Resonances sets of Schrödinger operators
Yurii Belov, Pavel Gubkin
TL;DR
This work characterizes which resonance sets of one-dimensional Schrödinger operators on the half-line can be realized by compactly supported potentials. It proves that any Blaschke set $\Lambda$ contained in the lower-angle region $\{z:-\mathrm{Im}z\ge C|\mathrm{Re}z|\}$ can be embedded as resonances for some $q$ with compact support, and it provides sufficient conditions for realizability in wider domains via two complementary constructions: Hayman-type in Paley–Wiener spaces for the angle and Luxemburg–Korevaar constructions for broader regions. A detailed interpolation framework is developed, relying on $g\in\mathcal{PW}_\sigma$ and $H\in\mathcal{PW}_\gamma$ with prescribed zeros, together with contour/residue methods to guarantee convergence and the proper Jost-function structure. The results are shown to be sharp by constructing counterexamples that reveal intrinsic limits on how large a resonance set can be realized by any compactly supported potential, highlighting the delicate balance between Blaschke conditions, domain width, and resonance distribution.
Abstract
We prove that resonances of the Schrödinger operator with compactly supported potential can contain arbitrary subset of the angle $\{z: -\text{Im} z > C |\text{Re} z|\}$ that satisfies Blaschke condition. We also establish sufficient conditions for the subsets of wider domains.
