Several complex variables and the distribution of resonances in potential scattering

We study resonances associated to Schr\"odinger operators with compactly supported potentials on ${\mathbb R}^d$, $d\geq3$, odd. We consider compactly supported potentials depending holomorphically on a complex parameter $z$. For certain such families, for all $z$ except those in a pluripolar set, the associated resonance-counting function has order of growth $d$. Our proofs use some results from several complex variables.
