Abstract:
In this paper, we study the behavior of eigenvalues and eigenfunctions of Schrödinger operators whose potentials have finitely many negative singularities. We prove that if potentials behave like $O(|x-p_i|^{-Ï})(0<Ï<2)$ near singular points $x=p_i$, then eigenvalues behave like $O(h^{-\frac{2Ï}{2-Ï}})$ when the Planck constant $h$ approaches to zero. Then we obtain the asymptotic expansion of the eigenvalues and eigenfunctions in $h$. We also study the splitting of the lowest eigenvalues and show that the asymptotic is estimated by a suitable Riemann metric called Agmon distance.
