Uniform spectral asymptotics for semiclassical wells on phase space loops

Strong Phase-Space Semiclassical Asymptotics

Wigner and Husimi transforms have long been used for the phasespace reformulation of Schrödinger-type equations, and the study of the corresponding semiclassical limits. Most of the existing results provide approximations in appropriate weak topologies. In this work we are concerned with semiclassical limits in the strong topology, i.e. approximation of Wigner functions by solutions of the Liou...

Semiclassical Spectral Asymptotics for a Two–Dimensional Magnetic Schrödinger Operator: The Case of Discrete Wells

Spectral asymptotics via the semiclassical Birkhoff normal form

This article gives a simple treatment of the quantum Birkhoff normal form for semiclassical pseudo-differential operators with smooth coefficients. The normal form is applied to describe the discrete spectrum in a generalised non-degenerate potential well, yielding uniform estimates in the energy E. This permits a detailed study of the spectrum in various asymptotic regions of the parameters (E...

Semiclassical Asymptotics on Manifolds with Boundary

We discuss semiclassical asymptotics for the eigenvalues of the Witten Laplacian for compact manifolds with boundary in the presence of a general Riemannian metric. To this end, we modify and use the variational method suggested by Kordyukov, Mathai and Shubin (2005), with a more extended use of quadratic forms instead of the operators. We also utilize some important ideas and technical element...

Semiclassical Asymptotics and Gaps in the Spectra of Periodic Schrödinger Operators with Magnetic Wells

We show that, under some very weak assumption of effective variation for the magnetic field, a periodic Schrödinger operator with magnetic wells on a noncompact Riemannian manifold M such that H(M, R) = 0 equipped with a properly disconnected, cocompact action of a finitely generated, discrete group of isometries has an arbitrarily large number of spectral gaps in the semi-classical limit.
