Stark Hamiltonians with Hypersurface-Supported $\delta$-Interactions: Self-Adjoint Realization and Boundary Resolvent Formula
Abstract
We study Stark Hamiltonians with a -interaction supported on a compact hypersurface in . Let be a compact Lipschitz hypersurface and let . We define the operator as a self--adjoint realization of the formal Hamiltonian by imposing transmission conditions across . We then derive a boundary resolvent formula which expresses the resolvent of in terms of the free Stark resolvent and a boundary operator on . This reduces the spectral problem to the boundary and shows that the interaction can be treated as a boundary perturbation at the resolvent level. As an application, we prove that for every nonzero electric field the resolvent difference between and is compact on . It follows that the essential spectrum of coincides with . The argument is based on trace mapping properties for compact Lipschitz hypersurfaces and does not rely on translation invariance of the background operator.
