Structure of the resonances of the generalized Friedrichs model (Q794250)

With \(\mu\in {\mathbb{R}}\), \(u(x)\) and \(\phi(x)\) real-analytic on \([a,b]\) and \(K(x,y)\) real-analytic and symmetric on \([a,b]\times [a,b],\) let H be the self-adjoint operator on \({\mathbb{C}}\oplus L^ 2([a,b])\), \[ H\left( \begin{matrix} f_ 0\\ f_ 1\end{matrix} \right)=\left( \begin{matrix} \mu f_ 0+(\phi,f_ 1)\\ f_ 0\phi +M_ uf_ 1+Kf_ 1\end{matrix} \right)\quad(f_ 0\in {\mathbb{C}},\quad f_ 1\in L^ 2), \] where \(M_ u\) is the multiplication by u. \(H_ 0\) corresponds to \(\phi =K=0\). The usual Friedrichs model has \(u(x)=x.\) The critical values of u, and u(a) and u(b) are named singular points of the spectrum of \(H_ 0\). When switching on \(\phi\) and K, resonances of H (i.e. zeros of various branches of \(\det [1+(H-H_ 0)R_ z(H_ 0)])\) are generated from the singular points and possibly from \(\mu\) (if it belongs to the range of u). The note studies their number and location.
