The resonance counting function N_V (r) counts the number of resonances of the Schr\"odinger operator H_V inside a disk of radius r in the complex. It is known that this function is bounded above as N_V (r) \leq C r^d but not much else. In joint work with T. Christiansen, we prove that the set of such potentials for which the resonance counting function has maximal order of growth d is generic.
