Resonance widths in a case of multidimensional phase space tunneling
Abstract
We consider a semiclassical matrix Schr\"odinger operator of the form , where and are two small positive constants, is real-analytic and admits a non degenerate minimum at 0, and is a symmetric off-diagonal matrix of first-order differential operators with analytic coefficients. Then, denoting by the first eigenvalue of , and under some ellipticity condition on , we show that, for any sufficiently small, and for with some , the unique resonance of such that (as ) satisfies, where is a symbol with , and is the imaginary part of the complex action along some convenient closed path containing and consisting of a union of complex nul-bicharacteristics of and (broken instanton). This broken instanton is described in terms of the outgoing and incoming complex Lagrangian manifolds associated with at the point , and their intersections with the characteristic set of .
