Uniform resolvent estimates and absence of eigenvalues for Lamé operators with potentials

We consider the $0$-order perturbed Lamé operator $-Δ^\ast + V(x)$. It is well known that if one considers the free case, namely $V=0,$ the spectrum of $-Δ^\ast$ is purely continuous and coincides with the non-negative semi-axis. The first purpose of the paper is to show that, at least in part, this spectral property is preserved in the perturbed setting. Precisely, developing a suitable multipliers technique, we will prove the absence of point spectrum for Lamé operator with potentials which satisfy a variational inequality with suitable small constant. We stress that our result also covers complex-valued perturbation terms. Moreover the techniques used to prove the absence of eigenvalues enable us to provide uniform resolvent estimates for the perturbed operator under the same assumptions about $V$.
