Energy level statistics of quantized chaotic systems have been evaluated in the semiclassical limit via their periodic orbits using the Gutzwiller and related trace formulae. Here we evaluate a spectral statistic of chaotic 4-regular…
If M is a hyperbolic 3-manifold with a quasigeodesic flow then we show that \pi_1(M) acts in a natural way on a closed disc by homeomorphisms. Consequently, such a flow either has a closed orbit or the action on the boundary circle is…
For a non-Hermitian Hamiltonian H possessing a real spectrum, we introduce a canonical orthonormal basis in which a previously introduced unitary mapping of H to a Hermitian Hamiltonian h takes a simple form. We use this basis to construct…
We consider a class of unbounded quasiperiodic Schr\"odinger-type operators on $\ell^2(\mathbb Z^d)$ with monotone potentials (akin to the Maryland model) and show that the Rayleigh--Schr\"odinger perturbation series for these operators…
Motivated by the recent developments of pseudo-Hermitian quantum mechanics, we analyze the structure generated by unbounded metric operators in a Hilbert space. To that effect, we consider the notions of similarity and quasi-similarity…
We prove a weighted Carleman estimate for a class of one-dimensional, self-adjoint Schr\"odinger operators $P(h)$ with low regularity electric and magnetic potentials, where $h > 0$ is a semiclassical parameter. The long range part of…
We extend to orbifolds classical results on quantum ergodicity due to Shnirelman, Colin de Verdi\`ere and Zelditch, proving that, for any positive, first-order self-adjoint elliptic pseudodifferential operator P on a compact orbifold X with…
Trace formulae provide one of the most elegant descriptions of the classical-quantum correspondence. One side of a formula is given by a trace of a quantum object, typically derived from a quantum Hamiltonian, and the other side is…
The Champagne bottle is one of the simplest and typical examples of Liouville integrable systems that exhibit a non-trivial classical monodromy. This geometrical invariant perturbs globally the existence of action-angle coordinates on the…

The diagonalization of the metrical and canonical Hamilton operators of a scalar field with an arbitrary coupling, with a curvature in N-dimensional homogeneous isotropic space is considered in this paper. The energy spectrum of the…
We show that spheroidal wave functions viewed as the essential part of the joint eigenfunction of two commuting operators of $L_2(S^2)$ has a defect in the joint spectrum that makes a global labelling of the joint eigenfunctions by quantum…
We obtain a perturbative proof of localization for quasiperiodic operators on $\ell^2(\Z^d)$ with one-dimensional phase space and monotone sampling functions, in the regime of small hopping. The proof is based on an iterative scheme which…
Quantum-classical molecular dynamics, as a partial classical limit of the full quantum Schr\"odinger equation, is a widely used framework for quantum molecular dynamics. The underlying equations are nonlinear in nature, containing a quantum…
We compare the bottom of the spectrum of discrete and continuous Schr\"odinger operators with periodic potentials with barriers at the boundaries of their fundamental domains. Our results show that these energy levels coincide in the…
We introduce a class of densely defined, unbounded, 2-Hochschild cocycles ([PT]) on finite von Neumann algebras $M$. Our cocycles admit a coboundary, determined by an unbounded operator on the standard Hilbert space associated to the von…
We address the quantum-classical correspondence for chaotic systems with a crossover between symmetry classes. We consider the energy level statistics of a classically chaotic system in a weak magnetic field. The generating function of…
We show that for almost every frequency alpha \in \R \setminus \Q, for every C^omega potential v:\R/\Z \to R, and for almost every energy E the corresponding quasiperiodic Schrodinger cocycle is either reducible or nonuniformly hyperbolic.…
