Resonances and resonance expansions for point interactions on the half-space
Diego Noja, Francesco Raso Stoia
TL;DR
This work provides a complete spectral-resonance analysis for a single δ-interaction on the half-space with Dirichlet or Neumann boundary conditions. It explicitly characterizes the infinite resonance set, derives a modified Weyl law for resonance counting, and develops semiclassical resonance asymptotics, all via a transparent Krein-type resolvent description with zeros of Γ_{α,y}^{D/N}(z). The paper then translates these spectral insights into concrete time-domain results by establishing resonance expansions for both the wave and Schrödinger evolutions, including zero-energy threshold phenomena and precise residue-based representations. Collectively, these results illuminate the fine-structure of resonances in domains not equal to ℝ^3 and demonstrate how boundary conditions and singular perturbations shape long-time dynamics.$$
Abstract
In this paper we describe the resonances of the singular perturbation of the Laplacian on the half space $Ω=\mathbb R^3_+$ given by the self-adjoint operator named $δ$-interaction. We will assume Dirichlet or Neumann boundary conditions on $\partial Ω$. At variance with the well known case of $\mathbb R^3$, the resonances constitute an infinite set, here completely characterized. Moreover, we prove that resonances have an asymptotic distribution satisfying a modified Weyl law and we give the semiclassical asymptotics. Finally we give applications of the results to the asymptotic behavior of the abstract wave and Schrödinger dynamics generated by the Laplacian with a point interaction on the half-space
