A Remark on Kac's Scattering Length Formula

A Remark on Kac's Scattering Length Formula


P.J. Fitzsimmons, Ping He, Jiangang Ying




The scattering length formula was formulated and proved in special cases by M. Kac. It was discussed by a series of authors, including M. Taylor, H. Tamura, Y. Takahashi. The formula was proved by M. Takeda in symmetric case and by P. He assuming weak duality. In this article, we shall use the powerful tool of Kutznetsov measures to prove this formula in the general framework of right Markov processes without further assumptions.
