We prove the existence of a meromorphic continuation of the resolvent $(Δ-\ev)^{-1}$ across the continuous spectrum to a Riemann surface multiply covering the plane. The methods are purely analytic and are adapted from quantum $N$-body scattering.41 pages, 4 figuresAnalysis of PDEsDifferential Geometry58J50; 53C35; 35P25; 22E30Analytic continuation of the resolvent of the Laplacian on symmetric spaces of noncompact typetext
