Abstract: We consider a class of singular, zero-range perturbations of the Hamiltonian of a quantum system composed by a test particle and a harmonic oscillators in dimension one, two and three and we study its spectrum. In facts we give a detailed characterization of point spectrum and its asymptotic behavior with respect to the parameters entering the Hamiltonian. We also partially describe the positive spectrum and scattering properties of the Hamiltonian.

Review text

The authors consider a quantum system in \(\mathbb R^d\) (\(d=1,2,3\)) composed of a test particle and a harmonic oscillator interacting through a zero-range force concentrated on a hyperplane. The Hamiltonian is formally written as \(H_\alpha^\omega =H_0^\omega +\alpha \delta (\overarrow{x}- \overarrow{y})\), \(H_0^\omega =-\frac{1}2\Delta_{\overarrow{x}} -\frac{1}2\Delta_{\overarrow{y}}+\frac{\omega^2y^2}2 -\frac{\omega d}2\). An accurate introduction of \(H_\alpha^\omega\) as a selfadjoint operator on \(L_2(\mathbb R^{2d})\) is achieved by the method of quadratic forms. The authors give (separately for each dimension \(d\)) a detailed description of point spectum, its asymptotic behavior with respect to the parameters \(\omega\) and \(\alpha\). Some results regarding the positive spectrum and the scattering properties of the Hamiltonian are also given.
