Inverse Spectral Problem for Schr\"odinger Operators

In this article we improve some of the inverse spectral results proved by Guillemin and Uribe in \cite{GU}. They proved that under some symmetry assumptions on the potential $V(x)$, the Taylor expansion of $V(x)$ near a non-degenerate global minimum can be recovered from the knowledge of the low-lying eigenvalues of the associated Schr"odinger operator in $\mathbb R^n$. We prove some similar inverse spectral results using fewer symmetry assumptions. We also show that in dimension 1, no symmetry assumption is needed to recover the Taylor coefficients of $V(x)$. We establish our results by finding some explicit formulas for wave invariants at the bottom of the well.
