Abstract

We study Schr\"odinger operators H=Δ+VH=-\Delta+V in L2(Ω)L^2(\Omega) where Ω\Omega is Rd\mathbb R^d or the half-space R+d\mathbb R_+^d, subject to (real) Robin boundary conditions in the latter case. For p>dp>d we construct a non-real potential VLp(Ω)L(Ω)V\in L^p(\Omega)\cap L^{\infty}(\Omega) that decays at infinity so that HH has infinitely many non-real eigenvalues accumulating at every point of the essential spectrum σess(H)=[0,)\sigma_{\rm ess}(H)=[0,\infty). This demonstrates that the Lieb-Thirring inequalities for selfadjoint Schr\"odinger operators are no longer true in the non-selfadjoint case.
