Fractal Weyl law for open quantum chaotic maps

Abstract

We study a semiclassical quantization of Poincaré maps arising in scattering problems with fractal hyperbolic trapped sets. The main application is the proof of a fractal Weyl upper bound for the number of resonances/scattering poles in small domains near the real axis. This result includes the case of several convex (hard) obstacles satisfying a no-eclipse condition.
