On the imaginary part of coupling resonance points
Abstract. We prove for rank one perturbations that the imaginary part of a coupling resonance point is inversely proportional by a factor of \(-2\) to the rate of change of the scattering phase, as a function of the coupling variable, evaluated at the real part of the resonance point. This equality is analogous to the Breit-Wigner formula from quantum scattering theory. For more general relatively trace class perturbations, we also give a formula for the spectral shift function in terms of coupling resonance points, non-real and real.
Keywords: scattering matrix, scattering phase, resonance point, Breit-Wigner formula.
