Quantitative analysis of metastability in reversible diffusion processes via a Witten complex approach.

Francis Nier — 2004

Journées Équations aux dérivées partielles

We present here a simplified version of recent results obtained with B. Helffer and M. Klein. They are concerned with the exponentally small eigenvalues of the Witten Laplacian on 0 -forms. We show how the Witten complex structure is better taken into account by working with singular values. This provides a convenient framework to derive accurate approximations of the first eigenvalues of Δ f , h ( 0 ) and solves efficiently the question of weakly resonant wells.

Adiabatic approximation for a two-level atom in a light beam

Amandine AftalionFrancis Nier — 2013

Annales de la faculté des sciences de Toulouse Mathématiques

Following the recent experimental realization of synthetic gauge potentials, Jean Dalibard addressed the question whether the adiabatic ansatz could be mathematically justified for a model of an atom in 2 internal states, shone by a quasi resonant laser beam. In this paper, we derive rigorously the asymptotic model guessed by the physicists, and show that this asymptotic analysis contains the information about the presence of vortices. Surprisingly, the main difficulties do not come from the nonlinear...
