On a conjectured property of the witten index and an application to levinson’s theorem

Mathematical Sciences Institute

Research output: Contribution to journal › Article › peer-review

Abstract

A few years ago Fritz Gesztesy raised the issue of whether there was a composition rule for the Witten index analogous to that satisfied by Fredholm operators. In this note we prove a result in this direction and provide an application to Levinson’s theorem.
