Difference equations in the complex plane: quasiclassical asymptotics and Berry phase

Mathematical Physics 2019-10-29 v2 math.MP

Abstract

We study solutions to the difference equation Ψ(z+h)=M(z)Ψ(z)\Psi(z+h)=M(z)\Psi(z) where zz is a complex variable, h>0h>0 is a parameter, and M:CSL(2,C)M:\mathbb{C}\mapsto SL(2,\mathbb{C}) is a given analytic function. We describe the asymptotics of its analytic solutions as h0h\to 0. The asymptotic formulas contain an analog of the geometric (Berry) phase well-known in the quasiclassical analysis of differential equations.
