Abstract: We study the spectral flow of Landau-Robin hamiltonians in the exterior of a compact domain with smooth boundary. This provides a method to study the spectrum of the exterior Landau-Robin hamiltonian's dependence on the choice of Robin data, even explaining the heuristics of how the spectrum of the Robin problem asymptotically tends to the spectrum of the Dirichlet problem. The main technical result concerns the continuous dependence of Landau-Robin hamiltonians on the Robin data in the gap topology. The problem can be localized to the compact boundary where the asymptotic behavior of the spectral flow in some special cases can be described.


The authors study the Robin realization of the Landau Hamiltonian in \(L^2(\Omega)\), where \(\Omega\subseteq \mathbb R^{2d}\) is open with smooth boundary such that \(\mathbb R^{2d}\setminus \Omega\) is compact. By considering the spectral flow, they show continuous dependence of the Landau-Robin Hamiltonians from the Robin data (coming from self-adjoint pseudo-differential operators on the boundary \(\partial\Omega\)) in the gap-topology. This also explains the heuristics how the spectrum of the Landau-Robin Hamiltonian asymptotically tends to the spectrum of the Landau-Dirichlet Hamiltonian.
