The smallness condition for the perturbation is expressed (intrinsically and coordinate free) in purely geometric terms using the harmonic radius; therefore, the size of the perturbation can be controlled in terms of local bounds on the injectivity radius and the Ricci-curvature. As an application of these ideas we obtain a stability result for the scattering matrix with respect to perturbations of the Riemannian metric. This stability result implies that a scattering channel which interacts with other channels preserves this property under small perturbations.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2013-11-15T13:09:13.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "58J50", "34P25", "37A40", "81U99" ], "keywords": [ "open scattering channels", "riemannian metric", "stability result implies", "time-dependent geometric scattering theory", "channels preserves" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 43, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2012arXiv1202.0333H" } } }
