Abstract

Adiabatic evolutions with a gap condition have, under a range of circumstances, exponentially small tails that describe the leaking out of the spectral subspace. In general, adiabatic evolutions without a gap condition do not seem to have this feature. This is a known fact for eigenvalue crossing. We show that this is also the case for eigenvalues at the threshold of the continuous spectrum by considering the Friedrichs model.
