Abstract: In this paper we consider scattering theory on manifolds with special cusp-like metric singularities of warped product type g=dx^2 + x^(-2a)h, where a>0. These metrics form a natural subset in the class of metrics with warped product singularities and they can be thought of as interpolating between hyperbolic and cylindrical metrics. We prove that the resolvent of the Laplace operator acting on p-forms on such a manifold extends to a meromorphic function defined on the logarithmic cover of the complex plane with values in the bounded operators between weighted L^2-spaces. This allows for a construction of generalized eigenforms for the Laplace operator as well as for a meromorphic continuation of the scattering matrix. We give a precise description of the asymptotic expansion of generalized eigenforms on the cusp and find that the scattering matrix satisfies a functional equation.

Review text

Let \((M,g)\) be a Riemannian manifold with spectral cusp like singularities of the form \(g=dx^2+x^{-2a}h\) for some positive constant \(a\). Such metrics in a sense interpolate between cylindrical and hyperbolic metrics. The authors consider the spectrum of the \(p\)-form valued Laplacian and show that the resolvant of this operator extends to a meromorphic function on the logarithmic cover of \(\mathbb{C}\) taking values in the bounded operators between weighted \(L^2\) spaces. The authors construct generalized eigenforms as well as the meromorphic continuation of the scattering matrix. They discuss the asymptotic expansion of these generalized eigenforms at the cusp and show that the scattering matrix satisfies a functional equation. \S1 of the paper is an elegant introduction to the subject at hand, \S2 discusses the geometry and spectral theory of the generalized cusp, \S3 extends this to discuss the spectral theory on manifolds with generalized cusps, \S4 presents additional properties of the stationary scattering matrix, \S5 discusses possible future extensions, and \S6 is an appendix discussing the Weber transform.
