We consider the dynamics of a quantum particle of mass $m$ on a $n$-edges star-graph with Hamiltonian $H_K=-(2m)^{-1}\hbar^2 \Delta$ and Kirchhoff conditions in the vertex. We describe the semiclassical limit of the quantum evolution of an…
Semiclassical approximations to quantum dynamics are almost as old as quantum mechanics itself. In the approach pioneered by Wigner, the evolution of his quasiprobability density function on phase space is expressed as an asymptotic series…
It is known that the limiting gap distribution of the directions to visible points in planar quasicrystals of cut-and-project type exists as a continuous function $F(s)$. In this article we study the asymptotic behaviour of said limiting…
This article concerns the asymptotics of pseudodifferential operators whose Weyl symbol is the convolution of a discontinuous function dilated by a large scaling parameter with a smooth function of constant scale. These operators include as…
We identify three semiclassical parameters in the QCD Dirac operator. Mutual coupling of the different types of degrees of freedom (translational, colour and spin) depends on how the semiclassical limit is taken. We discuss various…
We provide a quantization of the Schwarzschild spacetime in the presence of a cosmological constant, based on midisuperspace methods developed in the spherically symmetric sector of loop quantum gravity, using in particular the 'improved…
We study the asymptotic development at infinity of an integral operator. We use this development to give sufficient conditions in order to upper bound the number of critical periodic orbits that bifurcate from the outer boundary of the…

We study static and dynamical critical phenomena of chiral symmetry breaking in a two-flavor Nambu--Jona-Lasinio constituent quark model. We obtain the low-energy effective action for scalar and pseudoscalar degrees of freedom to lowest…
Using the model theory for Toeplitz operators with smooth symbols developed by the fourth author in the 80's, we study whether such operators $T_{F}$ can be embedded into a $C_{0}$-semigroup of operators on the Hardy space $H^p$ of the open…
This paper is concerned with the efficient numerical treatment of 1D stationary Schr\"odinger equations in the semi-classical limit when including a turning point of first order. For the considered scattering problems we show that the wave…
We investigate a semilinear wave equation with energy-critical nonlinearity and a nonlinear damping mechanism driven by the total energy of the system. The model combines the quintic defocusing term with a time-dependent dissipation of the…
In the quantum Zeno effect, quantum measurements can block the coherent oscillation of a two level system by freezing its state to one of the measurement eigenstates. The effect is conventionally controlled by the measurement frequency.…
We study discrete spectrum of self-adjoint Weyl pseudodifferential operators with discontinuous symbols of the form $1_\Omega \phi$ where $1_\Omega$ is the indicator of a domain in $\Omega\subset\mathbb R^2$, and $\phi\in C^\infty_0(\mathbb…
For a large class of semiclassical operators $P(h)-z$ which includes Schr\"odinger operators on manifolds with boundary, we construct the Quantum Monodromy operator $M(z)$ associated to a periodic orbit $\gamma$ of the classical flow. Using…
In this paper, we study an L2 version of the semiclassical approximation of magnetic Schroedinger operators with invariant Morse type potentials on covering spaces of compact manifolds. In particular, we are able to establish the existence…
Truncated Toeplitz operators are compressions of multiplication operators on $L^2$ to model spaces (that is, subspaces of $H^2$ which are invariant with respect to the backward shift). For this class of operators we prove certain Szeg\"o…
Consider a particle moving through a random medium, which consists of spherical obstacles, randomly distributed in R^d. The particle is accelerated by a constant external field; when colliding with an obstacle, the particle inelastically…
We consider a system of N nonrelativistic particles of spin 1/2 interacting with the quantized Maxwell field (mass zero and spin one) in the limit when the particles have a small velocity, imposing to the interaction an ultraviolet cutoff,…
We consider the nonlinear Schr{\"o}dinger equation with a short-range external potential, in a semi-classical scaling. We show that for fixed Planck constant, a com-plete scattering theory is available, showing that both the potential and…
