Singularity in classical and quantum Kepler Problem with Weak Anisotropy

Chaotic Dynamics 2009-11-07 v1

Abstract

Anisotropic Kepler problem is investigated by perturbation method in both classical and quantum mechanics. In classical mechanics, due to the singularity of the potential, global diffusion in phase space occurs at an arbitrarily small perturbation parameter. In quantum mechanics, the singularity induces a large transition amplitude between quasi degenerate eigen states, which generically decays as \hbar in the semi-classical limit.
