Abstract

Let ΣRd\Sigma\subset\mathbb R^d be a CC^\infty-smooth closed compact hypersurface, which splits the Euclidean space Rd\mathbb R^d into two domains Ω±\Omega_\pm. In this note self-adjoint Schrödinger operators with δ\delta and δ\delta'-interactions supported on Σ\Sigma are studied. For large enough mNm\in\mathbb N the difference of mmth powers of resolvents of such a Schrödinger operator and the free Laplacian is known to belong to the trace class. We prove trace formulae, in which the trace of the resolvent power difference in L2(Rd)L^2(\mathbb R^d) is written in terms of Neumann-to-Dirichlet maps on the boundary space L2(Σ)L^2(\Sigma).
