Abstract: We explore connections between Krein's spectral shift function

x i (l a m b d a, H_{0}, H)

associated with the pair of self-adjoint operators

(H_{0}, H)

,

H = H_{0} + V

in a Hilbert space

c a l H

and the recently introduced concept of a spectral shift operator

X i (J + K^{*} (H_{0} - l a m b d a - i 0)^{- 1} K)

associated with the operator-valued Herglotz function

J + K^{*} (H_{0} - z)^{- 1} K

,

I m (z) > 0

in

c a l H

, where

V = K J K^{*}

and

J = s g n (V)

. Our principal results include a new representation for

x i (l a m b d a, H_{0}, H)

in terms of an averaged index for the Fredholm pair of self-adjoint spectral projections

(E_{J + A (l a m b d a) + t B (l a m b d a)} ((- i n f t y, 0)), E_{J} ((- i n f t y, 0)))

,

, where

A (l a m b d a) = R e (K^{*} (H_{0} - l a m b d a - i 0)^{- 1} K)

,

B (l a m b d a) = I m (K^{*} (H_{0} - l a m b d a - i 0)^{- 1} K)

a.e. Moreover, introducing the new concept of a trindex for a pair of operators

(A, P)

in

c a l H

, where

A

is bounded and

P

is an orthogonal projection, we prove that

x i (l a m b d a, H_{0}, H)

coincides with the trindex associated with the pair

(X i (J + K^{*} (H_{0} - l a m b d a - i 0)^{- 1} K), X i (J))

. In addition, we discuss a variant of the Birman-Krein formula relating the trindex of a pair of

X i

-operators and the Fredholm determinant of the abstract scattering matrix. We also provide a generalization of the classical Birman-Schwinger principle, replacing the traditional eigenvalue counting functions by appropriate spectral shift functions.

Review text

The connections between the spectral shift operator \(\Xi(J+K^*(H_0-\lambda-i0)^{-1}K)\) and the Krein spectral shift function \(\xi(\lambda,H_0,H)\) are explored. In addition, a generalization of the classical Birman-Schwinger principle is given.
