We consider the 3D Schrödinger operator $H=H_0+V$ where $H_0={(-i\nabla -A)}^2-b$, $A$ is a magnetic potential generating a constant magneticfield of strength $b\>0$, and $V$ is a short-range electric potential which decays superexponentially with respect to the variable along the magnetic field. We show that the resolvent of $H$ admits a meromorphic extension from the upper half plane to an appropriate Riemann surface $ℳ$, and define the resonances of $H$ as the poles of this meromorphic extension. We study their distribution near...

In this paper, we consider the following initial-boundary value problem $$\left\}\begin{array}{c}{u}_{tt}(x,t)=\epsilon Lu(x,t)+f\left(u(x,t)\right)\text{in}\Omega \times (0,T),\hfill \\ u(x,t)=0\text{on}\partial \Omega \times (0,T),\hfill \\ u(x,0)=0\text{in}\Omega ,\hfill \\ u_t(x,0)=0\text{in}\Omega ,\hfill \end{array}\right.$$ where $\Omega$ is a bounded domain in ${ℝ}^N$ with smooth boundary $\partial \Omega$, $L$ is an elliptic operator, $\epsilon$ is a positive parameter, $f\left(s\right)$ is a positive, increasing, convex function for $s\in (-\infty ,b)$, ${lim}_{s\to b}f\left(s\right)=\infty$ and ${\int }_0^b\frac{ds}{f\left(s\right)}<\infty$ with $b=const>0$. Under some assumptions, we show that the solution of the above problem quenches in a finite time and its quenching time goes to that of the solution of the following differential equation $$\left\}\begin{array}{cc}{\alpha }^{\text{'}\text{'}}\left(t\right)=f\left(\alpha \left(t\right)\right),\hfill & t>0,\hfill \\ \alpha \left(0\right)=0,{\alpha }^{\text{'}}\left(0\right)=0,\hfill \end{array}\right.$$ as $\epsilon$ goes to zero. We also show that the above...

This work is concerned with the proof of $L_p-L_q$ decay estimates for solutions of the Cauchy problem for the Klein-Gordon type equation $u_{tt}-{\lambda }^2\left(t\right)b^2\left(t\right)(\Delta u-m^{2}u)=0$. The coefficient consists of an increasing smooth function $\lambda$ and an oscillating smooth and bounded function b which are uniformly separated from zero. Moreover, $m^2$ is a positive constant. We study under which assumptions for λ and b one can expect as an essential part of the decay rate the classical Klein-Gordon decay rate n/2(1/p-1/q).

Motivated by the study of resolvent estimates in the presence of trapping, we prove a semiclassical propagation theorem in a neighborhood of a compact invariant subset of the bicharacteristic flow which is isolated in a suitable sense. Examples include a global trapped set and a single isolated periodic trajectory. This is applied to obtain microlocal resolvent estimates with no loss compared to the nontrapping setting.
