Generalized Reducibility and Growth of Sobolev Norms

We introduce the concept of {\it generalized reducibility}, which provides a flexible framework for analyzing the long-time behavior of solutions to quadratic quantum Hamiltonians. As an application of this notion, for many prescribed sub-exponential growth rates $f(t)$, either monotone or oscillatory, we explicitly construct time-decaying perturbations of the one-dimensional quantum harmonic oscillator such that the Sobolev norms of solutions grow at the rate $f(t)$.

Symplectic Normal Form and Growth of Sobolev Norm

For a class of reducible Hamiltonian partial differential equations (PDEs) with arbitrary spatial dimensions, quantified by a quadratic polynomial with time-dependent coefficients, we present a comprehensive classification of long-term solution behaviors within Sobolev space. This classification is achieved through the utilization of Metaplectic and Schrödinger representations. Each pattern of Sobolev norm behavior corresponds to a specific $n-$dimensional symplectic normal form, as detailed in Theorems 1.1 and 1.2. When applied to periodically or quasi-periodically forced $n-$dimensional quantum harmonic oscillators, we identify novel growth rates for the $\mathcal{H}^s-$norm as $t$ tends to infinity, such as $t^{(n-1)s}e^{λst}$ (with $λ>0$) and $t^{(2n-1)s}+ ιt^{2ns}$ (with $ι\geq 0$). Notably, we demonstrate that stability in Sobolev space, defined as the boundedness of the Sobolev norm, is essentially a unique characteristic of one-dimensional scenarios, as outlined in Theorem 1.3. As a byproduct, we discover that the growth rate of the Sobolev norm for the quantum Hamiltonian can be directly described by that of the solution to the classical Hamiltonian which exhibits the ``fastest" growth, as articulated in Theorem 1.4.

Orthogonal Geometry of Magneto-Optical Kerr Effect Enabled by Magnetization Multipole of Berry Curvature

The Magneto-Optical Kerr Effect (MOKE) is a fundamental tool in magnetometry, pivotal for advancing research in optics, magnetism, and spintronics as a direct probe of magnetization. Traditional MOKE measurements primarily detect the magnetization components parallel to the Poynting vector, which can only access the magnitude but not the direction of the orthogonal component. In this study, we introduce an orthogonal MOKE geometry in which the Kerr signal detects both the magnitude and direction of the magnetization component perpendicular to the Poynting vector. We demonstrate the broad applicability of this orthogonal geometry through the MOKE measurements in cubic ferromagnets and van der Waals ferromagnet. We theoretically show that the orthogonal MOKE geometry is enabled by the multipolar structure of Berry curvature in the magnetization space, which generally induces a Voigt vector orthogonal to the magnetization, thereby accounting for the unique magnetization angle dependence distinct from conventional MOKE. The establishment of the orthogonal MOKE geometry not only introduces a new paradigm for magneto-optical measurements but also provides a framework for exploring the magnetization multipoles of Berry curvature across the electromagnetic spectrum.

Almost reducibility and oscillatory growth of Sobolev norms

For 1D quantum harmonic oscillator perturbed by a time quasi-periodic quadratic form of $(x,-{\rm i}\partial_x)$, we show its almost reducibility. The growth of Sobolev norms of solution is described based on the scheme of almost reducibility. In particular, an $o(t^s)-$upper bound is shown for the $\CH^s-$norm if the equation is non-reducible. Moreover, by Anosov-Katok construction, we also show the optimality of this upper bound, i.e., the existence of quasi-periodic quadratic perturbation for which the growth of ${\mathcal H}^s-$norm of the solution is $o(t^s)$ as $t\to\infty$ but arbitrarily ``close" to $t^s$ in an oscillatory way.

Reducibility of 1-D quantum harmonic oscillator with new unbounded oscillatory perturbations

Enlightened by Lemma 1.7 in \cite{LiangLuo2021}, we prove a similar lemma which is based upon oscillatory integrals and Langer's turning point theory. From it we show that the Schr{ö}dinger equation $${\rm i}\partial_t u = -\partial_x^2 u+x^2 u+ε\langle x\rangle^μ\sum_{k\inΛ}\left(a_k(ωt)\sin(k|x|^β)+b_k(ωt) \cos(k|x|^β)\right) u,\quad u=u(t,x),~x\in\mathbb{R},~ β>1,$$ can be reduced in $\mathcal{H}^1(\mathbb{R})$ to an autonomous system for most values of the frequency vector $ω$, where $Λ\subset\mathbb R\setminus\{0\}$, $|Λ|<\infty$ and $\langle x\rangle:=\sqrt{1+x^2}$. The functions $a_k(θ)$ and $b_k(θ)$ are analytic on $\mathbb T^n_σ$ and $μ\geq 0$ will be chosen according to the value of $β$. Comparing with \cite{LiangLuo2021}, the novelty is that the phase functions of oscillatory integral are more degenerate when $β>1$.

Growth of Sobolev Norms in 1-d Quantum Harmonic Oscillator with Polynomial Time Quasi-periodic Perturbation

We consider the one-dimensional quantum harmonic oscillator perturbed by a linear operator which is a polynomial of degree $2$ in $(x,-{\rm i}\partial_x)$, with coefficients quasi-periodically depending on time. By establishing the reducibility results, we describe the growth of Sobolev norms. In particular, the $t^{2s}-$polynomial growth of ${\mathcal H}^s-$norm is observed in this model if the original time quasi-periodic equation is reduced to a constant Stark Hamiltonian.

