Abstract
AbstractMotivated by the work of Colin de Verdière and Saint‐Raymond on spectral theory for zeroth‐order pseudodifferential operators on tori, we consider viscosity limits in which zeroth‐order operators, P, are replaced by P + iν Δ, ν > 0. By adapting the Helffer–Sjöstrand theory of scattering resonances, we show that, in a complex neighbourhood of the continuous spectrum, eigenvalues of P + iν Δ have limits as the viscosity ν goes to 0. In the simplified setting of tori, this justifies claims made in the physics literature. © 2021 The Authors. Communications on Pure and Applied Mathematics published by Wiley Periodicals LLC.
