Abstract

Let V be a multiplication operator, whose negative part, V-(V- ≤ 0) obeys - Δ + (1 + ε{lunate})V- ≥ -c for some ε{lunate}, c > 0. Let W = Vχ where χ is the characteristic function of the exterior of a ball. Our main result asserts that the scattering for - Δ + V is complete if and only if that for - Δ + W is complete. Our technical estimates exploit Wiener integrals and the Feynman-Kac formula. We also make an application to acoustical scattering.
