Abstract: This paper proves sharp lower bounds on a resonance counting function for obstacle scattering in even-dimensional Euclidean space without a need for trapping assumptions. Similar lower bounds are proved for some other compactly supported perturbations of the Laplacian on even-dimensional Euclidean space, for example, for the Laplacian for certain metric perturbations. The proof uses a Poisson formula for resonances, complementary to one proved by Zworski in even dimensions.<br />Comment: 21 pages
