Asymptotics of resonances for a Schrödinger operator with vector values (Q880100): Difference between revisions

The paper is concerned with the model problem of a 1-dimensional Schrödinger type \((n\times n)\)-operator-system of the form \(-\Delta+V\), where \(\Delta\) denotes just a selfadjoint realization of the second derivative applied component-wise to \(\mathbb{R}^{n}\)-valued (generalized) functions, \(n\in\mathbb{N}_{>0}\), as an operator in \(L^{2}(\mathbb{R},\mathbb{R}^{n})\) and \(V\) denotes a compactly supported multiplication operator of real matrix-valued type \(V\in L^{\infty}(\mathbb{R},\mathbb{R}^{n\times n})\). The main result on the asymptotic distribution of resonances is that earlier results for the scalar case extend to this matrix case. It is shown that the number \(n(r)\) of resonances contained in a ball \(B(0,r)\subset\mathbb{C}\) of radius \(r\in\mathbb{R}_{>0}\) around zero, behaves asymptotically such that \(\frac{n(r)}{r}\to C(V)\) as \(r\to\infty\). Here \(C(V)\) can in some cases be given explicitly in terms of bounds of the support of the matrix entries. The resonances are asymptotically concentrated near the spectrum in the sense that the number \(n_{-}(\varepsilon,r)\) of resonances in \(B(0,r)\), which are \(not\) in the sector \(S_{\varepsilon}:=[\mathbb{R}_{>0}] \exp(i[\;]-\varepsilon,\varepsilon[\;])\) around the spectrum \(\mathbb{R}_{\geq0}\) (vertex \(0\), angle \(2\varepsilon\)), \(\varepsilon\in\mathbb{R}_{>0}\) arbitrary, satisfies \(\frac{n_{-}(\varepsilon,r)}{r}\to0\) as \(r\to\infty,\) so that for the number \(n_{+}(\varepsilon,r) :=n(r)-n_{-}(\varepsilon,r)\) of resonances in the sector \(S_{\varepsilon}\) is asymptotically close to \(C(V) r\) as \(r\) tends to \(\infty\).
