Abstract

We consider the self-adjoint Landau Hamiltonian H0 in L2(ℝ2) whose spectrum consists of infinitely degenerate eigenvalues Λq, q ∈ ℤ+, and the perturbed operator Hυ = H0 + υδΓ, where Γ⊂ ℝ2 is a regular Jordan C1,1-curve, and υ ∈ Lp(Γ;ℝ), p>1, has a constant sign. We investigate \rm Ker(Hυq), q ∈ ℤ+, and show that generically 0 ≤ \rm dim Ker(Hυq) - \rm dim Ker(Tq(υ δΓ)) lt; ∞, where Tq(υ δΓ) = pq (υ δΓ)pq, is an operator of Berezin-Toeplitz type, acting in pq L2(ℝ2), and pq is the orthogonal projection on \rm Ker (H0q). If υ ≠ 0 and q = 0, we prove that \rm Ker (T0(υ δΓ)) = \0\. If q ≥ 1, and Γ= Cr is a circle of radius r, we show that \rm dim Ker (TqCr)) ≤ q, and the set of r ∈ (0,∞) for which \rm dim Ker(TqCr)) ≥ 1, is infinite and discrete.
