl(\mu_n- B \int_{\mathbb{R}^2} V(x)\,dx/(2\pi)\Biggr)= -\int_{\mathbb{R}^2} V^2(x)\,dx/(8\pi) \] holds true.
