Given two weighted graphs (X, b(k), m(k)), k = 1, 2 with b(1) similar to b(2) and m(1) similar to m(2), we prove a weighted L-1-criterion for the existence and completeness of the wave operators W-+/- (H-2, H-1, I-1,I-2), where H-k denotes the natural Laplacian in l(2)(X, m(k)) w.r.t. (X, b(k), m(k)) and I-1,I-2 the trivial identification of l(2)(X, m(1)) with l(2) (X, m(2)). In particular, this entails a general criterion for the absolutely continuous spectra of H-1 and H-2 to be equal.
We prove a Feynman path integral formula for the unitary group exp(-itL(nu,theta)), t >= 0, associated with a discrete magnetic Schrodinger operator L-nu,L-theta on a large class of weighted infinite graphs. As a consequence, we get a new Kato-Simon estimate
vertical bar exp(- itL(nu,theta))(x,y)vertical bar <= exp( -tL(-deg,0))(x,y),
which controls the unitary group uniformly in the potentials in terms of a Schrodinger semigroup, where the potential deg is the weighted degree function of the graph.
