Dixmier trace and the DOS of perturbed magnetic operators

Abstract

The main goal of this work is to provide a description of the {trace per unit volume} in terms of the {Dixmier trace} (regularized by the resolvent of the harmonic oscillator) for a large class of two-dimensional \emph{magnetic operators} perturbed by (homogeneous) {potentials}. One of the payoffs of this result is the possibility of reinterpreting the {density of states} (DOS) of these perturbed magnetic systems via the {Dixmier trace}, and taking advantage of the fact that this quantity can be conveniently calculated on the basis of the Laguerrre functions that diagonalize the harmonic oscillator.
