Abstract
Let H0 = - Δ + V0(x1), H = H 0 + V(x) be self-adjoint in L2(Rn). V 0 depends only on one coordinate and tends monotonically to ∓ ∞ as x1 → ± ∞. Vis a real H 0-compact potential, short range with respect to V0. In particular, the cases V0(x1) = - (sgn x 1)|x1|α, 0<α≤2 and |V(x)|≤C|x|-1 are included (α = 1 being the Stark effect). It is shown that (a) H is spectrally absolutely continuous over the entire real axis apart from a possible discrete sequence of eigenvalues of finite multiplicity and rapidly decaying eigenfunctions (H0 has no eigenvalues) and (b) the wave operators W±(H,H0) exist and are complete.
