Abstract

We consider the Hamiltonian HH of a 3D spinless non-relativistic quantum particle subject to parallel constant magnetic and non-constant electric field. The operator HH has infinitely many eigenvalues of infinite multiplicity embedded in its continuous spectrum. We perturb HH by appropriate scalar potentials VV and investigate the transformation of these embedded eigenvalues into resonances. First, we assume that the electric potentials are dilation-analytic with respect to the variable along the magnetic field, and obtain an asymptotic expansion of the resonances as the coupling constant ϰ\varkappa of the perturbation tends to zero. Further, under the assumption that the Fermi Golden Rule holds true, we deduce estimates for the time evolution of the resonance states with and without analyticity assumptions; in the second case we obtain these results as a corollary of suitable Mourre estimates and a recent article of Cattaneo, Graf and Hunziker \cite{cgh}. Next, we describe sets of perturbations VV for which the Fermi Golden Rule is valid at each embedded eigenvalue of HH; these sets turn out to be dense in various suitable topologies. Finally, we assume that VV decays fast enough at infinity and is of definite sign, introduce the Krein spectral shift function for the operator pair (H+V,H)(H+V, H), and study its singularities at the energies which coincide with eigenvalues of infinite multiplicity of the unperturbed operator HH.
