We prove that the principal matrix is a matrix-valued holomorphic function on the region $\\mathcal{R}=\\{ z \\in \\mathbb{C}| \\Re(z) <0 \\}$ for two particular classes of Riemannian manifolds. We show that the essential spectrum of the Hamiltonian and that of the free Hamiltonian coincides. We finally give a sufficient condition for the Hamiltonian to have $N$ bound states and give an explicit criterion for it in hyperbolic manifolds.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2015-11-24T12:15:30.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "bound states", "point interactions", "dimensional riemannian manifolds", "free hamiltonian coincides", "somewhat heuristic arguments" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 23, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
