Abstract

We prove upper bounds on the number of resonances and eigenvalues of Schr\"odinger operators Δ+V-\Delta+V with complex-valued potentials, where d3d\geq 3 is odd. The novel feature of our upper bounds is that they are \emph{effective}, in the sense that they only depend on an exponentially weighted norm of V. Our main focus is on potentials in the Lorentz space L(d+1)/2,1/2L^{(d+1)/2,1/2}, but we also obtain new results for compactly supported or pointwise decaying potentials. The main technical innovation, possibly of independent interest, are singular value estimates for Fourier-extension type operators. The obtained upper bounds not only recover several known results in a unified way, they also provide new bounds for potentials which are not amenable to previous methods.
