Generic simplicity of resonances in obstacle scattering

Abstract

We show that all resonances in Dirichlet obstacle scattering (in $\mathbb{C}$ in odd dimensions and in the logarithmic cover of $\mathbb{C}\setminus\{0\}$ in even dimensions) are generically simple in the class of obstacles with $C^k$ (and $C^\infty$) boundaries, $k \geq 2$.
