Abstract

In this article we study the semiclassical asymptotics of the Martinet sub-Laplacian on the flat toroidal cylinder M=R×T2M = \mathbb{R} \times \mathbb{T}^2. We describe the asymptotic distribution of sequences of eigenfunctions oscillating at different scales prefixed by Rothschild-Stein estimates via the introduction of adapted two-microlocal semiclassical measures. We obtain concentration and invariance properties of these measures in terms of effective dynamics governed by harmonic or an-harmonic oscillators depending on the regime, and we show additional regularity properties with respect to critical points of the eigenvalues of the Montgomery family of quartic oscillators.
