Spectral Deformations of One-Dimensional Schrödinger
Fritz Gesztesy, Barry Simon, and Gerald Teschl
We provide a complete spectral characterization of a new method of constructing
isospectral (in fact, unitary) deformations of general Schrödinger operators
H=-d2/dx2 +V in L2 (ℝ). Our technique is connected to Dirichlet data, that
is, the spectrum of the operator HD on L2 ((-∞, x0))⊕ L2 ((x0, ∞))
with a Dirichlet boundary condition at x0. The transformation moves a single eigenvalue of
HD and perhaps flips which side of x0 the eigenvalue lives. On the remainder of
the spectrum, the transformation is realized by a unitary operator. For cases such as
V(x)→ ∞ as |x|→∞, where V is uniquely determined by the spectrum
of H and the Dirichlet data, our result implies that the specific
Dirichlet data allowed are determined only by the asymptotics as E→∞.
