We prove that the presence of isolated eigenvalues in the spectrum of the decoupled model leads to the existence of quasi-particles in the perturbed model. Also, a scattering theory for asymptotically free many-particle states is developed.17 pagesMathematical PhysicsQuasi-particles in weak perturbations of non-interacting quantum lattice systemstext
