Semiclassical limit for the Schroedinger equation with a short scale periodic potential

Abstract

We consider the dynamics generated by the Schroedinger operator H=1/2Δ+V(x)+W(\epsix)H=-{1/2}\Delta + V(x) + W(\epsi x), where VV is a lattice periodic potential and WW an external potential which varies slowly on the scale set by the lattice spacing. We prove that in the limit \epsi0\epsi \to 0 the time dependent position operator and, more generally, semiclassical observables converge strongly to a limit which is determined by the semiclassical dynamics.
