Resonance widths for the molecular predissociation

Abstract: We consider a semiclassical

2 i m e s 2

matrix Schr"odinger operator of the form

, where

V_{1}, V_{2}

are real-analytic,

V_{2}

admits a non degenerate minimum at 0,

V_{1}

is non trapping at energy

V_{2} (0) = 0

, and

R (x, h D_{x}) = (r_{j, k} (x, h D_{x}))_{1 l e q j, k l e q 2}

is a symmetric off-diagonal

2 i m e s 2

matrix of first-order pseudodifferential operators with analytic symbols. We also assume that

V_{1} (0) > 0

. Then, denoting by

e_{1}

the first eigenvalue of

, and under some ellipticity condition on

r_{1, 2}

and additional generic geometric assumptions, we show that the unique resonance

h o_{1}

of

P

such that

h o_{1} = V_{2} (0) + (e_{1} + r_{2, 2} (0, 0)) h + m a t h c a l O (h^{2})

(as

h i g h t a r r o w 0_{+}

) satisfies,

Im ho_1 = -h^{n_0+(1-n_Gamma)/2}f(h,lnfrac1{h})e^{-2S/h},

where

f (h, l n f r a c 1 h) s i m s u m_{0 l e q m l e q e l l} f_{e l l, m} h^{e} l l (l n f r a c 1 h)^{m}

is a symbol with

f_{0, 0} > 0

,

S > 0

is the so-called Agmon distance associated with the degenerate metric

m a x (0, m i n (V_{1}, V_{2})) d x^{2}

, between 0 and

V_{1} l e q 0

, and

n_{0} g e q 1

,

n_{G a m m a} g e q 0

are integers that depend on the geometry.
