Abstract: A large time expansion for the propagator associated to a semiclassical non-selfadjoint magnetic Schr"odinger operator is established, in terms of the low lying eigenvalues of the operator.


The authors prove an expansion for the evolution semigroup for a class of non-selfadjoint magnetic Schrödinger operators in the large time limit. Precisely, for \[p(x,\xi)=(\xi-A(x))^2 +V(x), \qquad V=V_1+i V_2,\] under suitable growth restrictions on \(A(x)\) and bounds for \(V_1\) and \(V_2\), one can consider the contraction semigroup \(e^{-tP/h}\) where \(P\) is the semiclassical Weyl quantization of \(p\). Then, the authors show that in the \(L^2\) sense, uniformly as \(t\to0\) and \(h\to 0^+\), that \[e^{-tP/h} = \sum_{\mu_{j,k}\in \Lambda} e^{-t \lambda_{jk}/h} \Pi_{jk} + \mathcal{O}(e^{-ta})\] where \(\Lambda = \left\{ \mu_{jk}: \Re(\mu_{jk}) < a\right\}\) and the \(\lambda_{jk}\) are eigenvalues of \(P\) associated to \(\mu_{jk}\). Finally, \(\Pi_{jk}\) is the corresponding rank one spectral projection. The authors end by determining the spectrum of a non-selfadjoint operator of the form \[Q = (D_x-Ax)^2 + \dfrac{1}{2}Vx \cdot x.\]
