Jung Gauge Transformations and Inverse Quantum Scattering with Medium-Range Magnetic Fields ABSTRACT: The time-dependent, geometric method for high-energy limits and inverse scattering is applied to nonrelativistic quantum particles in external electromagnetic fields. Both the Schroedinger and the Pauli equations in R^2 and R^3 are considered. The electrostatic potential A_0 shall be short-range, and the magnetic field B shall decay faster than |x|^{-3/2}. A natural class of corresponding vector potentials A of medium range is introduced, and the decay and regularity properties of various gauges are discussed, including the transversal gauge, the Coulomb gauge, and the Griesinger vector potentials. By a suitable combination of these gauges, B need not be differentiable. The scattering operator S is not invariant under the corresponding gauge transformations, but experiences an explicit transformation. Both B and A_0 are reconstructed from an X-ray transform, which is obtained from the high-energy limit of S. Here previous results by Arians and Nicoleau are generalized to the medium-range situation. In a sequel paper, medium-range vector potentials are applied to relativistic scattering. http://www.maia.ub.es/mpej/Vol/11/5.ps http://www.maia.ub.es/mpej/Vol/11/5.pdf http://www.ma.utexas.edu/mpej/Vol/11/5.ps http://www.ma.utexas.edu/mpej/Vol/11/5.pdf http://mpej.unige.ch/mpej/Vol/11/5.ps http://mpej.unige.ch/mpej/Vol/11/5.pdf
