Abstract

We are interested in decay estimates of the ground state (or the low energy eigenstates), outside the potential wells, for a semi-classical Magnetic Schr\"odinger operator with smooth coefficients PA(x,hDx)=(hDxμA(x))2+V(x)P_A(x,hD_x)=(hD_x-\mu A(x))^2+V(x) on L2(Rd)L^2({\bf R}^d). We shall essentially consider the case where μ\mu is large. This kind of estimates, in case of Schr\"odinger operator without a magnetic field, have been studied by Agmon, also in the case of a Riemannian manifold MM. Agmon estimates hold true for any hh, but are particularly useful in the limit h0h\to0 when studying tunneling.
