Resonances for a diffusion with small noise

Abstract

We study resonances for the generator of a diffusion with small noise in RdR^d :Lϵ=ϵΔ+F L_\epsilon = -\epsilon\Delta + \nabla F \cdot \nabla, when the potential F grows slowly at infinity (typically as a square root of the norm). The case when F grows fast is well known, and under suitable conditions one can show that there exists a family of exponentially small eigenvalues, related to the wells of F . We show that, for an F with a slow growth, the spectrum is R+, but we can find a family of resonances whose real parts behave as the eigenvalues of the "quick growth" case, and whose imaginary parts are small.
