Abstract

We determine all the resonances in certain rectangular regions of the complex plane of the Schrödinger operator −h 2Δ+V whenh→0, under the assumption that the set of trapped points of energy 0 for the classical flow form a closed trajectory and that the corresponding Poincaré map is hyperbolic.
