Weak coupling limit for Schrödinger-type operators with degenerate kinetic energy for a large class of potentials

Abstract

We improve results by Frank, Hainzl, Naboko, and Seiringer [12] and Hainzl and Seiringer [20] on the weak coupling limit of eigenvalues for Schrödinger-type operators whose kinetic energy vanishes on a codimension one submanifold. The main technical innovation that allows us to go beyond the potentials considered in [12, 20] is the use of the Tomas-Stein theorem.

27 pages. Title changed, corrected misprints, included further details in some proofs, carried out some extensions of the main result (more general kinetic energies, second order in the asymptotics, improvements for potentials with further symmetries). This is a preprint of an article published in Letters in Mathematical Physics, available online at https://doi.org/10.1007/s11005-021-01385-2
