Construction of vacuum for the positive-energy representation and its Bose counterpart.
In this article, we give a necessary and sufficient condition in the perturbation regime on the existence of eigenvalues embedded between two thresholds. For an eigenvalue of the unperturbed operator embedded at a threshold, we prove that it can produce both discrete eigenvalues and resonances. The locations of the eigenvalues and resonances are given.
A method to study the embedded point spectrum of self-adjoint operators is described. The method combines the Mourre theory and the Limiting Absorption Principle with the Feshbach Projection Method. A more complete description of this method is contained in a joint paper with V. Jakić, where it is applied to a study of embedded point spectrum of Pauli-Fierz Hamiltonians.
The Hartree-Fock exchange operator is an integral operator arising in the Hartree-Fock model as well as in some instances of the density functional theory. In a number of applications, it is convenient to approximate this integral operator by a multiplication operator, i.e. by a local potential. This article presents a detailed analysis of the mathematical properties of various local approximations to the nonlocal Hartree-Fock exchange operator including the Slater potential, the optimized effective...
