We consider the semiclassical operator $\hat{H}(\epsilon,h):=H_{0}(hD_{x})+\epsilon \tilde{P}_{0}$ on $L^{2}(\mathbb{R}^{l})$, where the symbol of $\hat{H}(\epsilon,h)$ corresponds to a perturbed classical Hamiltonian of the form:…

Consider the family of Schr\"odinger operators (and also its Dirac version) on $\ell^2(\mathbb{Z})$ or $\ell^2(\mathbb{N})$ \[ H^W_{\omega,S}=\Delta + \lambda F(S^n\omega) + W, \quad \omega\in\Omega, \] where $S$ is a transformation on…

The spectral curve is the key ingredient in the modern theory of classical integrable systems. We develop a construction of the ``quantum spectral curve'' and argue that it takes the analogous structural and unifying role on the quantum…

We describe some semiclassical spectral properties of Harper-like operators, i.e. of one-dimensional quantum Hamiltonians periodic in both momentum and position. The spectral region corresponding to the separatrices of the classical…

We use the method of atomic decomposition and a new family of Banach spaces to study the action of transfer operators associated to piecewise-defined maps. It turns out that these transfer operators are quasi-compact even when the…

Transfer operators have been used widely to study the long time properties of chaotic maps or flows. We describe quantum analogues of these operators, which have been used as toy models by the quantum chaos community, but are also relevant…

Let M = R n or possibly a Riemannian, non compact manifold. We consider semi-excited resonances for a h-differential operator H(x, hD x ; h) on L 2 (M) induced by a non-degenerate periodic orbit $\gamma$ 0 of semi-hyperbolic type, which is…
