Spectral Analysis of a Two Body Problem with Zero Range Perturbation

Abstract

We consider a class of singular, zero-range perturbations of the Hamiltonian of a quantum system composed by a test particle and a harmonic oscillators in dimension one, two and three and we study its spectrum. In facts we give a detailed characterization of point spectrum and its asymptotic behavior with respect to the parameters entering the Hamiltonian. We also partially describe the positive spectrum and scattering properties of the Hamiltonian.
