Abstract

Let ΔH+V-\Delta_{\mathbb{H}}+V be the Schr\"odinger operator on H\mathbb{H} where VLp(H)L(H)V \in L^p(\mathbb{H}) \cap L^\infty(\mathbb{H}) for some p>0p > 0. If (Xn)(X_n) is a uniformly discrete sequence of compact hyperbolic surfaces with a uniform spectral gap that Benjamini-Schramm converges to H\mathbb{H}, we prove quantum mixing for the eigenfunctions of ΔXn+Vn-\Delta_{X_n}+V_n in any sufficiently large spectral window II, where VnV_n is the potential on XnX_n induced by VV. These apply to large degree lifts of a potential on a base surface such as congruence covers of arithmetic surfaces, with high probability to random hyperbolic surfaces in the Weil-Petersson model of large genus, and to Hartree one-particle operators arising in thermodynamic limit of many-body Bose gas on hyperbolic surfaces. The proof uses the Duhamel formula for the hyperbolic wave equation together with exponential mixing of the geodesic flow on T1XnT^1 X_n.
