Schrödinger operators with complex-valued potentials and no resonances

In dimension $d\geq 3$, we give examples of nontrivial, compactly supported, complex-valued potentials such that the associated Schrödinger operators have no resonances. If $d=2$, we show that there are potentials with no resonances away from the origin. These Schrödinger operators are isophasal and have the same scattering phase as the Laplacian on $\Real^d$. In odd dimensions $d\geq 3$ we study the fundamental solution of the wave equation perturbed by such a potential. If the space variables are held fixed, it is super-exponentially decaying in time.

Several complex variables and the distribution of resonances in potential scattering

We study resonances associated to Schrödinger operators with compactly supported potentials on ${\mathbb R}^d$, $d\geq3$, odd. We consider compactly supported potentials depending holomorphically on a complex parameter $z$. For certain such families, for all $z$ except those in a pluripolar set, the associated resonance-counting function has order of growth $d$. Our proofs use some results from several complex variables.

Resonances for steplike potentials: forward and inverse results

We consider resonances associated to the operator $-\frac{d^2}{dx^2}+V(x)$, where $V(x)=V_+$ if $x>x_M$ and $V(x)=V_-$ if $x<-x_M$, with $V_+\not = V_-$. We obtain asymptotics of the resonance-counting function in several regions. Moreover, we show that in several situations, the resonances, $V_+$, and $V_-$ determine $V$ uniquely up to translation.
