We study the manner in which a sequence of spectral shift functions $\xi(\cdot;H_j,H_{0,j})$ associated with abstract pairs of self-adjoint operators $(H_j, H_{0,j})$ in Hilbert spaces $\cH_j$, $j\in\bbN$, converge to a limiting spectral…

Let $H_0$ and $H$ be self-adjoint operators in a Hilbert space. In the scattering theory framework, we describe the essential spectrum of the difference $\varphi(H)-\varphi(H_0)$ for piecewise continuous functions $\varphi$. This…

Let $A$ be a self-adjoint operator on a Hilbert space $\fH$. Assume that the spectrum of $A$ consists of two disjoint components $\sigma_0$ and $\sigma_1$. Let $V$ be a bounded operator on $\fH$, off-diagonal and $J$-self-adjoint with…

We examine two kinds of spectral theoretic situations: First, we recall the case of self-adjoint half-line Schr\"odinger operators on $[a,\infty)$, $a\in\mathbb{R}$, with a regular finite end point $a$ and the case of Schr\"odinger…

M.Levitin and E.Shargorodsky purposed in a recent article, [math.SP/0212087], the use of the so called ``second order relative spectrum'', to find eigenvalues of self-adjoint operators in gaps of the essential spectrum. Let $M$ be a…

We establish estimates and representations for the remainders of Taylor approximations of the spectral action functional $V\mapsto\tau(f(H_0+V))$ on bounded self-adjoint perturbations, where $H_0$ is a self-adjoint operator with…

In this paper, we consider Schr\"odinger operators on $L^2(0,\infty)$ given by \begin{align} Hu=(H_0+V)u=-u^{\prime\prime}+V_0u+Vu,\nonumber \end{align} where $V_0$ is real, $1$-periodic and $V$ is the perturbation. It is well known that…

We study a family of lattice Schr\"odinger operators $H_{\mu_1\mu_2}(K)$ describing two identical bosons on the three-dimensional cubic lattice $\mathbb{Z}^3$, where $K \in \mathbb{T}^3$ is the quasi-momentum, and $\mu_1, \mu_2 \in…

We consider non-self-adjoint operators in Hilbert spaces of the form $H=H_0+CWC$, where $H_0$ is self-adjoint, $W$ is bounded and $C$ is a metric operator, $C$ bounded and relatively compact with respect to $H_0$. We suppose that…

The spectral problem $(A + V(z))\psi=z\psi$ is considered with $A$, a self-adjoint Hamiltonian of sufficiently arbitrary nature. The perturbation $V(z)$ is assumed to depend on the energy $z$ as resolvent of another self-adjoint operator…

We study the spectral shift function (SSF) $\xi(\lambda)$ and the resonances of the operator $H_V := \big( \sigma \cdot (-i\nabla - \textbf{A}) \big)^{2} + V$ in $L^2(\mathbb{R}^3)$ near the origin. Here $\sigma :=…

We turn back to the well known problem of interpretation of the Schrodinger operator with the pseudopotential being the first derivative of the Dirac function. We show that the problem in its conventional formulation contains hidden…

We explore the Hamiltonian operator H=-d^2/dx^2 + z \delta(x) where x is real, \delta(x) is the Dirac delta function, and z is an arbitrary complex coupling constant. For a purely imaginary z, H has a (real) spectral singularity at…

A two-level atom coupled to the quantized radiation field is studied. In the physical relevant situation, the coupling function modeling the interaction between the two component behaves like $|k|^{-1/2}$, as the photon momentum tends to…

For two discrete-level quantum systems in interaction, we follow the displacement in the complex plane of the eigen-energies of the compound system when the spectrum of one of the two systems becomes continuous. These new points are usually…

Subwavelength metallic resonators provide a route to achieving strong light-matter coupling by means of tight confinement of resonant electromagnetic fields. Investigation of such resonators however often presents experimental difficulties,…
