Key Concepts

Wave Operators

Wave operators are central constructions in quantum scattering theory that relate the asymptotic free states of a system (described by a simpler 'free' Hamiltonian) to the actual interacting states (described by the full Hamiltonian). They capture the long-time behavior of a quantum system and are essential for defining scattering amplitudes.

Resolvent Operators and Regularization

Resolvent operators, typically expressed as (H - z)?¹, play a key role in spectral theory and scattering theory by addressing issues related to the continuous spectrum of the Hamiltonian. The introduction of a small imaginary component (i?) in the spectral parameter serves as a regularization procedure—often called the limiting absorption principle—to ensure convergence of integrals and manage singularities in the resolvent.

Intertwining Property

The intertwining property is an operator relation that shows how the full Hamiltonian and the free Hamiltonian are connected via the wave operators. It expresses that the action of the full Hamiltonian on the scattering states is equivalent to the action of the free Hamiltonian, up to a regularization shift. This property is crucial for the analysis of how perturbations affect the spectrum and dynamics in scattering processes.
