On the spectrum of the hierarchical Schrödinger type operators (2006.02263v1)

Abstract: The goal of this paper is the spectral analysis of the Schr\"{o}dinger type operator $H=L+V$, the perturbation of the Taibleson-Vladimirov multiplier $L=\mathfrak{D}^{\alpha}$ by a potential $V$. Assuming that $V$ belongs to a certain class of potentials we show that the discrete part of the spectrum of $H$ may contain negative energies, it also appears in the spectral gaps of $L$. We will split the spectrum of $H$ in two parts: high energy part containing eigenvalues which correspond to the eigenfunctions located on the support of the potential $V,$ and low energy part which lies in the spectrum of certain bounded Schr\"{o}dinger-type operator acting on the Dyson hierarchical lattice. We pay special attention to the class of sparse potentials. In this case we obtain precise spectral asymptotics for $H$ provided the sequence of distances between locations tends to infinity fast enough. We also obtain certain results concerning localization theory for $H$ subject to (non-ergodic) random potential $V$. Examples illustrate our approach.
