To appear in Annali della Scuola Normale Superiore di Pisa, Classe di Scienze", "categories": [ "math-ph", "math.AP", "math.MP" ], "abstract": "We use boundary triples to find a parametrization of all self-adjoint extensions of the magnetic Schr\\\"odinger operator, in a quasi-convex domain~$\\Omega$ with compact boundary, and magnetic potentials with components in $\\textrm{W}^{1}_{\\infty}(\\overline{\\Omega})$. This gives also a new characterization of all self-adjoint extensions of the Laplacian in nonregular domains. Then we discuss gauge transformations for such self-adjoint extensions and generalize a characterization of the gauge equivalence of the Dirichlet magnetic operator for the Dirichlet Laplacian; the relation to the Aharonov-Bohm effect, including irregular solenoids, is also discussed. In particular, in case of (bounded) quasi-convex domains it is shown that if some extension is unitarily equivalent (through the multiplication by a smooth unit function) to a realization with zero magnetic potential, then the same occurs for all self-adjoint realizations.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2020-09-23T18:35:48.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "47B25", "35J10", "35J25", "35Q40", "78A25" ], "keywords": [ "self-adjoint extensions", "gauge transformations", "magnetic laplacian", "nonsmooth domains", "zero magnetic potential" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 34, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
