Rank One Perturbations Supported by Hybrid Geometries and Their Deformations

We study the hybrid type of rank one perturbations in $\mathbb{R}^2$ and $\mathbb{R}^3$, where the perturbation supported by a circle/sphere is considered together with the delta potential supported by a point outside of the circle/sphere. The construction of the self-adjoint Hamiltonian operator associated with the formal expressions for the rank one perturbation supported by a circle and by a point is explicitly given. The bound state energies and scattering properties for each problem are also studied. Finally, we consider the rank one perturbation supported by a deformed circle/sphere and show that the first order change in the bound state energies under small deformations of the circle/sphere has a simple geometric interpretation. Finally, we consider the delta potentials supported by deformed circle/sphere and show that the first order change in the bound state energies under small deformations of circle/sphere has a simple geometric interpretation.

Comment on "Scattering of light by a parity-time-symmetric dipole beyond the first Born approximation"

In [J. A. Rebou\c{c}as and P. A. Brand\~{a}o, Phys. Rev. A 104, 063514 (2021)] the authors compute the scattering amplitude for a $\mathcal{P}\mathcal{T}$-symmetric double-delta-function potential in three dimensions by invoking the far-zone approximation and summing the resulting Born series. We show that the analysis of this paper suffers from a basic error. Therefore its results are inconclusive. We give an exact closed-form expression for the scattering amplitude of this potential.

A Direct Method For the Low Energy Scattering Solution of Delta Shell Potentials

A direct method for the bound states and the low energy scattering from a circular and a spherical delta shell potentials is proposed and the results are compared with the one using the standard partial wave analysis developed for potentials with rotational symmetry. The formulation is presented in momentum space and the scattering solutions are obtained by considering the elementary use of distributions. In this approach, the outgoing boundary conditions are imposed explicitly in contrast to the $iε$ prescription often used in quantum mechanics.

Geometric scattering in the presence of line defects

A non-relativistic scalar particle moving on a curved surface undergoes a geometric scattering whose behavior is sensitive to the theoretically ambiguous values of the intrinsic and extrinsic curvature coefficients entering the expression for the quantum Hamiltonian operator. This suggests using the scattering data to settle the ambiguity in the definition of the Hamiltonian. It has recently been shown that the inclusion of point defects on the surface enhances the geometric scattering effects. We perform a detailed study of the geometric scattering phenomenon in the presence of line defects for the case that the particle is confined to move on a Gaussian bump and the defect(s) are modeled by delta-function potentials supported on a line or a set of parallel lines normal to the scattering axis. In contrast to a surface having point defects, the scattering phenomenon associated with this system is generically geometric in nature in the sense that for a flat surface the scattering amplitude vanishes for all scattering angles $θ$ except $θ=θ_0$ and $π-θ_0$, where $θ_0$ is the angle of incidence. We show that the presence of the line defects amplifies the geometric scattering due to the Gaussian bump. This amplification effect is particularly strong when the center of the bump is placed between two line defects.
