Abstract

For a class of reducible Hamiltonian partial differential equations (PDEs) with arbitrary spatial dimensions, quantified by a quadratic polynomial with time-dependent coefficients, we present a comprehensive classification of long-term solution behaviors within Sobolev space. This classification is achieved through the utilization of Metaplectic and Schr\"odinger representations. Each pattern of Sobolev norm behavior corresponds to a specific nn-dimensional symplectic normal form, as detailed in Theorems 1.1 and 1.2. When applied to periodically or quasi-periodically forced nn-dimensional quantum harmonic oscillators, we identify novel growth rates for the Hs\mathcal{H}^s-norm as tt tends to infinity, such as t(n1)seλstt^{(n-1)s}e^{\lambda st} (with λ>0\lambda>0) and t(2n1)s+ιt2nst^{(2n-1)s}+ \iota t^{2ns} (with ι0\iota\geq 0). Notably, we demonstrate that stability in Sobolev space, defined as the boundedness of the Sobolev norm, is essentially a unique characteristic of one-dimensional scenarios, as outlined in Theorem 1.3. As a byproduct, we discover that the growth rate of the Sobolev norm for the quantum Hamiltonian can be directly described by that of the solution to the classical Hamiltonian which exhibits the ``fastest" growth, as articulated in Theorem 1.4.
