Abstract. We study the microlocal structure of the resolvent of the semi-
classical Schr¨odinger operator with short range potential at an energy which
is a unique non-degenerate global maximum of the potential. We prove that
it is a semiclassical Fourier integral operator quantizing the incoming and
outgoing Lagrangian submanifolds associated to the fixed hyperbolic point.
We then discuss two applications of this result to describing the structure of
the spectral function and the scattering matrix of the Schr¨odinger operator
at the critical energy.
1. Introduction. We consider the semiclassical Schr¨odinger operator
