We prove that the operator $\\mathcal{H}_0$, with $\\operatorname{Re}(V)\\geq 0$ and $\\operatorname{Re}(V)(x)\\to\\infty$ as $|x|\\to\\infty$, has a purely discrete spectrum under certain conditions. In the spirit of Colombini, De Giorgi, and Spagnolo, we also prove that the Cauchy problem with regular coefficients is well-posed in the associated Sobolev spaces, and when the propagation speed is H\\\"{o}lder continuous (or more regular), it is well-posed in Gevrey spaces. Furthermore, we prove that it is very weakly well-posed when the coefficients possess a distributional singularity.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2024-09-04T18:34:39.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "46F05", "58J40", "22E30" ], "keywords": [ "wave equation", "non-harmonic analysis", "schrödinger operators", "complex potential", "complex-valued multiplication operator" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 25, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
