Spectral properties of a symmetric three-dimensional quantum dot with a pair of identical attractive delta- impurities symmetrically situated around the origin II

In this note, we continue our analysis (started in [1]) of the isotropic three-dimensional harmonic oscillator perturbed by a pair of identical attractive point interactions symmetrically situated with respect to the origin, that is to say, the mathematical model describing a symmetric quantum dot with a pair of point impurities. In particular, by making the coupling constant (to be renormalized) dependent also upon the separation distance between the two impurities, we prove that it is possible to rigorously define the unique selfadjoint Hamiltonian that, differently from the one introduced in [1], behaves smoothly as the separation distance between the impurities shrinks to zero. In fact, we rigorously prove that the Hamiltonian introduced in this note converges in the normresolventsense to that of the isotropic three-dimensional harmonic oscillator perturbed by a single attractive point interaction situated at the origin having double strength, thus making this threedimensionalmodel more similar to its onedimensionalanalog (not requiring the renormalization procedure) as well as to the threedimensionalmodel involving impurities given by potentials whose range may even be physically very short but different from zero. Moreover, we showthe manifestation of the Zeldovich effect, known also as level rearrangement, in the model investigated herewith. More precisely, we take advantage of our renormalization procedure to demonstrate the possibility of using the concept of ‘Zeldovich spiral’, introduced in the case ofperturbations given by rapidly decaying potentials, also in the case of point perturbations.
