Scaling asymptotics for quantized Hamiltonian flows

In recent years, the near diagonal asymptotics of the equivariant components of the Szeg\"{o} kernel of a positive line bundle on a compact symplectic manifold have been studied extensively by many authors. As a natural generalization of this theme, here we consider the local scaling asymptotics of the Toeplitz quantization of a Hamiltonian symplectomorphism, and specifically how they concentrate on the graph of the underlying classical map

Local trace formulae and scaling asymptotics in Toeplitz quantization

A trace formula for Toeplitz operators was proved by Boutet de Monvel and Guillemin in the setting of general Toeplitz structures. Here we give a local version of this result for a class of Toeplitz operators related to continuous groups of symmetries on quantizable compact symplectic manifolds. The local trace formula involves certain scaling asymptotics along the clean fixed locus of the Hamiltonian flow of the symbol, reminiscent of the scaling asymptotics of the equivariant components of the Szeg\"o kernel along the diagonal

Note on the paper of Fu and Wong on strictly pseudoconvex domains with K\"ahler--Einstein Bergman metrics

It is shown that the Ramadanov conjecture implies the Cheng conjecture. In particular it follows that the Cheng conjecture holds in dimension two

Legendrian Distributions with Applications to Poincar\'e Series

Let $X$ be a compact Kahler manifold and $L\to X$ a quantizing holomorphic Hermitian line bundle. To immersed Lagrangian submanifolds $\Lambda$ of $X$ satisfying a Bohr-Sommerfeld condition we associate sequences $\{ |\Lambda, k\rangle \}_{k=1}^\infty$, where $\forall k$ $|\Lambda, k\rangle$ is a holomorphic section of $L^{\otimes k}$. The terms in each sequence concentrate on $\Lambda$, and a sequence itself has a symbol which is a half-form, $\sigma$, on $\Lambda$. We prove estimates, as $k\to\infty$, of the norm squares $\langle \Lambda, k|\Lambda, k\rangle$ in terms of $\int_\Lambda \sigma\overline{\sigma}$. More generally, we show that if $\Lambda_1$ and $\Lambda_2$ are two Bohr-Sommerfeld Lagrangian submanifolds intersecting cleanly, the inner products $\langle\Lambda_1, k|\Lambda_2, k\rangle$ have an asymptotic expansion as $k\to\infty$, the leading coefficient being an integral over the intersection $\Lambda_1\cap\Lambda_2$. Our construction is a quantization scheme of Bohr-Sommerfeld Lagrangian submanifolds of $X$. We prove that the Poincar\'e series on hyperbolic surfaces are a particular case, and therefore obtain estimates of their norms and inner products.Comment: 41 pages, LaTe

A Riemann-Hilbert Approach for the Novikov Equation

We develop the inverse scattering transform method for the Novikov equation ut−utxx+4u²ux=3uuxuxx+u²uxxx considered on the line x∈(−∞,∞) in the case of non-zero constant background. The approach is based on the analysis of an associated Riemann-Hilbert (RH) problem, which in this case is a 3×3 matrix problem. The structure of this RH problem shares many common features with the case of the Degasperis-Procesi (DP) equation having quadratic nonlinear terms (see [Boutet de Monvel A., Shepelsky D., Nonlinearity 26 (2013), 2081-2107, arXiv:1107.5995]) and thus the Novikov equation can be viewed as a ''modified DP equation'', in analogy with the relationship between the Korteweg-de Vries (KdV) equation and the modified Korteweg-de Vries (mKdV) equation. We present parametric formulas giving the solution of the Cauchy problem for the Novikov equation in terms of the solution of the RH problem and discuss the possibilities to use the developed formalism for further studying of the Novikov equation

Local trace formulae and scaling asymptotics in Toeplitz quantization, II

In the spectral theory of positive elliptic operators, an important role is played by certain smoothing kernels, related to the Fourier transform of the trace of a wave operator, which may be heuristically interpreted as smoothed spectral projectors asymptotically drifting to the right of the spectrum. In the setting of Toeplitz quantization, we consider analogues of these, where the wave operator is replaced by the Hardy space compression of a linearized Hamiltonian flow, possibly composed with a family of zeroth order Toeplitz operators. We study the local asymptotics of these smoothing kernels, and specifically how they concentrate on the fixed loci of the linearized dynamics.Comment: Typos corrected. Slight expository change

Spectral and scattering theory for some abstract QFT Hamiltonians

We introduce an abstract class of bosonic QFT Hamiltonians and study their spectral and scattering theories. These Hamiltonians are of the form H=\d\G(\omega)+ V acting on the bosonic Fock space \G(\ch), where $\omega$ is a massive one-particle Hamiltonian acting on $\ch$ and $V$ is a Wick polynomial \Wick(w) for a kernel $w$ satisfying some decay properties at infinity. We describe the essential spectrum of $H$, prove a Mourre estimate outside a set of thresholds and prove the existence of asymptotic fields. Our main result is the {\em asymptotic completeness} of the scattering theory, which means that the CCR representations given by the asymptotic fields are of Fock type, with the asymptotic vacua equal to the bound states of $H$. As a consequence $H$ is unitarily equivalent to a collection of second quantized Hamiltonians

Complex zeros of real ergodic eigenfunctions

We determine the limit distribution (as $\lambda \to \infty$) of complex zeros for holomorphic continuations \phi_{\lambda}^{\C} to Grauert tubes of real eigenfunctions of the Laplacian on a real analytic compact Riemannian manifold $(M, g)$ with ergodic geodesic flow. If $\{\phi_{j_k} \}$ is an ergodic sequence of eigenfunctions, we prove the weak limit formula \frac{1}{\lambda_j} [Z_{\phi_{j_k}^{\C}}] \to \frac{i}{\pi} \bar{\partial} {\partial} |\xi|_g, where [Z_{\phi_{j_k}^{\C}}] is the current of integration over the complex zeros and where $\bar{\partial}$ is with respect to the adapted complex structure of Lempert-Sz\"oke and Guillemin-Stenzel.Comment: Added some examples and references. Also added a new Corollary, and corrected some typo

Quantum ergodicity of C* dynamical systems

This paper contains a very simple and general proof that eigenfunctions of quantizations of classically ergodic systems become uniformly distributed in phase space. This ergodicity property of eigenfunctions f is shown to follow from a convexity inequality for the invariant states (Af,f). This proof of ergodicity of eigenfunctions simplifies previous proofs (due to A.I. Shnirelman, Colin de Verdiere and the author) and extends the result to the much more general framework of C* dynamical systems.Comment: Only very minor differences with the published versio
