Scattering theory for quantum dynamical semigroups. — II
We study the spectral projection associated to a barrier-top resonance for the semiclassical Schrödinger operator. First, we prove a resolvent estimate for complex energies close to such a resonance. Using that estimate and an explicit representation of the resonant states, we show that the spectral projection has a semiclassical expansion in integer powers of , and compute its leading term. We use this result to compute the residue of the scattering amplitude at such a resonance. Eventually, we...
