Abstract: We consider semiclassical Schroedinger operators on R^n, with C^infty potentials decaying polynomially at infinity. The usual theories of resonances do not apply in such a non-analytic framework. Here, under some additional conditions, we show that resonances are invariantly defined up to any power of their imaginary part. The theory is based on resolvent estimates for families of approximating distorted operators with potentials that are holomorphic in narrow complex sectors around R^n.

Review text

The authors develop a resonance theory for Schröginger operators with a nonanalytic potential. They apply it to the nontrapping case (where no resonance appear in some energy region) and to the case of a ``point-well in an island (with shape resonances). Replacing the original potential by some suitable analytic approximations, the authors considers the usual resonances obtained by analytic distorsion. Roughly speaking, these resonances concentrate on some discrete set (which will be the set of resonance of the original operator) as the approximation becomes better and better. The author show that this set is independent of the choice of the analytic approximations (improving this way a previous result in [\textit{C. Cancelier, A. Martinez} and \textit{T. Ramond}, Asymptotic Anal. 44, No. 1-2, 47--74 (2005; Zbl 1095.35015)]. The theory is based on resolvent estimates which are uniform in some approximation parameter and are derived via precise arguments from a Grushin problem. We refer to the very clear Introduction for more details.
