Eigenvalue estimates for a three-dimensional magnetic Schrödinger operator

We consider a magnetic Schrödinger operator $H^h=(-ih\nabla-\vec{A})^2$ with the Dirichlet boundary conditions in an open set $Ω\subset {\mathbb R}^3$, where $h>0$ is a small parameter. We suppose that the minimal value $b_0$ of the module $|\vec{B}|$ of the vector magnetic field $\vec{B}$ is strictly positive, and there exists a unique minimum point of $|\vec{B}|$, which is non-degenerate. The main result of the paper is upper estimates for the low-lying eigenvalues of the operator $H^h$ in the semiclassical limit. We also prove the existence of an arbitrary large number of spectral gaps in the semiclassical limit in the corresponding periodic setting.

Classical and Quantum Dynamics on Orbifolds

We present two versions of the Egorov theorem for orbifolds. The first one is a straightforward extension of the classical theorem for smooth manifolds. The second one considers an orbifold as a singular manifold, the orbit space of a Lie group action, and deals with the corresponding objects in noncommutative geometry.

Integer points in domains and adiabatic limits

We prove an asymptotic formula for the number of integer points in a family of bounded domains in the Euclidean space with smooth boundary, which remain unchanged along some linear subspace and stretch out in the directions, orthogonal to this subspace. A more precise estimate for the remainder is obtained in the case when the domains are strictly convex. Using these results, we improved the remainder estimate in the adiabatic limit formula (due to the first author) for the eigenvalue distribution function of the Laplace operator associated with a bundle-like metric on a compact manifold equipped with a Riemannian foliation in a particular case when the foliation is a linear foliation on the torus and the metric is the standard Euclidean metric on the torus.

Semiclassical spectral asymptotics for a two-dimensional magnetic Schrödinger operator II: The case of degenerate wells

We continue our study of a magnetic Schrödinger operator on a two-dimensional compact Riemannian manifold in the case when the minimal value of the module of the magnetic field is strictly positive. We analyze the case when the magnetic field has degenerate magnetic wells. The main result of the paper is an asymptotics of the groundstate energy of the operator in the semiclassical limit. The upper bounds are improved in the case when we have a localization by a miniwell effect of lowest order. These results are applied to prove the existence of an arbitrary large number of spectral gaps in the semiclassical limit in the corresponding periodic setting.

Adiabatic limits and noncommutative Weyl formula

We discuss asymptotic behavior of the eigenvalue distribution of the differential form Laplacian on a Riemannian foliated manifold when the metric on the ambient manifold is blown up in directions normal to the leaves (in the adiabatic limit). Motivated by analogies with semiclassical spectral asymptotics, we use ideas and notions of noncommutative geometry to suggest a conjectural formula for the eigenvalue distribution in the adiabatic limit, which we call noncommutative Weyl formula. We review known results and discuss the correctness of the noncommutative Weyl formula in each case.

Semiclassical spectral asymptotics for a two-dimensional magnetic Schrödinger operator: The case of discrete wells

We consider a magnetic Schrödinger operator $H^h$, depending on the semiclassical parameter $h>0$, on a two-dimensional Riemannian manifold. We assume that there is no electric field. We suppose that the minimal value $b_0$ of the magnetic field $b$ is strictly positive, and there exists a unique minimum point of $b$, which is non-degenerate. The main result of the paper is a complete asymptotic expansion for the low-lying eigenvalues of the operator $H^h$ in the semiclassical limit. We also apply these results to prove the existence of an arbitrary large number of spectral gaps in the semiclassical limit in the corresponding periodic setting.

Classical and quantum dynamics in transverse geometry of Riemannian foliations

First, we survey some results on classical and quantum dynamical systems associated with transverse Dirac operators on Riemannian foliations. Then we illustrate these results by two examples of Riemannian foliations: a foliation given by the fibers of a fibration and a linear foliation on the two-dimensional torus.

Noncommutative Hamiltonian dynamics on foliated manifolds

First, we review the notion of a Poisson structure on a noncommutative algebra due to Block-Getzler and Xu and introduce a notion of a Hamiltonian vector field on a noncommutative Poisson algebra. Then we describe a Poisson structure on a noncommutative algebra associated with a transversely symplectic foliation and construct a class of Hamiltonian vector fields associated with this Poisson structure.

Semiclassical analysis of Schrödinger operators with magnetic wells

We give a survey of some results, mainly obtained by the authors and their collaborators, on spectral properties of the magnetic Schrödinger operators in the semiclassical limit. We focus our discussion on asymptotic behavior of the individual eigenvalues for operators on closed manifolds and existence of gaps in intervals close to the bottom of the spectrum of periodic operators.

