Spectral Shift Function for Schr¨odinger Operators in Constant Magnetic Fields

Abstract

We consider the three-dimensional Schr¨odinger operator with constant magnetic field, perturbed by an appropriate short-range electric potential, and investigate various asymptotic properties of the corresponding spectral shift function (SSF). First, we analyse the singularities of the SSF at the Landau levels. Further, we study the strong magnetic field asymptotic behaviour of the SSF; here we distinguish between the asymptotics far from the Landau levels, and near a given Landau level. Finally, we obtain a Weyl-type formula describing the high energy behaviour of the SSF.
