More precisely, when a given Sturm-Liouville eigenvalue\u0000problem with the unknown integrable potential interacts with $delta$-function\u0000potentials, we obtain a family of perturbation problems, called point\u0000interaction models in quantum mechanics. Then, only depending on the first\u0000eigenvalues of these perturbed problems, we define and study the first\u0000eigenvalue function, by which the desired potential can be expressed explicitly\u0000and uniquely. As by-products, using the analytic function theoretic tools, we\u0000also generalize several fundamental theorems of classical Sturm-Liouville\u0000problems to measure differential equations.","PeriodicalId":501373,"journal":{"name":"arXiv - MATH - Spectral Theory","volume":"62 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141770796","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
{"title":"Generalized Morse Functions, Excision and Higher Torsions","authors":"Martin Puchol, Junrong Yan","doi":"arxiv-2407.17100","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/arxiv-2407.17100","url":null,"abstract":"Comparing invariants from both topological and geometric perspectives is a\u0000key focus in index theorem. This paper compares higher analytic and topological\u0000torsions and establishes a version of the higher Cheeger-M\"uller/Bismut-Zhang\u0000theorem. In fact, Bismut-Goette achieved this comparison assuming the existence\u0000of fiberwise Morse functions satisfying the fiberwise Thom-Smale transversality\u0000condition (TS condition). To fully generalize the theorem, we should remove\u0000this assumption. Notably, unlike fiberwise Morse functions, fiberwise\u0000generalized Morse functions (GMFs) always exist, we extend Bismut-Goette's\u0000setup by considering a fibration $ M to S $ with a unitarily flat complex\u0000bundle $ F to M $ and a fiberwise GMF $ f $, while retaining the TS condition. Compared to Bismut-Goette's work, handling birth-death points for a\u0000generalized Morse function poses a key difficulty. To address this, first, by\u0000the work of the author M.P., joint with Zhang and Zhu, we focus on a relative\u0000version of the theorem. Here, analytic and topological torsions are normalized\u0000by subtracting their corresponding torsions for trivial bundles. Next, using\u0000new techniques from by the author J.Y., we excise a small neighborhood around\u0000the locus where $f$ has birth-death points. This reduces the problem to\u0000Bismut-Goette's settings (or its version with boundaries) via a Witten-type\u0000deformation. However, new difficulties arise from very singular critical points\u0000during this deformation.To address these, we extend methods from Bismut-Lebeau,\u0000using Agmon estimates for noncompact manifolds developed by Dai and J.Y.","PeriodicalId":501373,"journal":{"name":"arXiv - MATH - Spectral Theory","volume":"25 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141770808","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
