Explicit Spectral Analysis for Operators Representing the unitary group $\mathbb{U}(d)$ and its Lie algebra $\mathfrak{u}(d)$ through the Metaplectic Representation and Weyl Quantization
Abstract
In this article we compute and analyze the spectrum of operators defined by the metaplectic representation on the unitary group or operators defined by the corresponding induced representation of the Lie algebra . It turns out that the point spectrum of both types of operators can be expressed in terms of the eigenvalues of the corresponding matrices. For each , it is known that the selfadjoint operator has a quadratic Weyl symbol and we will give conditions on to guarantee that it has discrete spectrum. Under those conditions, using a known result in combinatorics, we show that the multiplicity of the eigenvalues of is (up to some explicit translation and scalar multiplication) a quasi polynomial of degree . Moreover, we show that counting eigenvalues function behaves as an Ehrhart polynomial. Using the latter result, we prove a Weyl's law for the operators .
