Abstract
Assume that f is a continuous transformation f:S1→S1. We consider here the cases where f is either the transformation f(z)=z2 or f is a smooth diffeomorphism of the circle S1. Consider a fixed continuous potential τ:S1=[0,1)→R, ν∈R and φ:S1→C (a quantum state). The transformation F^ν acting on φ:S1→C, F^ν(φ)=ϕ, defined by ϕ(z)=F^ν(φ(z))=φ(f(z))eiντ(z) describes a discrete time dynamical evolution of the quantum state φ. Given S:R→R we define the Lagrangian state φxS(z)=k∈Z∑eℏiS(z−k)e−4ℏ(z−k−x)2. In this case F^ν(φxS(z))=∑k∈ZeℏiS(f(z)−k)e−4ℏ(f(z)−k−x)2eiντ(z). Under suitable conditions on S the micro-support of φxS(z), when ℏ→0, is (x,S′(x)). One of meanings of the semiclassical limit in Quantum Mechanics is to take ν=ℏ1 and ℏ→0. We address the question of finding S such that φxS satisfies the property: ∀x, we have that F^ν(φxS) has micro-support on the graph of y→S′(y) (which is the micro-support of φxS). In other words: which S is such that F^ν leaves the micro-support of φxS invariant? This is related to a coboundary equation for τ, twist conditions and the boundary of the fat attractor.
