Perturbation of an eigenvalue from a dense point spectrum: a general Floquet Hamiltonian
Abstract
We consider a perturbed Floquet Hamiltonian in the Hilbert space . Here is a self-adjoint operator in with a discrete spectrum obeying a growing gap condition, is a symmetric bounded operator in depending on -periodically, is a frequency and is a coupling constant. The spectrum of the unperturbed part is pure point and dense in for almost every . This fact excludes application of the regular perturbation theory. Nevertheless we show, for almost all and provided is sufficiently smooth, that the perturbation theory still makes sense, however, with two modifications. First, the coupling constant is restricted to a set which need not be an interval but 0 is still a point of density of . Second, the Rayleigh-Schrodinger series are asymptotic to the perturbed eigen-value and the perturbed eigen-vector.
