It is shown, using methods of inverse-spectral theory, that there exis
t Schrodinger operators on the line with fairly general spectral featu
res. Thus, for instance, it follows from the main theorem, that if Sig
ma is any perfect subset of (-infinity,0], then there exist potentials
q(j),j = 1,2 such that the associated Schrodinger operators H-j are s
elf-adjoint and satisfy: sigma(H-j) = Sigma boolean OR, [0, infinity),
sigma(ac)(H-j) [0, infinity), sigma(pp)(H-1) = sigma(sc)(H-2) = Sigma
. The main result also implies the existence of states with interestin
g transport properties.
