The level crossing problem in semi-classical analysis I. The symmetric case

Yves Colin de Verdière (2003)

Annales de l’institut Fourier

Similarity:

We describe a microlocal normal form for a symmetric system of pseudo-differential equations whose principal symbol is a real symmetric matrix with a generic crossing of eigenvalues. We use it in order to give a precise description of the microlocal solutions.

The time-dependent Born-Oppenheimer approximation

Gianluca Panati, Herbert Spohn, Stefan Teufel (2007)

ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis

Similarity:

We explain why the conventional argument for deriving the time-dependent Born-Oppenheimer approximation is incomplete and review recent mathematical results, which clarify the situation and at the same time provide a systematic scheme for higher order corrections. We also present a new elementary derivation of the correct second-order time-dependent Born-Oppenheimer approximation and discuss as applications the dynamics near a conical intersection of potential surfaces and reactive...
