One-dimensional Schrödinger operators with decaying potentials

From MaRDI portal





The author reports on recent studies of the spectrum \(\sigma\) of the Schrödinger operator \(H\) on \(L_2(0,\infty)\) generated by \[ Hy(x)=-y(x)+ V(x)y(x),\;0\leq x<\infty, \tag{i} \] \[ y(0)\cos \beta+y' (0)\sin \beta=0,\tag{ii} \] with \(V(x)\) decreasing at \(x=\infty\) and \[ \bigl|V(x)\bigr |\leq{C\over (1+x)^\alpha}, \alpha>0. \tag{iii} \] \(D(E)\) denotes the set of \(y(x,E)\) such that \(Hy(x,E)= Ey(x,E)\) and \(y(x,E)= \exp (i\omega (x,E))+o(1)\), \(y'(x,E)= iE^{1 \over 2}\exp (i\omega(x,E)) +o(1)\), \(x\to\infty\), \(\omega(x,E)= \int^x_0(E-V(t))^{1\over 2}dt\). Let \(S=\{E:D(E)=\emptyset\}\). It is proved that \(|S|\), the Lebesgue measure of \(S\), is zero if \(\alpha>{1\over 2}\) and \(\sigma_{ac} \), the absolutely continuous part of \(\sigma\), satisfies \(\sigma_{ac}= [0, \infty)\). Also, for all \(\alpha>0\), \(\dim S\), the Hausdorff dimension of \(S\), satisfies \(\dim S\leq 2(1-\alpha)\) and consequently for some \(V(x)\), \(|S|\neq 0\) when \(\alpha= {1\over 2}\) [see \textit{C. Remling}, Commun. Math. Phys. 193, No. 1, 151-170 (1998; Zbl 0908.34067) and to appear in Proc. Am. Math. Soc.]. For the entire collection see [Zbl 0911.00055].
