Relativistic resonances and decaying states are described by representations of Poincar\'e transformations, similar to Wigner's definition of stable particles. To associate decaying state vectors to resonance poles of the $S$-matrix, the…
We prove an abstract criterion stating resolvent convergence in the case of operators acting in different Hilbert spaces. This result is then applied to the case of Laplacians on a family $X_\eps$ of branched quantum waveguides. Combining…
Arbitrarily long lived modes, called quasi-resonances, are known to exist in the spectrum of massive fields for a number of black-hole backgrounds at some discrete values of mass of the field. Here we show that these modes also exist in the…
We first present a quasinormal mode (QNM) theory for coupled loss-gain resonators working near an exceptional point. Assuming linear media, which can be fully quantified using the complex pole properties of the QNMs, we show how the QNMs…
We prove explicit asymptotics for the location of semiclassical scattering resonances in the setting of $h$-dependent delta-function potentials on $\mathbb{R}$. In the cases of two or three delta poles, we are able to show that resonances…
We prove a new polynomial lower bound on the scattering resolvent. For that, we construct a quasimode localized on a trajectory $\gamma$ which is trapped in the past, but not in the future. The power in the bound is expressed in terms of…
For certain compactly supported metric and/or potential perturbations of the Laplacian on $\mathbb{H}^{n+1}$, we establish an upper bound on the resonance counting function with an explicit constant that depends only on the dimension, the…
Open phononic systems including resonators radiating inside an unbounded medium support localized phonons characterized by a complex frequency. In this context, the concept of elastic quasinormal mode (QNM) arises naturally, as in the cases…
Resonant modes determine the response of electromagnetic devices, including dielectric and plasmonic resonators. Relying on the degrees of freedom that metamaterials provide, this contribution shows how to design, at will, the resonant…
The present paper is devoted to the study of resonances for one-dimensional quantum systems with a potential that is the restriction to some large box of an ergodic potential. For discrete models both on a half-line and on the whole line,…
We introduce a suitable notion of integral operators (comprising the fractional Laplacian as a particular case) acting on functions with minimal requirements at infinity. For these functions, the classical definition would lead to divergent…
In the study of perturbations around black hole configurations, whether an external source can influence the perturbation behavior is an interesting topic to investigate. When the source acts as an initial pulse, it is intuitively…
We consider a general elliptic operator in an infinite multi-dimensional cylinder with several distant perturbations; this operator is obtained by ``gluing'' several single perturbation operators $\mathcal{H}^{(k)}$, $k=1,\ldots,n$, at…
We study in special limiting cases quasinormal modes of massive scalar fields in the Schwarzschild-de Sitter black hole backgrounds. We determine the lower limit on the mass parameter of the scalar field that allows the waves with…
The pseudospectra (or spectral instability) of non-selfadjoint operators is a topic of current interest in applied mathematics. In fact, for non-selfadjoint operators the resolvent could be very large outside the spectrum, making the…
For semiclassical problems we establish upper bounds on the number of resonances in boxes of size $h$ along the real axis, in terms of the dimension of the set of trapped trajectories. The proof uses second microlocalization.
Extrasolar systems with planets on eccentric orbits close to or in mean-motion resonances are common. The classical low-order resonant Hamiltonian expansion is unfit to describe the long-term evolution of these systems. We extend the…
We study the extreme points of the cone of quasiconvex quadratic forms with linear elastic orthotropic symmetry. We prove that if the determinant of the acoustic matrix of the associated forth order tensor of the quadratic form is an…
We consider the massive scalar field, the Proca field and the Fierz-Pauli field in the Schwarzschild spacetime and we focus more particularly on their long-lived quasinormal modes. We show numerically that the associated excitation factors…
Non-autonomous perturbations of isochronous systems in the plane are considered. It is assumed that the intensity of perturbations decays with time, and the frequency is asymptotically constant with the limiting value satisfying a resonance…
