Abstract

Let H0, D (resp., H0,N) be the Schroedinger operator in constant magnetic field on the half-plane with Dirichlet (resp., Neumann) boundary conditions, and let H_ℓ : = H0, ℓ - V, ℓ =D,N, where the scalar potential V is non negative, bounded, does not vanish identically, and decays at infinity. We compare the distribution of the eigenvalues of HD and HN below the respective infima of the essential spectra. To this end, we construct effective Hamiltonians which govern the asymptotic behaviour of the discrete spectrum of H_ℓ near inf σess(H_ℓ) = inf σ(H0,ℓ), ℓ = D,N. Applying these Hamiltonians, we show that σdisc(HD) is infinite even if V has a compact support, while σdisc(HN) could be finite or infinite depending on the decay rate of V.
