With the essential spectrum of a self-adjoint operator given a relatively trace class perturbation one can associate an integer-valued invariant which admits different descriptions as the singular spectral shift function, total resonance…

It has been shown recently that spectral flow admits a natural integer-valued extension to essential spectrum. This extension admits four different interpretations; two of them are singular spectral shift function and total resonance index.…

Let $H_0 = -\Delta + V_0(x)$ be a Schroedinger operator on $L_2(\mathbb{R}^\nu),$ $\nu=1,2,$ or 3, where $V_0(x)$ is a bounded measurable real-valued function on $\mathbb{R}^\nu.$ Let $V$ be an operator of multiplication by a bounded…

We define a switch function to be a function from an interval to $\{1,-1\}$ with a finite number of sign changes. (Special cases are the Walsh functions.) By a topological argument, we prove that, given $n$ real-valued functions, $f_1,…

We consider a compact perturbation $H_0 = S + K_0^* K_0$ of a self-adjoint operator $S$ with an eigenvalue $\lambda^\circ$ below its essential spectrum and the corresponding eigenfunction $f$. The perturbation is assumed to be "along" the…

Given a self-adjoint operator $H_0$ and a relatively $H_0$-compact self-adjoint operator $V,$ the functions $r_j(z) = - \sigma_j^{-1}(z),$ where $\sigma_j(z)$ are eigenvalues of the compact operator $(H_0-z)^{-1}V,$ bear a lot of important…

Given a self-adjoint operator $H_0$ and a relatively compact self-adjoint perturbation $V$, we study in some detail the spectral properties of the product $(H_0-z)^{-1}V$. For some numbers $r_z,$ the eigenvalues of $(H_0 + s V - z)^{-1}V$…

For the pair $\{-\Delta, -\Delta-\alpha\delta_\mathcal{C}\}$ of self-adjoint Schr\"{o}dinger operators in $L^2(\mathbb{R}^n)$ a spectral shift function is determined in an explicit form with the help of (energy parameter dependent)…

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…

Recently the authors solved a long-standing problem and showed that for an arbitrary pair of contractions on Hilbert space with trace class difference has an integrable spectral shift function on the unit circle ${\Bbb T}$ and an analogue…

The aim of this article is twofold: give a short proof of the existence of real spectral shift function and the associated trace formula for a pair of contractions, the difference of which is trace-class and one of the two a strict…

We survey the notion of the spectral shift function of a pair of self-adjoint operators and recent progress on its connection with the Witten index. We also describe a proof of Krein's Trace Theorem that does not use complex analysis [53]…

We affirmatively settle the question on existence of a real-valued higher order spectral shift function for a pair of self-adjoint operators $H$ and $V$ such that $V$ is bounded and $V(H-iI)^{-1}$ belongs to a Schatten-von Neumann ideal…

This paper is devoted to the definition and analysis of the spectral shift function (SSF) associated with non-self-adjoint perturbations of self-adjoint operators. Motivated by applications in scattering theory, we consider both trace-class…

In this survey article we consider the operator pair $(H,H_0)$ where $H_0$ is the shifted 3D Schr\"odinger operator with constant magnetic field, $H : = H_0 + V$, and $V$ is a short-range electric potential of a fixed sign. We describe the…

We compute the Fredholm index, ${\rm ind}(D_A)$, of the operator $D_A = (d/dt) + A$ on $L^2(\mathbb{R};\mathcal{H})$ associated with the operator path $\{A(t)\}_{t=-\infty}^{\infty}$, where $(A f)(t) = A(t) f(t)$ for a.e. $t\in\mathbb{R}$,…
