Dear Matti,

My question in the following is that:

You stated the scattering space \HH_s is the same as the free space P\HH. This
means

\HH_s = P\HH,

hence

any free state u=|n_0> in P\HH=\HH_s satisfies

u = Pu.

Thus

1/(1+X) |n_0> = 1/(1+X) P|n_0> = |n_0>.

The last equality here follows from

1/(1+X) = 1-\sum_{n=1}^\infty (-X)^n

and

X P = 0

by

X = X= 1/(L_0 +ie*epsilon))*L_0(int)

and L_0(int) P|n_0> = 0.

Best wishes,
Hitoshi
