Abstract: We discuss the eigenvalues $E_j$ of Schrödinger operators $-\Delta +V$ in $L^2(\mathbb {R}^d)$ with complex potentials $V\in L^p$, $p<\infty$. We show that (A) $\operatorname {Re} E_j\to \infty$ implies $\operatorname {Im} E_j\to 0$, and (B) $\operatorname {Re} E_j\to E\in [0,\infty )$ implies $(\operatorname {Im} E_j)\in \ell ^q$ for some $q$ depending on $p$. We prove quantitative versions of (A) and (B) in terms of the $L^p$-norm of $V$.
