Spectral curves and integrable systems
This text deals with inverse spectral theory in a semiclassical setting. Given a quantum system, the haunting question is “What interesting quantities can be discovered on the spectrum that can help to characterize the system ?” The general framework will be semiclassical analysis, and the issue is to recover the classical dynamics from the quantum spectrum. The coupling of a spin and an oscillator is a fundamental example in physics where some nontrivial explicit calculations can be done.
A combinatorial description of spectral isomorphisms between Morse flows is provided. We introduce the notion of a regular spectral isomorphism and we study some invariants of such isomorphisms. In the case of Morse cocycles taking values in , where p is a prime, each spectral isomorphism is regular. The same holds true for arbitrary finite abelian groups under an additional combinatorial condition of asymmetry in the defining Morse sequence, and for Morse flows of rank one. Rank one is shown to...
Let S and T be automorphisms of a standard Borel probability space. Some ergodic and spectral consequences of the equation ST = T²S are given for T ergodic and also when Tⁿ = I for some n>2. These ideas are used to construct examples of ergodic automorphisms S with oscillating maximal spectral multiplicity function. Other examples illustrating the theory are given, including Gaussian automorphisms having simple spectra and conjugate to their squares.
The spectral structure of the infinitesimal generator of a strongly continuous cosine function of linear bounded operators is investigated, under assumptions on the almost periodic behaviour of applications generated, in various ways, by C. Moreover, a first approach is presented to the analysis of connection between cosine functions and dynamical systems.
The theta series is a classical example of a modular form. In this article we argue that the trace , where is a self-adjoint elliptic pseudo-differential operator of order 1 with periodic bicharacteristic flow, may be viewed as a natural generalization. In particular, we establish approximate functional relations under the action of the modular group. This allows a detailed analysis of the asymptotics of near the real axis, and the proof of logarithm laws and limit theorems for its value...
In this work, we present some concepts recently introduced in the analysis and control of distributed parameter systems: Spreadability, vulnerability and protector control. These concepts permit to describe many biogeographical phenomena, as those of pollution, desertification or epidemics, which are characterized by a spatio-temporal evolution
For any continuous map f: M → M on a compact manifold M, we define SRB-like (or observable) probabilities as a generalization of Sinai-Ruelle-Bowen (i.e. physical) measures. We prove that f always has observable measures, even if SRB measures do not exist. We prove that the definition of observability is optimal, provided that the purpose of the researcher is to describe the asymptotic statistics for Lebesgue almost all initial states. Precisely, the never empty set of all observable measures is...
