Abstract

We consider the 3D Schr\"odinger operator H0H_0 with constant magnetic field BB of scalar intensity b>0b>0, and its perturbations H+H_+ (resp., HH_-) obtained by imposing Dirichlet (resp., Neumann) conditions on the boundary of the bounded domain ΩinR3\Omega_{\rm in} \subset {\mathbb R}^3. We introduce the Krein spectral shift functions ξ(E;H±,H0)\xi(E;H_\pm,H_0), E0E \geq 0, for the operator pairs (H±,H0)(H_\pm,H_0), and study their singularities at the Landau levels Λq:=b(2q+1)\Lambda_q : = b(2q+1), qZ+q \in {\mathbb Z}_+, which play the role of thresholds in the spectrum of H0H_0. We show that ξ(E;H+,H0)\xi(E;H_+,H_0) remains bounded as EΛqE \uparrow \Lambda_q, qZ+q \in {\mathbb Z}_+ being fixed, and obtain three asymptotic terms of ξ(E;H,H0)\xi(E;H_-,H_0) as EΛqE \uparrow \Lambda_q, and of ξ(E;H±,H0)\xi(E;H_\pm,H_0) as EΛqE \downarrow \Lambda_q. The first two terms are independent of the perturbation while the third one involves the {\em logarithmic capacity} of the projection of Ωin\Omega_{\rm in} onto the plane perpendicular to BB.
