On the S-matrix of Schrödinger operator with nonlocal δ-interaction

Anna Główczyk
Sergiusz Kużel

Abstract. Schrödinger operators with nonlocal \(\delta\)-interaction are studied with the use of the Lax-Phillips scattering theory methods. The condition of applicability of the Lax-Phillips approach in terms of non-cyclic functions is established. Two formulas for the \(S\)-matrix are obtained. The first one deals with the Krein-Naimark resolvent formula and the Weyl-Titchmarsh function, whereas the second one is based on modified reflection and transmission coefficients. The \(S\)-matrix \(S(z)\) is analytical in the lower half-plane \(\mathbb{C}_{−}\) when the Schrödinger operator with nonlocal \(\delta\)-interaction is positive self-adjoint. Otherwise, \(S(z)\) is a meromorphic matrix-valued function in \(\mathbb{C}_{−}\) and its properties are closely related to the properties of the corresponding Schrödinger operator. Examples of \(S\)-matrices are given.

Keywords: Lax-Phillips scattering scheme, scattering matrix, \(S\)-matrix, nonlocal \(\delta\)-interaction, non-cyclic function.

Mathematics Subject Classification: 47B25, 47A40.
