We consider the problem of finding the resonances of the Laplacian on truncated
Riemannian cones. In a similar fashion to Cheeger and Taylor, we construct the resolvent
and scattering matrix for the Laplacian on cones and truncated cones. Following Stefanov,
we show that the resonances on the truncated cone are distributed asymptotically as
,
where
is an explicit coefficient. We also conclude that the Laplacian on a nontruncated cone
has no resonances.
