Abstract

This paper deals with the approximation of a magnetic Schr\"odinger operator with a singular δ\delta-potential that is formally given by (i+A)2+Q+αδΣ(i \nabla + A)^2 + Q + \alpha \delta_\Sigma by Schr\"odinger operators with regular potentials in the norm resolvent sense. This is done for Σ\Sigma being the finite union of C2C^2-hypersurfaces, for coefficients AA, QQ, and α\alpha under almost minimal assumptions such that the associated quadratic forms are closed and sectorial, and QQ and α\alpha are allowed to be complex-valued functions. In particular, Σ\Sigma can be a graph in R2\mathbb{R}^2 or the boundary of a piecewise C2C^2-domain. Moreover, spectral implications of the mentioned convergence result are discussed.
