Abstract: In this paper, we generalize several results of the article "Analytic continuation of eigenvalues of a quartic oscillator" of A. Eremenko and A. Gabrielov. We consider a family of eigenvalue problems for a Schr"odinger equation with even polynomial potentials of arbitrary degree d with complex coefficients, and k<(d+2)/2 boundary conditions. We show that the spectral determinant in this case consists of two components, containing even and odd eigenvalues respectively. In the case with k=(d+2)/2 boundary conditions, we show that the corresponding parameter space consists of infinitely many connected components.

Review text

The author considers a family of eigenvalue problems for the Schrödinger equation \[ -{y}+P(z)y=\lambda y, \] where \(P(z)\in \mathbb C[z]\), \(\deg P(z)=2p\) \((p\in \mathbb N)\) and \(k\) is the number of boundary conditions for the equation. He shows that, if \(k\leq p\), then the spectral determinant consists of two components, containing even and odd eigenvalues, respectively. In the case \(k=p+1\), the corresponding parameter space consists of infinitely many connected components.
