Spectral shift functions and Dirichlet-to-Neumann maps (1609.08292v1)
Published 27 Sep 2016 in math.SP, math-ph, math.AP, and math.MP
Abstract: The spectral shift function of a pair of self-adjoint operators is expressed via an abstract operator valued Titchmarsh--Weyl $m$-function. This general result is applied to different self-adjoint realizations of second-order elliptic partial differential operators on smooth domains with compact boundaries, Schr\"{o}dinger operators with compactly supported potentials, and finally, Schr\"{o}dinger operators with singular potentials supported on hypersurfaces. In these applications the spectral shift function is determined in an explicit form with the help of (energy parameter dependent) Dirichlet-to-Neumann maps.
