Abstract

We consider the Schr\"odinger equation ihtψ=Hψih\partial_t\psi = H\psi, ψ=ψ(,t)L2(T)\psi=\psi(\cdot,t)\in L^2({\mathbb T}). The operator H=x2+V(x,t)H = -\partial^2_x + V(x,t) includes smooth potential VV, which is assumed to be time TT-periodic. Let W=W(t)W=W(t) be the fundamental solution of this linear ODE system on L2(T)L^2({\mathbb T}). Then according to terminology from Lyapunov-Floquet theory, M=W(T){\cal M}=W(T) is the monodromy operator. We prove that M{\cal M} is unitarily conjugated to exp(Tihx2)+C\exp\big(-\frac{T}{ih} \partial^2_x\big) + {\cal C}, where C{\cal C} is a compact operator with an arbitrarily small norm.
