The Hilbert space of a free massless particle moving on a group manifold is studied in details using canonical quantisation. While the simplest model is invariant under a global symmetry, $G \times G$, there is a very natural way to…
We establish two new variants of arithmetic quantum ergodicity. The first is for self-dual $\mathrm{GL}_2$ Hecke-Maass newforms over $\mathbb{Q}$ as the level and Laplace eigenvalue vary jointly. The second is a nonsplit analogue wherein…
Using a model Hamiltonian for a single-mode electromagnetic field interacting with a nonlinear medium, we show that quantum expectation values of subsystem observables can exhibit remarkably diverse ergodic properties even when the dynamics…
We develop the theory of $L^2$-torsion of an automorphism of a group and compute it for every automorphism of a group which is hyperbolic and one-ended relative to a finite collection of virtually polycyclic groups. We also prove a…
We study gauged Laplacian operators on line bundles on a quantum 2-dimensional sphere. Symmetry under the (co)-action of a quantum group allows for their complete diagonalization. These operators describe `excitations moving on the quantum…
In this series, we investigate quantum ergodicity at small scales for linear hyperbolic maps of the torus ("cat maps'"). In Part II of the series, we construct quasimodes that are quantum ergodic but are not equidistributed at the…
Working within the framework of Loop Quantum Gravity (LQG), we construct a set of three operators suitable for identifying coordinate-like quantities on a spin-network configuration. In doing so, we rely on known properties of operators for…
Despite its long history, a canonical formulation of quantum ergodicity that applies to general classes of quantum dynamics, including driven systems, has not been fully established. Here we introduce and study a notion of quantum…
Rotations on the circle by irrational numbers give rise to uniquely ergodic Sturm dynamical systems. We show that rotations by badly approximable irrationals have the property of fast ergodicity. It was shown recently that any Sturmian…
We prove the quantum ergodicity of Eisenstein series on the arithmetic hyperbolic 3-manifold $\operatorname{PSL}_2(\mathcal{O}_F)\backslash \mathbb{H}^3$, where $F$ is an imaginary quadratic field with ring of integers $\mathcal{O}_F$ and…
In this paper, we study stable ergodicity of the action of groups of diffeomorphisms on smooth manifolds. Such actions are known to exist only on one-dimensional manifolds. The aim of this paper is to introduce a geometric method to…
This work is devoted to the study of minimal, smooth actions of finitely generated groups on the circle. We provide a sufficient condition for such an action to be ergodic (with respect to the Lebesgue measure), and we illustrate this…
We prove a quantum ergodic restriction (QER) theorem for real hypersurfaces $\Sigma \subset X,$ where $X$ is the Grauert tube associated with a real-analytic, compact Riemannian manifold. As an application, we obtain $h$ independent upper…
We rigorously examine the ergodic properties of quantum lattice models with short range interactions, in the C* algebra formulation of statistical mechanics. Ergodicity results, in the context of group actions on C* algebras, assume that…
We study linear ordinary differential equations which are analytically parametrized on Hermitian symmetric spaces and invariant under the action of symplectic groups. They are generalizations of the classical Lam\'e equation. Our main…
We consider isometric actions of lattices in semisimple algebraic groups on (possibly non-compact) homogeneous spaces with (possibly infinite) invariant Radon measure. We assume that the action has a dense orbit, and demonstrate two novel…
In this paper we study the stochastic quantization problem on the two dimensional torus and establish ergodicity for the solutions. Furthermore, we prove a characterization of the $\Phi^4_2$ quantum field on the torus in terms of its…
We study ergodicity of composition operators on rearrangement-invariant Banach function spaces. More precisely, we give a natural and easy-to-check condition on the symbol of the operator which entails mean ergodicity on a very large class…
For a Dunford-Schwartz operator in a fully symmetric space of measurable functions of an arbitrary measure space, we prove pointwise convergence of the conventional and weighted ergodic averages.
In this paper we develop a systematic theory of compact operator semigroups on locally convex vector spaces. In particular we prove new and generalized versions of the mean ergodic theorem and apply them to different notions of mean…
