We study the ergodic properties of quantized ergodic maps of the torus. It is known that these satisfy quantum ergodicity: For almost all eigenstates, the expectation values of quantum observables converge to the classical phase-space…

Let $f$ be a symmetric norm on ${\mathbb R}^n$ and let ${\mathcal B}({\mathcal H})$ be the set of all bounded linear operators on a Hilbert space ${\mathcal H}$ of dimension at least $n$. Define a norm on ${\mathcal B}({\mathcal H})$ by…

An exact renormalization scheme is introduced for quantum Anosov maps (QAMs) on a torus for general boundary conditions (BCs), whose number is always finite. Given a QAM $\hat{U}$ with $k$ BCs and Planck's constant $\hbar =2\pi /p$ ($p$…

We show that the top eigenvalue of an $n\times n$ random symmetric Toeplitz matrix, scaled by $\sqrt{2n\log n}$, converges to the square of the $2\to4$ operator norm of the sine kernel.

The sum of the first $n \geq 1$ eigenvalues of the Laplacian is shown to be maximal among triangles for the equilateral triangle, maximal among parallelograms for the square, and maximal among ellipses for the disk, provided the ratio…

We study the resonance eigenstates of a particular quantization of the open baker map. For any admissible value of Planck's constant, the corresponding quantum map is a subunitary matrix, and the nonzero component of its spectrum is…

We consider random matrices of the form $H_N=A_N+U_N B_N U^*_N$, where $A_N$, $B_N$ are two $N$ by $N$ deterministic Hermitian matrices and $U_N$ is a Haar distributed random unitary matrix. We establish a universal Central Limit Theorem…
