Most importantly, due to the spatial localization of the interactions the two-body problem is of a non-separable nature. We will discuss the presence of embedded eigenvalues and using the detailed knowledge about the kernel of the resolvent we prove a version of the limiting absorption principle. Furthermore, by an appropriate adaptation of the Lippmann-Schwinger approach we are able to construct generalized eigenfunctions which consequently allow us to establish an explicit expression for the (on-shell) scattering amplitude. An approximation of the scattering amplitude in the weak-coupling limit is also derived.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2017-02-02T22:27:07.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "81U05", "81U15", "81Q10", "81Q50", "81Q37", "81Q35", "81Q80" ], "keywords": [ "scattering properties", "interacting particles", "scattering amplitude", "quantum two-body problem", "singular two-particle interactions" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
