Semi-classical trace formula, isochronous case. Application to conservative systems

Abstract

Under conditions of clean flow we compute the leading term in the STF when the set of periods of the energy surface is discrete. Comparing to the case of non-degenerate periodic orbits, we obtain a supplementary term which is given in terms of the linearized flow. As particular cases, we give a STF for quadratic Hamiltonians and we obtain the Berry-Tabor formula for integrable systems. For conservative systems (i.e. systems with several first integrals), we give practical conditions to get a clean flow and interpret the leading term of the STF for a compact symmetry. We give several examples to illustrate our computation.Comment: 24 page
