SCHRÖDINGER OPERATORS ON HOMOGENEOUS METRIC TREES: SPECTRUM IN GAPS

From MaRDI portal




Abstract: The paper studies the spectral properties of the Schr"odinger operator AgV=A0+gV on a homogeneous rooted metric tree, with a decaying real-valued potential V and a coupling constant gge0. The spectrum of the free Laplacian A0=Delta has a band-gap structure with a single eigenvalue of infinite multiplicity in the middle of each finite gap. The perturbation gV gives rise to extra eigenvalues in the gaps. These eigenvalues are monotone functions of g if the potential V has a fixed sign. Assuming that the latter condition is satisfied and that V is symmetric, i.e. depends on the distance to the root of the tree, we carry out a detailed asymptotic analysis of the counting function of the discrete eigenvalues in the limit goinfty. Depending on the sign and decay of V, this asymptotics is either of the Weyl type or is completely determined by the behaviour of V at infinity.
