Abstract

We consider scattering theory for a pair of operators H0H_0 and H=H0+VH=H_0+V on L2(M,m)L^2(M,m), where MM is a Riemannian manifold, H0H_0 is a multiplication operator on MM and VV is a pseudodifferential operator of order μ-\mu, μ>1\mu>1. We show that a time-dependent scattering theory can be constructed, and the scattering matrix is a pseudodifferential operator on each energy surface. Moreover, the principal symbol of the scattering matrix is given by a Born approximation type function. The main motivation of the study comes from applications to discrete Schr\"odigner operators, but it also applies to various differential operators with constant coefficients and short-range perturbations on Euclidean spaces.
