Speaker: Ivana Alexandrova, University of Toronto Date, time place: 4pm, 6 March 2006, POT 945 Title: The Scattering Amplitude at a Maximum Point of the Potential Abstract: We consider the scattering amplitude for a short range potential perturbation of the semi-classical Laplacian. We prove an asymptotic expansion of the scattering amplitude at an energy which is a non-degenerate maximum of the potential. Alexandrova's visit is sponsored, in part, by the College Enrichment Fund of the College of Arts Sciences of the University of Kentucky.
