Abstract

We describe the resonances closest to the real axis generated by diffraction of waves among cone points on a manifold with Euclidean ends. These resonances lie asymptotically evenly spaced along a curve of the form λlogλ=ν;\frac{\Im \lambda}{\log \left |\Re \lambda\right |}= -\nu; here ν=(n1)/2L0\nu=(n-1)/2 L_0 where nn is the dimension and L0L_0 is the length of the longest geodesic connecting two cone points. Moreover there are asymptotically no resonances below this curve and above the curve λlogλ=Λ \frac{\Im \lambda}{\log \left |\Re \lambda\right |}= -\Lambda for a fixed Λ>ν.\Lambda>\nu.

Comments

Slight correction to main theorem: finitely many different values of the constants $C_\Re$ and $C_\Im$ may be possible if there is more than one maximal diffracted closed orbit. Final version to appear in Ann. Inst. Fourier
