Asymptotic Lattices, Good Labellings, and the Rotation Number for Quantum Integrable Systems

This article introduces the notion of good labellings for asymptotic lattices in order to study joint spectra of quantum integrable systems from the point of view of inverse spectral theory. As an application, we consider a new spectral quantity for a quantum integrable system, the quantum rotation number. In the case of two degrees of freedom, we obtain a constructive algorithm for the detection of appropriate labellings for joint eigenvalues, which we use to prove that, in the semiclassical limit, the quantum rotation number can be calculated on a joint spectrum in a robust way, and converges to the well-known classical rotation number. The general results are applied to the semitoric case where formulas become particularly natural.

Spectra for semiclassical operators with periodic bicharacteristics in dimension two

We study the distribution of eigenvalues for selfadjoint $h$--pseudodifferential operators in dimension two, arising as perturbations of selfadjoint operators with a periodic classical flow. When the strength $\varepsilon$ of the perturbation is $\ll h$, the spectrum displays a cluster structure, and assuming that $\varepsilon \gg h^2$ (or sometimes $\gg h^{N_0}$, for $N_0 >1$ large), we obtain a complete asymptotic description of the individual eigenvalues inside subclusters, corresponding to the regular values of the leading symbol of the perturbation, averaged along the flow.

Diophantine tori and nonselfadjoint inverse spectral problems

We study a semiclassical inverse spectral problem based on a spectral asymptotics result of arXiv:math/0502032, which applies to small non-selfadjoint perturbations of selfadjoint $h$-pseudodifferential operators in dimension 2. The eigenvalues in a suitable complex window have an expansion in terms of a quantum Birkhoff normal form for the operator near several Lagrangian tori which are invariant under the classical dynamics and satisfy a Diophantine condition. In this work we prove that the normal form near a single Diophantine torus is uniquely determined by the associated eigenvalues. We also discuss the normalization procedure and symmetries of the quantum Birkhoff normal form near a Diophantine torus.
