Abstract

We review a variety of recently obtained trace formulas for one- and multi-dimensional Schrödinger operators. Some of the results are extended to Sturm- Liouville and matrix-valued Schrödinger operators. Furthermore, we recall a set of trace formulas in one, two, and three dimensions related to point interactions as well as a uniqueness result for three-dimensional Schrödinger operators with spherically symmetric potentials.
