Semiclassical measures of eigenfunctions of the attractive Coulomb operator
Abstract
We characterize the set of semiclassical measures corresponding to sequences of eigenfunctions of the attractive Coulomb operator . In particular, any Radon probability measure on the fixed negative energy hypersurface of the Kepler Hamiltonian in classical phase space that is invariant under the regularized Kepler flow is the semiclassical measure of a sequence of eigenfunctions of with eigenvalue as . The main tool that we use is the celebrated Fock unitary conjugation map between eigenspaces of and . We first prove that for any Kepler orbit on , there is a sequence of eigenfunctions that converge in the sense of semiclassical measures to the delta measure supported on as , and we finish using a density argument in the weak-* topology.
