Bohr-Sommerfeld quantization of periodic orbits.

چکیده
We show, that the canonical invariant part of h̄ corrections to the Gutzwiller trace formula and the Gutzwiller-Voros spectral determinant can be computed by the Bohr-Sommerfeld quantization rules, which usually apply for integrable systems. We argue that the information content of the classical action and stability can be used more effectively than in the usual treatment. We demonstrate the improvement of precision on the example of the three disk scattering system. Typeset using REVTEX 1 Gutzwiller trace formula for chaotic systems is often presented as the counterpart of the Bohr-Sommerfeld (BS) quantization of integrable systems [1]. Consequently, corrections of the trace formula proportional with powers of h̄ are usually associated with quantum corrections [3]. In this letter we would like to show, that a part of h̄ corrections is not connected to deep quantum effects and they can be calculated with some precision from purely semiclassical BS arguments. Then we propose a new trace formula and spectral determinant which is more precise than the usual trace formula although it uses only the linear stability and action as an input data, just like the original trace formula. First we would like to introduce periodic orbits from an unusual point of view. Chaotic and integrable systems on the level of periodic orbits are in fact not as different from each other as we might think. If we start orbits in the neighborhood of a periodic orbit and look at the picture on the Poincaré section we can see a regular pattern. For stable periodic orbits the points form small ellipses around the center and for unstable orbits they form hyperbola. The motion close to a periodic orbits is regular in both cases. This is due to the fact, that we can linearize the Hamiltonian close to a periodic orbit, and linear systems are always integrable. Based on Poincaré’s idea, Arnold and coworkers have shown [4], that the Hamiltonian close to a periodic orbit can be brought to a very practical form. One has to introduce new coordinates: one which is parallel with the orbit (x‖) and others which are orthogonal. In the orthogonal directions we get linear equations. These equations with x‖ dependent rescaling can be transformed into normal coordinates so that we get tiny oscillators, or inverse oscillators, in the new coordinates with constant, frequencies. In the new coordinates, the Hamiltonian is H0(x‖, p‖, xn, pn) = 1 2 p‖ + U(x‖) + d−1

Floer Homology for Negative Line Bundles and Reeb Chords in Pre-quantization Spaces
In this article we prove existence of Reeb orbits for Bohr-Sommerfeld Legendrians in certain pre-quantization spaces. We give a quantitative estimate from below. These estimates are obtained by studying Floer homology for fibre-wise quadratic Hamiltonian functions on negative line bundles.
متن کاملLocally toric manifolds and singular Bohr-Sommerfeld leaves
When geometric quantization is applied to a manifold using a real polarization which is “nice enough”, a result of Śniatycki says that the quantization can be found by counting certain objects, called BohrSommerfeld leaves. Subsequently, several authors have taken this as motivation for counting Bohr-Sommerfeld leaves when studying the quantization of manifolds which are less “nice”. In this pa...
متن کاملBohr-Sommerfeld quantization and meson spectroscopy
We use the Bohr-Sommerfeld quantization approach in the context of constituent quark models. This method provides, for the Cornell potential, analytical formulas for the energy spectra which closely approximate numerical exact calculations performed with the Schrödinger or the spinless Salpeter equations. The Bohr-Sommerfeld quantization procedure can also be used to calculate other observables...
متن کاملThe Gutzwiller Trace Formula for Quantum Systems with Spin
The Gutzwiller trace formula provides a semiclassical approximation for the density of states of a quantum system in terms of classical periodic orbits. In its original form Gutzwiller derived the trace formula for quantum systems without spin. We will discuss the modifications that arise for quantum systems with both translational and spin degrees of freedom and which are either described by P...

The hydrogen molecule contains the basic ingredients to understand the chemical bond, i.e, a pair of electrons. We show a step to understand The Correspondence Principle for chaotic system in the Chemical World. The hydrogen molecule is studied classically as an extension of the helium atom. Several types of orbits were found for two-fixedcenters system (hydrogen molecule) starting from some kn...
