Abstract

We consider scattering theory of the Laplace Beltrami operator on differential forms on a Riemannian manifold that is Euclidean near infinity. Allowing for compact boundaries of low regularity we prove a Birman-Krein formula on the space of co-closed differential forms. In the case of dimension three this reduces to a Birman-Krein formula in Maxwell scattering.
