We analyze asymptotic properties of its Green function with spectral parameters in the unphysical sheet. As an application, we discuss the lower bound on resonance widths for scattering by two magnetic fields with compact supports at large separation. The bound is evaluated in terms of backward scattering amplitudes by a single magnetic field. A special emphasis is placed on analyzing how a trajectory oscillating between two magnetic fields gives rise to resonances near the real axis, as the distance between two supports goes to infinity. We also refer to the relation to the semiclassical resonance theory for scattering by two solenoidal fields. en-copyright= kn-copyright= en-aut-name=TamuraHideo en-aut-sei=Tamura en-aut-mei=Hideo kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=1 ORCID= affil-num=1 en-affil= kn-affil=Department of Mathematics, Okayama University en-keyword=Aharonov-Bohm Hamiltonian kn-keyword=Aharonov-Bohm Hamiltonian en-keyword=Green function kn-keyword=Green function en-keyword=magnetic Schr?dinger operator kn-keyword=magnetic Schr?dinger operator en-keyword=scattering amplitude kn-keyword=scattering amplitude en-keyword=resonance width kn-keyword=resonance width END
