On the location of resonances for Schrödinger operators in the semiclassical limit. I: Resonances free domains (Q1093878)

One shows that in the semi-classical regime and under suitable non- trapping conditions on the potential V at energy E of Virial relation type: \(2(V-E)+x\nabla V<0\) the Schrödinger operator \(H-\hslash^ 2\Delta +V\) has no resonances in some complex neighbourhood of E. Some critical values of E like thresholds or barrier tops are also discussed.
