Two-dimensional Schrödinger operators with non-local singular potentials (2410.10448v2)

Abstract: In this paper we introduce and study a family of self-adjoint realizations of the Laplacian in $L^2(\mathbb{R}^2)$ with a new type of transmission conditions along a closed bi-Lipschitz curve $\Sigma$. These conditions incorporate jumps in the Dirichlet traces both of the functions in the operator domains and of their Wirtinger derivatives and are non-local. Constructing a convenient generalized boundary triple, they may be parametrized by all compact hermitian operators in $L^2(\Sigma;\mathbb{C}^2)$. Whereas for all choices of parameters the essential spectrum is stable and equal to $[0, +\infty)$, the discrete spectrum exhibits diverse behaviour. While in many cases it is finite, we will describe also a class of parameters for which the discrete spectrum is infinite and accumulates at $-\infty$. The latter class contains a non-local version of the oblique transmission conditions. Finally, we will connect the current model to its relativistic counterpart studied recently in [L. Heriban, M. Tu\v{s}ek: Non-local relativistic $\delta$-shell interactions].
