We consider the operator $${\cal H} = {\cal H}' -\frac{\partial^2\ }{\partial x_d^2} \quad\text{on}\quad\omega\times\mathbb{R}$$ subject to the Dirichlet or Robin condition, where a domain $\omega\subseteq\mathbb{R}^{d-1}$ is bounded or…
We prove a general estimate for the Weyl remainder of an elliptic, semiclassical pseudodifferential operator in terms of volumes of recurrence sets for the Hamilton flow of its principal symbol. This quantifies earlier results of Volovoy.…
We study non-elliptic quadratic differential operators. Quadratic differential operators are non-selfadjoint operators defined in the Weyl quantization by complex-valued quadratic symbols. When the real part of their Weyl symbols is a…
For quantum observables $H$ truncated on the range of orthogonal projections $\Pi_N$ of rank $N$, we study the corresponding Weyl symbol in the phase space in the semiclassical limit of vanishing Planck constant $\hbar\to0$ and large…
We study the distribution of eigenvalues for selfadjoint $h$--pseudodifferential operators in dimension two, arising as perturbations of selfadjoint operators with a periodic classical flow. When the strength $\varepsilon$ of the…
We study operators of Kramers-Fokker-Planck type in the semiclassical limit, assuming that the exponent of the associated Maxwellian is a Morse function with a finite number $n_0$ of local minima. Under suitable additional assumptions, we…
We consider quite general $h$-pseudodifferential operators on $R^n$ with small random perturbations and show that in the limit of small $h$ the eigenvalues are distributed according to a Weyl law with a probabality that tends to 1. The…
We consider a non-selfadjoint $h$-differential model operator $P_h$ in the semiclassical limit ($h\rightarrow 0$) subject to small random perturbations. Furthermore, we let the coupling constant $\delta$ be $\exp\{-\frac{1}{Ch}\}\leq \delta…
Here we explore, in a series of articles, semiclassical quasimodes u(h,b), approximative solutions P(h)u(h,b)\sim 0, depending on $0<h<1$, and on b, the subprincipal symbol. We study a pseudodifferential operator with transversal…
In this work we consider semi-classical Schr\"odinger operators with potentials supported in a bounded strictly convex subset ${\cal O}$ of ${\bf R}^n$ with smooth boundary. Letting $h$ denote the semi-classical parameter, we consider…
The general theory of boundary value problems for linear elliptic wedge operators (on smooth manifolds with boundary) leads naturally, even in the scalar case, to the need to consider vector bundles over the boundary together with general…
We study the link between pseudo-differential operators and Wick operators via the Bargmann transform. We deduce a formula for the symbol of the Wick operator in terms of the short-time Fourier transform of the Weyl symbol. This gives…
A classical result by R. Rochberg says that every bounded Toeplitz operator $T$ on the Hilbert Paley-Wiener space $\mathrm{PW}_a^2$ admits a bounded symbol $\varphi$. We generalize this result to Toeplitz operators on the Banach…
We study the scaling dimension $\Delta_{\phi^n}$ of the operator $\phi^n$ where $\phi$ is the fundamental complex field of the $U(1)$ model at the Wilson-Fisher fixed point in $d=4-\varepsilon$. Even for a perturbatively small fixed point…
We estimate the norm of the resolvent of non-selfadjoint Berezin Toeplitz operators in the semi-classical limit, under various assumptions on the Poisson bracket of the real and imaginary parts of the symbol. In case this bracket is…
We prove a new criterion for the essential self-adjointness of pseudodifferential operators that does not involve ellipticity-type assumptions. For example, we show that self-adjointness holds in case the symbol is $C^{2d+3}$ with…
We adapt the semiclassical technique, as used in the context of instanton transitions in quantum field theory, to the description of tunneling transmissions at finite energies through potential barriers by complex quantum mechanical…
For a class of PT-symmetric operators with small random perturbations, the eigenvalues obey Weyl asymptotics with probability close to 1. Consequently, when the principal symbol is non-real, there are many non-real eigenvalues.
We consider a smooth hyper-surface Z of a closed Riemannian manifold X. Let P be the Poisson operator associating to a smooth function on Z its harmonic extension on X\Z. If A is a pseudo-differential operator on X of degree <3, we prove…
We find some explicit bounds on the ${\mathcal L}(L^2)$-norm of pseudo-differential operators with symbols defined by a metric on the phase space. In particular, we prove that this norm depends only on the "structure constants" of the…
