Dynamical entropy of a non-commutative version of the phase doubling

Johan Andries, Mieke De Cock (1998)

Banach Center Publications

A quantum dynamical system, mimicking the classical phase doubling map z z 2 on the unit circle, is formulated and its ergodic properties are studied. We prove that the quantum dynamical entropy equals the classical value log2 by using compact perturbations of the identity as operational partitions of unity.

Equidistribution of cusp forms on PSL 2 ( 𝐙 ) PSL 2 ( 𝐑 )

Dmitri Jakobson (1997)

Annales de l'institut Fourier

We prove a microlocal version of the equidistribution theorem for Wigner distributions associated to cusp forms on PSL 2 ( Z ) PSL 2 ( R ) . This generalizes a recent result of W. Luo and P. Sarnak who prove equidistribution on PSL 2 ( Z ) H .

Half-delocalization of eigenfunctions for the Laplacian on an Anosov manifold

Nalini Anantharaman, Stéphane Nonnenmacher (2007)

Annales de l’institut Fourier

We study the high-energy eigenfunctions of the Laplacian on a compact Riemannian manifold with Anosov geodesic flow. The localization of a semiclassical measure associated with a sequence of eigenfunctions is characterized by the Kolmogorov-Sinai entropy of this measure. We show that this entropy is necessarily bounded from below by a constant which, in the case of constant negative curvature, equals half the maximal entropy. In this sense, high-energy eigenfunctions are at least half-delocalized....

On nodal sets and nodal domains on S 2 and 2

Alexandre Eremenko, Dmitry Jakobson, Nikolai Nadirashvili (2007)

Annales de l’institut Fourier

We discuss possible topological configurations of nodal sets, in particular the number of their components, for spherical harmonics on S 2 . We also construct a solution of the equation Δ u = u in 2 that has only two nodal domains. This equation arises in the study of high energy eigenfunctions.

Semi-classical formula beyond the Ehrenfest time in quantum chaos. (I) Trace formula

Frédéric Faure (2007)

Annales de l’institut Fourier

We consider a nonlinear area preserving Anosov map M on the torus phase space, which is the simplest example of a fully chaotic dynamics. We are interested in the quantum dynamics for long time, generated by the unitary quantum propagator M ^ . The usual semi-classical Trace formula expresses T r M ^ t for finite time t , in the limit 0 , in terms of periodic orbits of M of period t . Recent work reach time t t E / 6 where t E = log ( 1 / ) / λ is the Ehrenfest time, and λ is the Lyapounov coefficient. Using a semi-classical normal form...

Spectra of elements in the group ring of SU(2)

Alex Gamburd, Dmitry Jakobson, Peter Sarnak (1999)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

We present a new method for establishing the ‘‘gap” property for finitely generated subgroups of SU ( 2 ) , providing an elementary solution of Ruziewicz problem on S 2 as well as giving many new examples of finitely generated subgroups of SU ( 2 ) with an explicit gap. The distribution of the eigenvalues of the elements of the group ring 𝐑 [ SU ( 2 ) ] in the N -th irreducible representation of SU ( 2 ) is also studied. Numerical experiments indicate that for a generic (in measure) element of 𝐑 [ SU ( 2 ) ] , the “unfolded” consecutive spacings...
