Let $H, V$ be self-adjoint operators such that $V$ belongs to the weak trace class ideal. We prove higher order perturbation formula $$\tau\big(f(H+V)-\sum_{j=0}^{n-1}\frac{1}{j!}\frac{d^j}{dt^j} f(H+tV)\big|_{t=0}\big)=\int_{\mathbb{R}}…

Operators conserving the indefinite scalar product on a Krein space $(K,J)$ are called $J$-unitary. Such an operator $T$ is defined to be $S^1$-Fredholm if $T-z$ is Fredholm for all $z$ on the unit circle $S^1$, and essentially $S^1$-gapped…

We consider the self-adjoint operator $H=H_0+V$, where $H_0$ is the free semi-classical Dirac operator on $R^3$. We suppose that the smooth matrix-valued potential $V=O(<x>^{-\delta}), \delta>0,$ has an analytic continuation in a complex…