Reducibility of Quantum Harmonic Oscillator on $\mathbb{R}^d$ Perturbed by a Quasi-periodic Potential with Logarithmic Decay

We prove the reducibility of quantum harmonic oscillators in $\mathbb R^d$ perturbed by a quasi-periodic in time potential $V(x,ωt)$ with $\mathit{logarithmic~decay}$. By a new estimate built for solving the homological equation we improve the reducibility result by Grébert-Paturel(Annales de la Faculté des sciences de Toulouse : Mathématiques. $\mathbf{28}$, 2019).

Reducibility of 1-D Quantum Harmonic Oscillator with Decaying Conditions on the Derivative of Perturbation Potentials

We prove the reducibility of 1-D quantum harmonic oscillators in $\mathbb R$ perturbed by a quasi-periodic in time potential $V(x,ωt)$ under the following conditions, namely there is a $C>0$ such that \begin{equation*} |V(x,θ)|\le C,\quad|x\partial_xV(x,θ)|\le C,\quad\forall~(x,θ)\in\mathbb R\times\mathbb T_σ^n. \end{equation*} The corresponding perturbation matrix $(P_i^j(θ))$ is proved to satisfy $(1+|i-j|)| P_i^j(θ)|\le C$ and $\sqrt{ij}|P_{i+1}^{j+1}(θ)-P_i^j(θ)|\le C$ for any $θ\in\mathbb T_σ^n$ and $i,j\geq 1$. A new reducibility theorem is set up under this kind of decay in the perturbation matrix element $P_{i}^j(θ)$ as well as the discrete difference matrix element $P_{i+1}^{j+1}(θ)-P_i^j(θ)$. For the proof the novelty is that we use the decay in the discrete difference matrix element to control the measure estimates for the thrown parameter sets.

1-d Quantum Harmonic Oscillator with Time Quasi-periodic Quadratic Perturbation: Reducibility and Growth of Sobolev Norms

For a family of 1-d quantum harmonic oscillator with a perturbation which is $C^2$ parametrized by $E\in{\mathcal I}\subset{\Bbb R}$ and quadratic on $x$ and $-{\rm i}\partial_x$ with coefficients quasi-periodically depending on time $t$, we show the reducibility (i.e., conjugation to time-independent) for a.e. $E$. As an application of reducibility, we describe the behaviors of solution in Sobolev space: -- Boundedness w.r.t. $t$ is always true for "most" $E\in{\mathcal I}$. -- For "generic" time-dependent perturbation, polynomial growth and exponential growth to infinity w.r.t. $t$ occur for $E$ in a "small" part of ${\mathcal I}$. Concrete examples are given for which the growths of Sobolev norm do occur.

Reducibility of 1-d Quantum Harmonic Oscillator Equation with Unbounded Oscillation Perturbations

We build a new estimate relative with Hermite functions based upon oscillatory integrals and Langer's turning point theory. From it we show that the equation $$ i \partial_t u =-\partial_x^2 u+x^2 u+ε\langle x\rangle^μ W(νx,ωt)u,\quad u=u(t,x),~x\in\mathbb R,~ 0\leq μ<\frac13,$$ can be reduced in $\mathcal H^1(\mathbb R)$ to an autonomous system for most values of the frequency vector $ω$ and $ν$, where $W(φ, θ)$ is a smooth map from $ \mathbb T^d\times \mathbb T^n$ to $\mathbb R$ and odd in $φ$.

Reducibility of quantum harmonic oscillator on $ R^d$ with differential and quasi-periodic in time potential

We improve the results by Grébert and Paturel in \cite{GP} and prove that a linear Schrödinger equation on $R^d$ with harmonic potential $|x|^2$ and small $t$-quasiperiodic potential as $$ {\rm i}u_t - Δu+|x|^2u+\varepsilon V(ωt,x)u=0, \ (t,x)\in R\times R^d $$ reduces to an autonomous system for most values of the frequency vector $ω\in R^n$. The new point is that the potential $V(θ,\cdot )$ is only in ${\mathcal{C}^β}(T^n, \mathcal{H}^{s}(R^d))$ with $β$ large enough. As a consequence any solution of such a linear PDE is almost periodic in time and remains bounded in some suitable Sobolev norms.

1d Quantum Harmonic Oscillator Perturbed by a Potential with Logarithmic Decay

In this paper we prove an infinite dimensional KAM theorem, in which the assumptions on the derivatives of perturbation in \cite{GT} are weakened from polynomial decay to logarithmic decay. As a consequence, we apply it to 1d quantum harmonic oscillators and prove the reducibility of a linear harmonic oscillator, $T=- \frac{d^2}{dx^2}+x^2$, on $L^2(\R)$ perturbed by a quasi-periodic in time potential $V(x,ωt; ω)$ with logarithmic decay. This entails the pure-point nature of the spectrum of the Floquet operator $K$, where K:=-{\rm i}\sum_{k=1}^nω_k\frac{\partial}{\partial θ_k}- \frac{d^2}{dx^2}+x^2+\varepsilon V(x,θ;ω), is defined on $L^2(\R) \otimes L^2(\T^n)$ and the potential $V(x,θ;ω)$ has logarithmic decay as well as its gradient in $ω$.
