Trajectories are a central concept in our understanding of classical phenomena and also in rationalizing quantum mechanical effects. In this work we provide a way to determine semiclassical paths, approximations to quantum averages in phase…
In this paper we deal with the problem of regularity for non hypo-elliptic partial differential equations with polynomial coefficients. An operator $A$ on on the space of tempered distributions $\mathcal{S}^\prime$ is regular if $u$ belongs…
In this paper, we prove restriction theorems for the Fourier-Laguerre transform and establish Strichartz estimates for the Schr\"{o}dinger propagator $e^{-itL_\alpha}$ for the Laguerre operator…
Explicit symplectic integrators have been important tools for accurate and efficient approximations of mechanical systems with separable Hamiltonians. For the first time, the article proposes for arbitrary Hamiltonians similar integrators,…
We prove that there exists a pair of "non-isospectral" 1D semiclassical Schr\"odinger operators whose spectra agree modulo h^\infty. In particular, all their semiclassical trace invariants are the same. Our proof is based on an idea of…
Let $V_\Gamma$ be a lattice periodic potential and $A$ and $\phi$ external electromagnetic potentials which vary slowly on the scale set by the lattice spacing. It is shown that the Wigner function of a solution of the Schroedinger equation…
For the last one and a half decades it has been known that the exponential product formula holds also {\it in norm} in nontrivial cases. In this note, we review the results on its convergence in norm as well as pointwise of the integral…
We propose an expansion of the unitary evolution operator, associated to a given Schr\"odinger equation, in terms of a finite product of explicit unitary operators. In this manner, this unitary expansion can be truncated at the desired…
For a large class of semiclassical pseudodifferential operators, including Schr\"odinger operators, $ P (h) = -h^2 \Delta_g + V (x) $, on compact Riemannian manifolds, we give logarithmic lower bounds on the mass of eigenfunctions outside…
We prove a dispersive estimate for the evolution of Schroedinger operators $H = -\Delta + V(x)$ in ${\mathbb R}^3$. The potential is allowed to be a complex-valued function belonging to $L^p(\R^3)\cap L^q(\R^3)$, $p < \frac32 < q$, so that…
We introduce a minimalistic notion of semiclassical quantization and use it to prove that the convex hull of the semiclassical spectrum of a quantum system given by a collection of commuting operators converges to the convex hull of the…
We consider quantum scattering from a compactly supported potential $q$. The semiclassical limit amounts to letting the wavenumber $k \to \infty$ while rescaling the potential as $k^2 q$ (alternatively, one can scale Planck's constant…
The coherent-state initial-value representation (IVR) for the semi-classical real-time propagator of a quantum system, developed by Herman and Kluk (HK), is widely used in computational studies of chemical dynamics. On the other hand, the…
We introduce a family of high-order time semi-discretizations for semilinear wave equations of Klein--Gordon type with arbitrary smooth nonlinerities that are uniformly accurate in the non-relativistic limit where the speed of light goes to…
Power-law uniform (in the operator norm) convergence on vector subspaces with their own norms in von Neumann's ergodic theorem with continuous time is considered. All possible exponents of the considered power-law convergence are found; for…
A locally compact group $G$ is said to be weakly amenable if the Fourier algebra $A(G)$ admits completely bounded approximative units. Consider the family of groups $G_n=SL(2,\Bbb R)\ltimes H_n$ where $n\ge 2$, $H_n$ is the $2n+1$…
It is known that a unitary matrix can be decomposed into a product of reflections, one for each dimension, and the Haar measure on the unitary group pushes forward to independent uniform measures on the reflections. We consider the sequence…
We prove a family of dispersive estimates for the higher order Schr\"odinger equation $iu_t=(-\Delta)^mu +Vu$ for $m\in \mathbb N$ with $m>1$ and $2m<n<4m$. Here $V$ is a real-valued potential belonging to the closure of $C_0$ functions…
We produce, on general homogeneous groups, an analogue of the usual H\"ormander pseudodifferential calculus on Euclidean space, at least as far as products and adjoints are concerned. In contrast to earlier works, we do not limit ourselves…
We study a class of self-adjoint operators defined on the direct sum of two Hilbert spaces: a finite dimensional one called sometimes a ``small subsystem'' and an infinite dimensional one -- a ``reservoir''. The operator, which we call a…
