Spectral theory of discontinuous functions of self-adjoint operators and scattering theory

Publication date 10 September 2010

Abstract: In the smooth scattering theory framework, we consider a pair of self-adjoint operators

H_{0}

,

H

and discuss the spectral projections of these operators corresponding to the interval

(- i n f t y, l a m b d a)

. The purpose of the paper is to study the spectral properties of the difference

D (l a m b d a)

of these spectral projections. We completely describe the absolutely continuous spectrum of the operator

D (l a m b d a)

in terms of the eigenvalues of the scattering matrix

S (l a m b d a)

for the operators

H_{0}

and

H

. We also prove that the singular continuous spectrum of the operator

D (l a m b d a)

is empty.
