Perturbations of selfadjoint operators with discrete spectrum

Adduci, James

Abstract Details

2011, Doctor of Philosophy, Ohio State University, Mathematics.
Consider a selfadjoint operator A whose spectrum is a set of eigenvalues {t_1 < t_2 < ....} with corresponding eigenvectors {f_1, f_2,...}. Now introduce a perturbation B and set L = A+B. We prove that if t_{n+1} - t_n > C n^{a-1} and lim || Bf_n ||n^{1-a} = 0 for some fixed a > 1/2 then the spectrum of L = A + B is discrete, eventually simple and the set of eigenvectors of L = A + B plus at most finitely many associated vectors form an unconditional basis. As an application we consider Schrodinger operators of the form Ly = -y'' + |x|^c y + b(x)y on L^2(R) where b is a possible complex-valued function and c > 1.
