Application of the diffraction trace formula to the three disk scattering system

The diffraction trace formula ({\em Phys. Rev. Lett.} {\bf 73}, 2304 (1994)) and spectral determinant are tested on the open three disk scattering system. The system contains a generic and exponentially growing number of diffraction periodic orbits. In spite of this it is shown that even the scattering resonances with large imaginary part can be reproduced semiclassicaly. The non-trivial interplay of the diffraction periodic orbits with the usual geometrical orbits produces the fine structure of the complicated spectrum of scattering resonances, which are beyond the resolution of the conventional periodic orbit theory.

Periodic Orbit Quantization beyond Semiclassics

A quantum generalization of the semiclassical theory of Gutzwiller is given. The new formulation leads to systematic orbit-by-orbit inclusion of higher $\hbar$ contributions to the spectral determinant. We apply the theory to billiard systems, and compare the periodic orbit quantization including the first $\hbar$ contribution to the exact quantum mechanical results.

Periodic Orbit Theory of Diffraction

An extension of the Gutzwiller trace formula is given that includes diffraction effects due to hard wall scatterers or other singularities. The new trace formula involves periodic orbits which have arcs on the surface of singularity and which correspond to creping waves. A new family of resonances in the two disk scattering system can be well described which is completely missing if only the traditional periodic orbits are used.

A Fredholm Determinant for Semi-classical Quantization

We investigate a new type of approximation to quantum determinants, the ``\qFd", and test numerically the conjecture that for Axiom A hyperbolic flows such determinants have a larger domain of analyticity and better convergence than the \qS s derived from the \Gt. The conjecture is supported by numerical investigations of the 3-disk repeller, a normal-form model of a flow, and a model 2-$d$ map.

A New Determinant for Quantum Chaos

We propose a new type of approximation to quantum determinants, ``quantum Fredholm determinant", and conjecture that, compared to the quantum Selberg zeta functions derived from Gutzwiller semiclassical trace formulas, such determinants have a larger domain of analyticity for Axiom A hyperbolic systems. The conjecture is supported by a numerical investigation of the 3-disk repeller.
