Review text

The author studies the number of resonances associated to Schrödinger operators with bounded potentials of compact support on \({\mathbb R}^d\) with \(d\geq 3\) odd. The potentials depend holomorphically on a parameter in a domain \(\Omega\), \(z\in \Omega \subset {\mathbb C}^m\), and the growth rate is shown to hold for all \(z\in \Omega\setminus E\) where \(E\) is a pluripolar set. The proof is based on methods from the theory of several complex variables. Let \(V(z,x)=\sum_{j=1}^{n} f_{j}(z)V_{j}(x)\) with \(f_{j}\) holomorphic on \(\Omega\) and \(V_{j}\in L_{\text{comp}}^{\infty}({\mathbb R}^d,{\mathbb C})\). Define the resonance counting function \(N_{V(z)}(r):=\#\{z_{j}\in {\mathcal R}_{V}\mid | z_{j}| <r\}\) where \({\mathcal R}_{V}\) is the set of poles of \((\Delta + V - \lambda^2)^{-1}\). Given that \[ \limsup_{r\to\infty}{\log N_{V(z)}(r)\over \log r} = d \tag{1} \] holds for some \(z_{0}\in \Omega\) it holds for all \(z\in \Omega \setminus E\), \(E\) pluripolar. This result can be viewed as a probabilistic lower bound of the resonance counting function. In an application it is shown for the special case \(V(z,x)= zV(x)\), where \(V\in L_{\text{comp}}^{\infty}({\mathbb R}^d,{\mathbb R})\) is bounded from below by the characteristic function of a ball the maximal growth rate (1) is attained for all \(z\in {\mathbb C}\setminus E\), \(E\) pluripolar. A corollary of these results provides that the sets of \(V\in L_{\text{comp}}^{\infty}({\mathbb R}^d,{\mathbb R})\) and of \(V\in L_{\text{comp}}^{\infty}({\mathbb R}^d, {\mathbb C})\) satisfying (1) are respectively dense in \(L_{\text{comp}}^{\infty}({\mathbb R}^d,{\mathbb R})\) and in \(L_{\text{comp}}^{\infty}({\mathbb R}^d, {\mathbb C})\) under the \(L^{\infty}\) norm. Furthermore, the results hold true if one replaces \(L_{\text{comp}}^{\infty}\) by \(C_{c}^{\infty}\) and the \(L^{\infty}\) norm by the \(C^{\infty}\) topology.
