Linear symmetric and selfadjoint operators (unbounded) (47B25) Scattering theory of linear operators (47A40)

Abstract: We develop the scattering theory for a pair of self-adjoint operators $A_0=A_{1}oplus\mathrm{...}oplus{A}_N$ and $A=A_1+\mathrm{...}+A_N$ under the assumption that all pair products $A_j{A}_k$ with $jeqk$ satisfy certain regularity conditions. Roughly speaking, these conditions mean that the products $A_j{A}_k$, $jeqk$, can be represented as integral operators with smooth kernels in the spectral representation of the operator $A_0$. We show that the absolutely continuous parts of the operators $A_0$ and $A$ are unitarily equivalent. This yields a smooth version of Ismagilov's theorem known earlier in the trace class framework. We also prove that the singular continuous spectrum of the operator $A$ is empty and that its eigenvalues may accumulate only to "thresholds" of the absolutely continuous spectra of the operators $A_j$. Our approach relies on a system of resolvent equations which can be considered as a generalization of Faddeev's equations for three particle quantum systems.
