A family of discrete Schroedinger operators is investigated through scattering theory. The continuous spectrum of these operators exhibit changes of multiplicity, and some of these operators possess resonances at thresholds. It is shown…
A topological version of Levinson's theorem is presented. Its proof relies on a C*-algebraic framework which is introduced in detail. Various scattering systems are considered in this framework, and more coherent explanations for the…
We apply the recently generalized Levinson theorem for potentials with inverse square singularities [Sheka et al, Phys.Rev.A, v.68, 012707 (2003)] to Aharonov-Bohm systems in two-dimensions. By this theorem, the number of bound states in a…
We prove a general Levinson's theorem for Schr\"odinger operators in two dimensions with threshold obstructions at zero energy. Our results confirm and simplify earlier seminal results of Boll\'e, Gesztesy et al., while providing an…
In the framework of scattering theory, we show how the scattering matrix can be related to the projection on the bound states by an index map of K-theory. Pairings with appropriate cyclic cocyles lead naturally to a topological version of…
Various threshold effects are investigated on a discrete quasi-1D scattering system. In particular, one of these effects is to add corrections to Levinson's theorem. We explain how these corrections are due to the opening or to the closing…
We build on work of Kellendonk, Richard, Tiedra de Aldecoa and others to show that the wave operators for Schr\"{o}dinger scattering theory on $\mathbb{R}^n$ generically have a particular form. As a consequence, Levinson's theorem can be…
The matrix Schroedinger equation with a selfadjoint matrix potential is considered on the half line with the general selfadjoint boundary condition at the origin. When the matrix potential is integrable, the high-energy asymptotics are…
This paper proves new results on spectral and scattering theory for matrix-valued Schr\"odinger operators on the discrete line with non-compactly supported perturbations whose first moments are assumed to exist. In particular, a Levinson…
The paper is a presentation of recent investigations on potential scattering in R^3. We advocate a new formula for the wave operators and deduce the various outcomes that follow from this formula. A topological version of Levinson's theorem…
We prove an analog of Levinson's theorem for scattering on a weighted (m+1)-vertex graph with a semi-infinite path attached to one of its vertices. In particular, we show that the number of bound states in such a scattering problem is equal…
We prove Levinson's theorem for scattering on an (m+n)-vertex graph with n semi-infinite paths each attached to a different vertex, generalizing a previous result for the case n=1. This theorem counts the number of bound states in terms of…
In this note Levinson theorems for Schroedinger operators in R^n with one point interaction at 0 are derived using the concept of winding numbers. These results are based on new expressions for the associated wave operators.
In this review paper we carry on our investigations on Schroedinger operators with inverse square potentials on the half-line. Depending on several parameters, such operators possess either a finite number of complex eigenvalues, or an…
We realise the number of bound states of a Schr\"{o}dinger operator on $\mathbb{R}^n$ as an index pairing in all dimensions. Expanding on ideas of Guillop\'{e} and others, we use high-energy corrections to find representatives of the…
The scattering problem under the influence of the Aharonov-Bohm (AB) potential is reconsidered. By solving the Lippmann-Schwinger (LS) equation we obtain the wave function of the scattering state in this system. In spite of working with a…
We present and demonstrate a version of Levinson's theorem especially dedicated to the asymptotic behavior of form factor phases. Indeed, as required by analyticity, form factors are multi-valued complex functions of a square four-momentum…
We propose to interpret Levinson's theorem as an index theorem. This exhibits its topological nature. It furthermore leads to a more coherent explanation of the corrections due to resonances at thresholds.
We review the spectral and the scattering theory for the Aharonov-Bohm model on R^2. New formulae for the wave operators and for the scattering operator are presented. The asymptotics at high and at low energy of the scattering operator are…
We determine the low-energy behaviour of the scattering operator of two-dimensional Schr\"odinger operators with any type of obstructions at 0-energy. We also derive explicit formulas for the wave operators in the absence of p-resonances,…
