Localization of quantum systems at Liouville tori

We consider a collection of pairwise commuting quantum observables in the setting of Berezin--Toeplitz quantization of a closed K\"{a}hler manifold and assume that the Arnold--Liouville theorem applies to their principal symbols. We use joint eigensections of these observables to define isometric embeddings of the quantum spaces into $L^2(\Lambda_{a_0})$, where $\Lambda_{a_0}$ is a fixed Liouville torus. These embeddings allow a broad class of quantum observables, including some defined by discontinuous functions, to be realized as sequences of operators on $L^2(\Lambda_{a_0})$ that converge strongly to multiplication operators. We discuss the spectral implications of this convergence and give applications to contractions of Lie algebra representations and to pairs of spectral projections of quantum observables.

On the distribution kernels of Toeplitz operators on CR manifolds

We study the distribution kernel of a Toeplitz operator associated with a classical pseudodifferential operator on a compact, embeddable, strictly pseudoconvex CR manifold. The main result consists of a formula for the values at the diagonal of the second coefficient in the expansion of the symbol of the kernel. We also establish asymptotic expansions for Toeplitz operators on the positive part of a compact not necessary strictly pseudoconvex CR orbifold under certain natural assumptions.

On polynomials in spectral projections of spin operators

We show that the operator norm of an arbitrary bivariate polynomial, evaluated on certain spectral projections of spin operators, converges to the maximal value in the semiclassical limit. We contrast this limiting behavior with that of the polynomial when evaluated on random pairs of projections. The discrepancy is a consequence of a type of Slepian spectral concentration phenomenon, which we prove in some cases.

Commutators of spectral projections of spin operators

We present a proof that the operator norm of the commutator of certain spectral projections associated with spin operators converges to $\frac 1 2$ in the semiclassical limit. The ranges of the projections are spanned by all eigenvectors corresponding to positive eigenvalues. The proof involves the theory of Hankel operators on the Hardy space. A discussion of several analogous results is also included, with an emphasis on the case of finite Heisenberg groups.
