Spectrum and continuum eigenfunctions of Schrödinger operators

Abstract

We consider Schrödinger operators H = −1/2 Δ + V for a large class of potentials. V. We show that if Hϕ = Eϕ has a polynomially bounded solution ϕ then E is in the spectrum of H. This is accomplished by proving that the spectrum of H as an operator on L^2 is identical to its spectrum as an operator on the weighted L^2 space, L^2_δ.
