Abstract
We consider the Bloch–Torrey operator in , where . After normalization, this operator takes the form , where and represents a magnetic vector field. For we give natural conditions under which this operator can be defined as a maximally accretive operator, characterize its domain and obtain its spectral properties in some special cases where we manage to show that the essential spectrum is . This result lies in contrast with the case considered in previous works.
In the asymptotic limit and for , assuming that is an affine function, we give accurate estimates for the location of the discrete spectrum in the cases or when is a finite interval. Resolvent estimates are established as well.
