Abstract

For a large class of semiclassical operators P(h)zP(h)-z which includes Schr\"odinger operators on manifolds with boundary, we construct the Quantum Monodromy operator M(z)M(z) associated to a periodic orbit γ\gamma of the classical flow. Using estimates relating M(z)M(z) and P(h)zP(h)-z, we prove semiclassical estimates for small complex perturbations of P(h)zP(h) -z in the case γ\gamma is semi-hyperbolic. As our main application, we give logarithmic lower bounds on the mass of eigenfunctions away from semi-hyperbolic orbits of the associated classical flow. As a second application of the Monodromy Operator construction, we prove if γ\gamma is an elliptic orbit, then P(h)P(h) admits quasimodes which are well-localized near γ\gamma.
