Viscosity limits for zeroth-order pseudodifferential operators

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: Motivated by the work of Colin de Verdi`ere and Saint-Raymond on spectral theory 0th order pseudodifferential operators on tori we consider viscosity limits in which 0th order operators P are replaced by P+iuDelta, u>0. By adapting the Helffer--Sj"ostrand theory of scattering resonances we show that in a complex neighbourhood of the continuous spectrum eigenvalues of P+iuDelta have limits as viscosity u goes to 0. In the simplified setting of tori this justifies claims made in the physics literature.
