Determining Spectra in Quantum Theory

by Michael Demuth

"The spectral theory of Schrodinger operators, in particular those with random potentials, continues to be a very active field of research. This work focuses on various known criteria in the spectral theory of selfadjoint operators in order to identify the spectrum and its components a la Lebesgue decomposition." This concise unified presentation is aimed at graduate students and researchers working in the spectral theory of Schrodinger operators with either fixed or random potentials in particular. However, given the large gap that this book fills in the literature, it will serve a wider audience of mathematical physicists in its contribution to works in spectral theory.
