Popis: A study is made of the resolventR(λ) for a system ofn particles with spin-orbit coupling, an interaction which necessarily has a long range in momentum space. For short-range interactions, it has been known for several years thatR(λ) satisfies a Fredholm equation whose kernel is in the Schmidt-class. The corresponding spin-orbit kernel is not in the Schmidt-class, but it is shown that it does belong to a certain class of compact operators which is larger than the Schmidt-class. A modified Fredholm theory is presented which applies to all operators in this larger class. This enablesR(λ) to be found for all values of λ in the complex plane cut along the continuous spectrum of the Hamiltonian. It is shown that the modified Fredholm theory also holds for the Coulomb interaction.
