Abstract: Building on work on Miura's transformation by Kappeler, Perry, Shubin, and Topalov, we develop a detailed spectral theoretic treatment of Schr"odinger operators with matrix-valued potentials, with special emphasis on distributional potential coefficients. Our principal method relies on a supersymmetric (factorization) formalism underlying Miura's transformation, which intimately connects the triple of operators $(D,H_1,H_2)$ of the form [D= (0 & A^*, A & 0) ext{in} L^2(mathbb{R})^{2m} ext{and} H_1 = A^* A, H_2 = A A^* ext{in} L^2(mathbb{R})^m.] Here $A=I_m(d/dx)+phi$ in $L^2(mathbbR{)}^m$, with a matrix-valued coefficient $phi=ph{i}^{\ast }in{L}_{extloc}^1(mathbbR{)}^{mimesm}$, $minmathbbN$, thus explicitly permitting distributional potential coefficients $V_j$ in $H_j$, $j=1,2$, where [H_j = - I_m frac{d^2}{dx^2} + V_j(x), quad V_j(x) = phi(x)^2 + (-1)^{j} phi'(x), j=1,2.] Upon developing Weyl--Titchmarsh theory for these generalized Schr"odinger operators $H_j$, with (possibly, distributional) matrix-valued potentials $V_j$, we provide some spectral theoretic applications, including a derivation of the corresponding spectral representations for $H_j$, $j=1,2$. Finally, we derive a local Borg--Marchenko uniqueness theorem for $H_j$, $j=1,2$, by employing the underlying supersymmetric structure and reducing it to the known local Borg--Marchenko uniqueness theorem for $D$.

Review text

Motivated by the paper \textit{T. Kappeler} et al. [Int. Math. Res. Not. 2005, No. 50, 3091--3133 (2005; Zbl 1089.35058)] the authors proves interesting results including a local Borg-Marchenko uniqueness theorem for the generalized Schrödinger operators \[ H_j = - I_m \frac{d^2}{dx^2} + V_j(x),\;j=1,2. \] Here, \(V_j(x)\) is a distributional matrix-valued potential. By virtue of the Weyl-Titchmarsh theory and using supersymmetric formalism they obtain some spectral theoretic results for \(H_j\).
