Abstract: We consider the resolvent on asymptotically Euclidean warped product manifolds in an appropriate 0-Gevrey class, with trapped sets consisting of only finitely many components. We prove that the high-frequency resolvent is either bounded by Cepsilon|lambda|epsilon for any epsilon>0, or blows up faster than any polynomial (at least along a subsequence). A stronger result holds if the manifold is analytic. The method of proof is to exploit the warped product structure to separate variables, obtaining a one-dimensional semiclassical Schr"odinger operator. We then classify the microlocal resolvent behaviour associated to every possible type of critical value of the potential, and translate this into the associated resolvent estimates. Weakly stable trapping admits highly concentrated quasimodes and fast growth of the resolvent. Conversely, using a delicate inhomogeneous blowup procedure loosely based on the classical positive commutator argument, we show that any weakly unstable trapping forces at least some spreading of quasimodes. As a first application, we conclude that either there is a resonance free region of size |Imlambda|leqCepsilon|Relambda|1epsilon for any epsilon>0, or there is a sequence of resonances converging to the real axis faster than any polynomial. Again, a stronger result holds if the manifold is analytic. As a second application, we prove a spreading result for weak quasimodes in partially rectangular billiards.
