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....

Hamiltonian loops from the ergodic point of view

Leonid Polterovich (1999)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

Let G be the group of Hamiltonian diffeomorphisms of a closed symplectic manifold Y . A loop h : S 1 → G is called strictly ergodic if for some irrational number the associated skew product map T : S 1 × Y → S 1 × Y defined by T ( t , y ) = ( t + α ; h ( t ) y ) is strictly ergodic. In the present paper we address the following question. Which elements of the fundamental group of G can be represented by strictly ergodic loops? We prove existence of contractible strictly ergodic loops for a wide class of symplectic manifolds (for instance for simply connected...

Hamiltonian stability and subanalytic geometry

Laurent Niederman (2006)

Annales de l’institut Fourier

In the 70’s, Nekhorochev proved that for an analytic nearly integrable Hamiltonian system, the action variables of the unperturbed Hamiltonian remain nearly constant over an exponentially long time with respect to the size of the perturbation, provided that the unperturbed Hamiltonian satisfies some generic transversality condition known as steepness. Using theorems of real subanalytic geometry, we derive a geometric criterion for steepness: a numerical function h which is real analytic around a...
