Wave operators and similarity of certain non-normal one-parameter groups

This paper starts from a self-adjoint Schrödinger operator H(0) for three particles. If the interaction is dilation-analytic, H(0) has an analytic continuation H() (>0). G(t,) (–) which is uniformly bounded but not normal. The group G(t,) has invariant subgroups G(t,a,) (a=1,...,M) giving rise to wave operators W(±,a,) with generalized inverses W(±,a,) defined as strong limits, when t±, of t-dependent operators. The wave operators establish transformations under which the subgroups are similar to unitary groups. The scattering matrix determined by G(t,) is diagonal with respect to a.This work was supported in part by the National Science Foundation under grant DMS-8301096.
