Abstract

Let H 0 be a radially symmetric function of the momentum − i∇ in \( {L^2}({\mathbb{R}^n}) \) and let H be a selfadjoint operator bounded from below. It is given a criterion for the asymptotic completeness of the scattering system {H 0, H} in terms of the semigroup difference \( {e^{ - sH}} - {e^{ - s{H_0}}}, \), where s > 0 is an arbitrary fixed value. The result is applied to H 0 = (− Δ)α/2.
