We consider the eigenvalues of a one-dimensional semiclassical Schr\"odinger operator, where the potential consist of two quadratic ends (that is, looks like a harmonic oscillator at each infinite end), possibly with a flat region in the…
The phenomenon "hypo-coercivity," i.e., the increased rate of contraction for a semi-group upon adding a large skew-adjoint part to the generator, is considered for 1D semigroups generated by the Schr\"odinger operators $-\partial^2_x + x^2…
A new approach to the problem of finding the asymptotical behaviour of large orders of semiclassical expansion is suggested. Asymptotics of high orders not only for eigenvalues, but also for eigenfunctions, are constructed. Thus, one can…
We study the semi-classical trace formula at a critical energy level for a Schr\"odinger operator on $\mathbb{R}^{n}$. We assume here that the potential has a totally degenerate critical point associated to a local minimum. The main result,…
This work explores the non-relativistic quantum propagator $K(x,t)$ as a solution of the Schr\"odinger equation. We suppose that the propagator takes the form ${\rm exp}\left(\frac{\mathrm{i}}{\hbar}S+R\right)$, generalizing the usual WKB…
