We use the transfer matrix formulation of scattering theory in two-dimensions to treat the scattering problem for a potential of the form $v(x,y)=\zeta\,\delta(ax+by)g(bx-ay)$ where $\zeta,a$, and $b$ are constants, $\delta(x)$ is the Dirac…
Let $S(k)$ be the scattering matrix for a Schr\"odinger operator (Laplacian plus potential) on $\RR^n$ with compactly supported smooth potential. It is well known that $S(k)$ is unitary and that the spectrum of $S(k)$ accumulates on the…
The classical Weyl-von Neumann theorem states that for any self-adjoint operator $A$ in a separable Hilbert space $\mathfrak H$ there exists a (non-unique) Hilbert-Schmidt operator $C = C^*$ such that the perturbed operator $A+C$ has purely…

We introduce the concept of a spectral shift operator and use it to derive Krein's spectral shift function for pairs of self-adjoint operators. Our principal tools are operator-valued Herglotz functions and their logarithms. Applications to…

\We consider an inverse scattering problem for Schr\"odinger operators with energy dependent potentials. The inverse problem is formulated as a Riemann-Hilbert problem on a Riemann surface. A vanishing lemma is proved for two distinct…
In the paper we revisit the basic problem of tunneling near a nondegenerate global maximum of a potential on the line. We reduce the semiclassical Schr\"odinger equation to a Weber normal form by means of the Liouville-Green transform. We…

We give a geometric proof of a theorem of Weyl on the continuous part of the spectrum of Sturm-Liouville operators on the half-line with asymptotically constant coefficients. Earlier proofs due to Weyl and Kodaira depend on special features…
This paper analyzes the scattering matrix for two unbounded self-adjoint operators: the standard Laplace operator in three-dimensional space and a second operator that differs from the first by an infinite sum of zero-range potentials.
We investigate trace formulas for one-dimensional Schroedinger operators which are trace class perturbations of quasi-periodic finite-gap operators using Krein's spectral shift theory. In particular, we establish the conserved quantities…
A solution of the scattering problem is obtained for the Schr\"odinger equation with the potential of induced dipole interaction, which decreases as the inverse square of the distance. Such a potential arises in the collision of an incident…
