Structure of the Semi-Classical Amplitude for General Scattering Relations

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: We consider scattering by general compactly supported semi-classical perturbations of the Euclidean Laplace-Beltrami operator. We show that if the suitably cut-off resolvent of the Hamiltonian quantizes a Lagrangian relation on the product cotangent bundle, the scattering amplitude quantizes the natural scattering relation. In the case when the resolvent is tempered, which is true under some non-resonance assumptions, and when we work microlocally near a non-trapped ray, our result implies that the scattering amplitude defines a semiclassical Fourier integral operator associated to the scattering relation in a neighborhood of that ray. Compared to previous work we allow this relation to have more general geometric structure.


The author studies the problem of scattering by semi-classical perturbations with compact support of the Euclidean Laplace Beltrami operator. The main result of the paper is a general black box theorem which gives conditions under which the scattering amplitude is a semi-classical Fourier integral operator associated to the classical scattering relation. This is a beautiful paper which is based on the PhD thesis of the author and which is nicely structured and more or less self contained.
