Number of bound states of the Hamiltonian of a lattice two-boson system with interactions up to the next neighbouring sites
We study the family $H_{γλμ}(K)$, $K\in \mathbb{T}^2,$ of discrete Schrödinger operators, associated to the Hamiltonian of a system of two identical bosons on the two-dimen\-sional lattice $\mathbb{Z}^2,$ interacting through on one site, nearest-neighbour sites and next-nearest-neighbour sites with interaction magnitudes $γ,λ$ and $μ,$ respectively. We prove there existence an important invariant subspace of operator $H_{γλμ}(0)$ such that the restriction of the operator $H_{γλμ}(0)$ on this subspace has at most two eigenvalues lying both as below the essential spectrum as well as above it, depending on the interaction magnitude $λ,μ\in \mathbb{R}$ (only). We also give a sharp lower bound for the number of eigenvalues of $H_{γλμ}(K)$.
