| Summary: | In this article, we provide an expansion (up to the fourth order of the coupling constant) of the energy of the ground state of the Hamiltonian of a quantum mechanical particle moving inside a parabolic well in the <i>x</i>-direction and constrained by the presence of a two-dimensional impurity, modelled by an attractive two-dimensional isotropic Gaussian potential. By investigating the associated Birman–Schwinger operator and exploiting the fact that such an integral operator is Hilbert–Schmidt, we use the modified Fredholm determinant in order to compute the energy of the ground state created by the impurity. |