Transversality and Lefschetz numbers for foliation maps

Let $F$ be a smooth foliation on a closed Riemannian manifold $M$, and let $Λ$ be a transverse invariant measure of $F$. Suppose that $Λ$ is absolutely continuous with respect to the Lebesgue measure on smooth transversals. Then a topological definition of the $Λ$-Lefschetz number of any leaf preserving diffeomorphism $(M,F)\to(M,F)$ is given. For this purpose, standard results about smooth approximation and transversality are extended to the case of foliation maps. It is asked whether this topological $Λ$-Lefschetz number is equal to the analytic $Λ$-Lefschetz number defined by Heitsch and Lazarov which would be a version of the Lefschetz trace formula. Heitsch and Lazarov have shown such a trace formula when the fixed point set is transverse to $F$.

Spectral gaps for periodic Schrödinger operators with hypersurface magnetic wells

We consider a periodic magnetic Schrödinger operator on a noncompact Riemannian manifold $M$ such that $H^1(M, \RR)=0$ endowed with a properly discontinuous cocompact isometric action of a discrete group. We assume that there is no electric field and that the magnetic field has a periodic set of compact magnetic wells. We review a general scheme of a proof of existence of an arbitrary large number of gaps in the spectrum of such an operator in the semiclassical limit, which was suggested in our previous paper, and some applications of this scheme. Then we apply these methods to establish similar results in the case when the wells have regular hypersurface pieces.

Vanishing theorem for transverse Dirac operators on Riemannian foliations

We obtain a vanishing theorem for the half-kernel of a transverse ${\rm Spin}\sp c$ Dirac operator on a compact manifold endowed with a transversely almost complex Riemannian foliation twisted by a sufficiently large power of a line bundle, whose curvature vanishes along the leaves and is transversely non-degenerate at any point of the ambient manifold.

The Egorov theorem for transverse Dirac type operators on foliated manifolds

Egorov's theorem for transversally elliptic operators, acting on sections of a vector bundle over a compact foliated manifold, is proved. This theorem relates the quantum evolution of transverse pseudodifferential operators determined by a first order transversally elliptic operator with the (classical) evolution of its symbols determined by the parallel transport along the orbits of the associated transverse bicharacteristic flow. For a particular case of a transverse Dirac operator, the transverse bicharacteristic flow is shown to be given by the transverse geodesic flow and the parallel transport by the parallel transport determined by the transverse Levi-Civita connection. These results allow us to describe the noncommutative geodesic flow in noncommutative geometry of Riemannian foliations.

Lefschetz distribution of Lie foliations

Let $\mathcal F$ be a Lie foliation on a closed manifold $M$ with structural Lie group $G$. Its transverse Lie structure can be considered as a transverse action $Φ$ of $G$ on $(M,\mathcal F)$; i.e., an ``action'' which is defined up to leafwise homotopies. This $Φ$ induces an action $Φ^*$ of $G$ on the reduced leafwise cohomology $\bar H(\mathcal F)$. By using leafwise Hodge theory, the supertrace of $Φ^*$ can be defined as a distribution $L_{dis}(\mathcal F)$ on $G$ called the Lefschetz distribution of $\mathcal F$. A distributional version of the Gauss-Bonett theorem is proved, which describes $L_{dis}(\mathcal F)$ around the identity element. On any small enough open subset of $G$, $L_{dis}(\mathcal F)$ is described by a distributional version of the Lefschetz trace formula.

The periodic magnetic Schrödinger operators: spectral gaps and tunneling effect

A periodic Schrödinger operator on a noncompact Riemannian manifold $M$ such that $H^1(M, \mathbb R)=0$ endowed with a properly discontinuous cocompact isometric action of a discrete group is considered. Under some additional conditions on the magnetic field existence of an arbitrary large number of gaps in the spectrum of such an operator in the semiclassical limit is established. The proofs are based on the study of the tunneling effect in the corresponding quantum system.

Semiclassical asymptotics and gaps in the spectra of periodic Schrödinger operators with magnetic wells

We show that, under some very weak assumption of effective variation for the magnetic field, a periodic Schrödinger operator with magnetic wells on a noncompact Riemannian manifold $M$ such that $H^1(M, \R)=0$ equipped with a properly disconnected, cocompact action of a finitely generated, discrete group of isometries has an arbitrarily large number of spectral gaps in the semi-classical limit.
