Asymptotic form of the high energy photoionization cross section of fullerenes.

We show that the theoretical predictions on high energy behavior of the photoionization cross section of fullerenes depend crucially on the form of the function V ( r ) which approximates the fullerene field. The shape of the high energy cross section is obtained without solving the wave equation. The cross section energy dependence is determined by the analytical properties of the function V ( r ) .
