Analytic Continuation of Eigenvalues of a Quartic Oscillator

We consider the Schrödinger operator on the real line with even quartic potential x 4  +  α x 2 and study analytic continuation of eigenvalues, as functions of parameter α . We prove several properties of this analytic continuation conjectured by Bender, Wu, Loeffel and Martin. 1. All eigenvalues ar...

Shrnutí:We consider the Schrödinger operator on the real line with even quartic potential x 4  +  α x 2 and study analytic continuation of eigenvalues, as functions of parameter α . We prove several properties of this analytic continuation conjectured by Bender, Wu, Loeffel and Martin. 1. All eigenvalues are given by branches of two multi-valued analytic functions, one for even eigenfunctions and one for odd ones. 2. The only singularities of these multi-valued functions in the complex α -plane are algebraic ramification points, and there are only finitely many singularities over each compact subset of the α -plane.
