Abstract

We study Schrödinger operators on Rn of the form
$$H = {H_v} = - \Delta + q(x) + V(x) $$
where q(x) is a positive definite quadratic form and V(x) a potential which may be considered as a perturbation. We show that the discrete spectrum of H has similar properties as that of the unperturbed H0 = -∆+q. In particular the singular points of the distribution on R: t → Tr eitH are the lengths of the periodic orbits of the hamiltonian flow associated to H0.This work was done in collaboration with G.Lebeau and L.Boutet de Monvel.
