Spectral dimension and Bohr's formula for Schrodinger operators on unbounded fractal spaces

Abstract

We establish an asymptotic formulas for the eigenvalue counting function of the Schrödinger operator $-\Delta +V$ for some unbounded potentials $V$ on several types of unbounded fractal spaces. We give sufficient conditions for Bohr's formula to hold on metric measure spaces which admit a cellular decomposition, and then verify these conditions for fractafolds and fractal fields based on nested fractals. In particular, we partially answer a question of Fan, Khandker, and Strichartz regarding the spectral asymptotics of the harmonic oscillator potential on the infinite blow-up of a Sierpinski gasket.
