Abstract

We study horocycle eigenfunctions at Lobachevsky plane. They are functions u ⁣:H=C+={zC ⁣:z>0}Cu\colon \mathbb H=\mathbb C^+=\{z\in\mathbb C\colon \Im z>0\}\to\mathbb C such that (y2(2x2+2y2)+2iτyx)u(x+iy)=s2u(x+iy)\left(-y^2\left(\frac{\partial^2}{\partial x^2}+\frac{\partial^2}{\partial y^2}\right)+ 2i\tau y\frac{\partial}{\partial x}\right)u(x+iy)=s^2 u(x+iy), x+iyC+x+iy\in\mathbb C^+, with τ,sR\tau,s\in\mathbb R, τ\tau large and s/τs/\tau small. In other words, we study eigenfunctions of magnetic quantum Hamiltonian on hyperbolic plane. By Bohr semiclassical correspondence principle, the asymptotic behavior of such functions is related to horocycle flow on THT\mathbb H. Let uCu^{\mathbb C} be analytic continuation of function uu to Grauert tube; the latter is an open neighbourhood of H\mathbb H in the complexified Lobachevsky plane HC\mathbb H^{\mathbb C}. If a sequence of horocycle functions possesses microlocal quantum ergodicity at the admissible energy level (with =1/τ\hbar=1/\tau) then we may find asymptotic distribution of divisor of uCu^{\mathbb C}. This is done by establishing the asymptotic estimates on uC|u^{\mathbb C}| in HC\mathbb H^{\mathbb C}. Under imaginary-time horocycle flow, microlocalization of uu in THT^*\mathbb H is taken to localization of uCu^{\mathbb C} on HC\mathbb H^{\mathbb C}. The growth of functions uCu^{\mathbb C} as τ\tau\to\infty turns to be governed by the growth of complexified gauge factor occurring in τ\tau-automorphic kernels for functions on H\mathbb H.

Comments

v.3. Grauert tube was described explicitly, also formula for $t$ was derived. Some extra geometric considerations were added. Proof of "FIO composition" result is given. Some minor corrections were implemented
