Abstract

We consider the Schr\"odinger operator HηW=Δ+ηWH_{\eta W} = -\Delta + \eta W, self-adjoint in L2(Rd)L^2({\mathbb R}^d), d1d \geq 1. Here η\eta is a non constant almost periodic function, while WW decays slowly and regularly at infinity. We study the asymptotic behaviour of the discrete spectrum of HηWH_{\eta W} near the origin, and due to the irregular decay of ηW\eta W, we encounter some non semiclassical phenomena. In particular, HηWH_{\eta W} has less eigenvalues than suggested by the semiclassical intuition.
