The essential support of the symbol of a semiclassical pseudodifferentail operator is characterized by semiclassical wavefront sets of distributions. The proof employs a coherent state whose center in phase space is dependent on Planck's…

We study pseudodifferential operators on a hyperbolic surface using `Zelditch quantization'. We motivate and study the trace of $A_2^* A_1(t)$, where $A_2$ is a fixed operator and the Zelditch symbol of $A_1(t)$ evolves by geodesic flow. We…
The use of symplectic numerical schemes on Hamiltonian systems is widely known to lead to favorable long-time behaviour. While this phenomenon is thoroughly understood in the context of finite-dimensional Hamiltonian systems, much less is…
We study semiclassical asymptotics for spectra of non-selfadjoint perturbations of selfadjoint analytic $h$-pseudodifferential operators in dimension 2, assuming that the classical flow of the unperturbed part is completely integrable.…

On this paper, we have proposed an approach to observe the time-centered difference scheme for dissipative mechanical systems from a Hamiltonian perspective and to introduce the idea of symplectic algorithm to dissipative systems. The…
We study quantum quenches in the $S=1$ Heisenberg spin chain and show that the dynamics can be described by the recently developed semi-semiclassical method based on particles propagating along classical trajectories but scattering quantum…
At a critical point of a second order phase transition the intrinsic energy surface is flat and there is no stable minimum value of the deformation. However, for a finite system, we show that there is an effective deformation which can…
The compatibility of the semiclassical quantization of area-preserving maps with some exact identities which follow from the unitarity of the quantum evolution operator is discussed. The quantum identities involve relations between traces…
We compare the bottom of the spectrum of discrete and continuous Schr\"odinger operators with periodic potentials with barriers at the boundaries of their fundamental domains. Our results show that these energy levels coincide in the…
We study the behaviour of functions of dissipative operators under relatively bounded and relatively trace class perturbation. We introduce and study the class of analytic relatively operator Lipschitz functions. An essential role is played…
Using quantum maps we study the accuracy of semiclassical trace formulas. The role of chaos in improving the semiclassical accuracy, in some systems, is demonstrated quantitatively. However, our study of the standard map cautions that this…
The purpose of this note is to show how some results from the theory of partial differential equations apply to the study of pseudo-spectra of non-self-adjoint operators, which is a topic of current interest in applied mathematics.
