Abstract

Let $s_{0} < 0$ be the abscissa of absolute convergence of the dynamical zeta function $Z (s)$ for several disjoint strictly convex compact obstacles $K_{i} \subset ℝ^{N}$ , $i = 1, \dots, κ_{0}$ , $κ_{0} \geq 3$ , and let

R_{χ} (z) = χ {(- ‘ Δ_{D} - z^{2})}^{- 1} χ, χ \in C_{0}^{\infty} (ℝ^{N}),

be the cutoff resolvent of the Dirichlet Laplacian $- ‘ Δ_{D}$ in the closure of $ℝ^{N} ∖ ⋃_{i = 1}^{κ_{0}} K_{i}$ . We prove that there exists $σ_{1} < s_{0}$ such that the cutoff resolvent $R_{χ} (z)$ has an analytic continuation for

Im z < - σ_{1}, | Re z | \geq J_{1} > 0 .
