Abstract

We consider eigenvalues of a quantized cat map (i.e. hyperbolic symplectic integer matrix), cut off in phase space to include a fixed point as its only periodic orbit on the torus. We prove a simple formula for the eigenvalues on both the quantized real line and the quantized torus in the semiclassical limit as h0h\to0. We then consider the case with no fixed points, and prove a superpolynomial decay bound on the eigenvalues. The results are illustrated with numerical calculations.
