Abstract

We consider time dependently perturbed quantum harmonic oscillators in R2\mathbb{R}^2: itu=12(x12x22+x12+x22)u+V(t,x,D)u, xR2, {\rm i} \partial_t u=\frac12(-\partial_{x_1}^2-\partial_{x_2}^2 + x_1^2+x_2^2)u +V(t, x, D)u, \qquad \ x \in \mathbb{R}^2, where V(t,x,D)V(t, x, D) is a selfadjoint pseudodifferential operator of degree zero, 2π2\pi periodic in time. We identify sufficient conditions on the principal symbol of the potential V(t,x,D)V(t, x, D) that ensure existence of solutions exhibiting unbounded growth in time of their positive Sobolev norms and we show that the class of symbols satisfying such conditions is generic in the Fr\'echet space of classical 2π2\pi- time periodic symbols of order zero. To prove our result we apply the abstract Theorem of arXiv:2101.09055v1 : the main difficulty is to find a conjugate operator AA for the resonant average of V(t,x,D)V(t,x, D). We construct explicitly the symbol of the conjugate operator AA, called escape function, combining techniques from microlocal analysis, dynamical systems and contact topology.
