Summary: We give a proof of the asymptotic completeness for the wave operators associated to the pair (h(D), h(D) + V_S + V_L) = (H_0, H), where h is a simply characteristic symbol, V_S a short-range perturbation and V_L a long-range potential. The proof is done by using a propagation estimate proved in [2] by means of Mourre’s theory, a characterisation of the orthogonal complement of the ranges of the wave operators in the space of scattering states of H given in [10] and some technical results.

Keywords: Simply characteristic operator, propagation estimate, wave operators, asymptotic completeness, bound state.
