✦ Synopsis
Using a probabilistic approach based on the Feynman-Kac formalism and the spectral radius of the shuttle operator, we prove that two-dimensional Schrödinger operators (H=-\Delta+V) with short-range potentials (V) satisfying (V(x)=\left.\right|_{\mid x \rightarrow \infty} 0\left(|x|^{-2}(\ln (|x|))^{-2-\varepsilon}\right)) for some (\varepsilon>0) are critical if and only if (H \psi=0) has a positive bounded distributional solution (\psi). It is shown that (apart from logarithmic refinements) our decay assumptions on (V(x)) as (|x| \rightarrow \infty) are the best possible. This yields a complete solution of a problem posed by Simon and extends an earlier result of Murata. 1995 Academic Press, Inc

Under certain conditions on the potential a one-dimensional Schradinger operator has a unique bound state in the limit of weak coupling while under other conditions no bound state is present in this limit. This question is investigated for potentials obeying s (1 + ] x I) I V(x)1 dx < ~0. An asympto
We study the unique bound state which (-d2/dx2) + hV and -A + XV (in two dimensions) have when A is small and V is suitable. Our main results give necessary and sufficient conditions for there to be a bound state when h is small and we prove analyticity (resp. nonanalyticity) of the energy eigenvalu
We consider the generalized Schro dinger operator &2++, where + is a nonnegative Radon measure in R n , n 3. Assuming that + satisfies certain scale-invariant Kato conditions and doubling conditions we establish the following bounds for the fundamental solution of &2++ in R n , where d(x, y, +) is
