Abstract

We consider the Landau Hamiltonian perturbed by a long-range electric potential VV. The spectrum of the perturbed operator consists of eigenvalue clusters which accumulate to the Landau levels. First, we obtain an estimate of the rate of the shrinking of these clusters to the Landau levels as the number of the cluster qq tends to infinity. Further, we assume that there exists an appropriate \V\V, homogeneous of order ρ-\rho with ρ(0,1)\rho \in (0,1), such that V(x)=\V(x)+O(xρϵ)V(x) = \V(x) + O(|x|^{-\rho - \epsilon}), ϵ>0\epsilon > 0, as x|x| \to \infty, and investigate the asymptotic distribution of the eigenvalues within a given cluster, as qq \to \infty. We obtain an explicit description of the asymptotic density of the eigenvalues in terms of the mean-value transform of \V\V.
