Abstract

We review a variety of recently obtained trace formulae for (multidimensional) Schrödinger operators and indicate their connections with the KdV hierarchy in one dimension. Our principal new result in this paper concerns a set of trace formulae in 1 ⩽d ⩽ 3 dimensions related to point interactions.
