Abstract. We study the manner in which a sequence of spectral shift functions ξ(·; H j , H 0,j ) associated with abstract pairs of self-adjoint operators (H j , H 0,j ) in Hilbert spaces H j , j ∈ N, converge to a limiting spectral shift function ξ(·; H, H 0 ) associated with a pair (H, H 0 ) in the limiting Hilbert space H as j → ∞ (mimicking the infinite volume limit in concrete applications to multi-dimensional Schrödinger operators).Our techniques rely on a Fredholm determinant approach combined with certain measure theoretic facts. In particular, we show that prior vague convergence results for spectral shift functions in the literature actually extend to the notion of weak convergence. More precisely, in the concrete case of multidimensional Schrödinger operators on a sequence of domains Ω j exhausting R n as j → ∞, we extend the convergence of associated spectral shift functions from vague to weak convergence and also from Dirichlet boundary conditions to more general self-adjoint boundary conditions on ∂Ω j .

We study the manner in which spectral shift functions associated with self-adjoint one-dimensional Schrödinger operators on the finite interval (0, R) converge in the infinite volume limit R → ∞ to the half-line spectral shift function.Relying on a Fredholm determinant approach combined with certain measure theoretic facts, we show that prior vague convergence results in the literature in the special case of Dirichlet boundary conditions extend to the notion of weak convergence and arbitrary separated self-adjoint boundary conditions at x = 0 and x = R.In Section 2 we introduce basic facts on one-dimensional Schrödinger operators, describe associated Green's functions, Krein-type resolvent formulas, compute the integral kernel for the square root of the resolvent of the Dirichlet Laplacian on a finite interval and on a half-line. In addition, we derive Jost-Pais-type [30] (cf. also [18] and the extensive literature therein) reductions of Fredholm determinants corresponding to Birman-Schwinger-type kernels to Wronski determinants of appropriate solutions of the associated Schrödinger equation. Basic convergence results of resolvents and closely related operators (including Birman-Schwinger-type kernels) are discussed in Section 3. Finally, our principal Section 4 provides a new approach to vague, and especially, weak convergence of spectral shift functions in the infinite volume limit based on the convergence of underlying Fredholm determinants combined with certain measure theoretic facts. We refer to Theorem 4.12 for the main result of this paper. The latter considerably extends (1.3) in a variety of ways: First, g(·) in (1.3) can now be replaced by f (·)/(1 + λ 2 ) with f a bounded continuous function (this can further be improved). Second, we can permit any separated self-adjoint boundary conditions (not just Dirichlet boundary conditions) at x = 0 and x = R. Third, we can permit real-valued (singular) potentials V satisfying V ∈ L 1 ((0, ∞); dx) (in the case of Dirichlet boundary conditions at x = 0 one can even permit V ∈ L 1 ((0, ∞); [x/(1 + x)]dx), cf. Remark 2.8). Appendix A collects basic properties of spectral shift functions used in Section 4, and Appendix B derives a particular decomposition formula relating spectral shift functions for the interval (0, R 1 ) and (0, R 2 ), 0 < R 1 < R 2 , associated with Dirichlet boundary conditions at x = 0, R 1 , R 2 .Finally, we briefly summarize some of the notation used in this paper: Let H be a separable complex Hilbert space, (·, ·) H the scalar product in H (linear in the second argument), and I H the identity operator in H. Next, let T be a linear operator mapping (a subspace of) a Hilbert space into another, with dom(T ) and ker(T ) denoting the domain and kernel (i.e., null space) of T . The resolvent set of a closed linear operator in H will be denoted by ρ(·). The Banach spaces of bounded (resp., compact) linear operators on H is denoted by B(H) (resp., B ∞ (H)). The corresponding p -based trace ideals will be denoted by B p (H), p > 0.The form sum (res...

We study the asymptotics of the difference of the ground-state energies of two non-interacting N -particle Fermi gases in a finite volume of length L in the thermodynamic limit up to order 1/L. We are particularly interested in subdominant terms proportional to 1/L, called finite-size energy. In the nineties Affleck and coauthors [Aff97, ZA97] claimed that the finite-size energy is related to the decay exponent occurring in Anderson's orthogonality. We prove that the finite-size energy depends on the details of the thermodynamic limit and is therefore non-universal. Typically, it includes an additional linear term in the scattering phase shift.
