Resonances over a potential well in an island (Q824959)

The authors study the semiclassical Schrödinger operator \(-h^2\Delta+V\) where \(V\) is a smooth potential in \(\mathbb R^n\), \(n\geq 2\). Under suitable assumptions they estimate the number of resonances of the above operator. To prove the result they implement microlocal analysis, asymptotics and use suitable escape functions with the corresponding spaces of distributions with exponential phase space weights and the global framework as developed in [\textit{B. Helffer} and \textit{J. Sjöstrand}, Mém. Soc. Math. Fr., Nouv. Sér. 24/25, 228 p. (1986; Zbl 0631.35075)].
