We construct the system of generalized coherent states for the quantum Kepler problem corresponds to the homogeneous domain $SU(2,2)/S(U(2)\times U(2))$. We show that the SU(2,2)-equivariant momentum map for this domain yields the momentum map for the classical Kepler problem via appropriate limiting passage.
We also show that under this passage the average values of quantum observables in this system of coherent states pass into the functions on classical phase space and $-i/h$ times commutator pass into the Poisson bracket.
We define a generalization of the T\''oplitz quantization, suitable for operators whose T\''oplitz symbols are singular. We then show that singular curve operators in Topological Quantum Fields Theory (TQFT) are precisely generalized T\''oplitz operators of this kind and we compute for some of them, and conjecture for the others, their main symbol, determined by the associated classical trace function.
In this paper we give a construction of Fedosov quantization incorporating the odd variables and an analogous formula to Getzler's pseudodifferential calculus composition formula is obtained. A Fedosov type connection is constructed on the bundle of Weyl tensor Clifford algebras over the cotangent bundle of a Riemannian manifold. The quantum algebra associated with this connection is used to define a deformation of the exterior algebra of Riemannian manifolds.
The spaces of higher-order differential operators (in Dimension 1|2), which are modules over the stringy Lie superalgebra K(2), are isomorphic to the corresponding spaces of symbols as orthosymplectic modules in non resonant cases. Such an osp (2|2)-equivariant quantization, which has been given in second-order differential operators case, keeps existing and unique. We calculate its explicit formula that provides extension in particular order cases.
We use symbol correspondence and quantum normal form theory to develop a more general method for finding uniform asymptotic approximations. We then apply this method to derive a result we announced in an earlier paper, namely, the uniform approximation of the $6j$-symbol in terms of the rotation matrices. The derivation is based on the Stratonovich-Weyl symbol correspondence between matrix operators and functions on a spherical phase space. The resulting approximation depends on a canonical, or area preserving, map between two pairs of intersecting level sets on the spherical phase space.
We develop an abstract framework for the investigation of quantization and dequantization procedures based on orthogonality relations that do not necessarily involve group representations. To illustrate the usefulness of our abstract method we show that it behaves well with respect to the infinite tensor products. This construction subsumes examples coming from the study of magnetic Weyl calculus, the magnetic pseudo-differential Weyl calculus, the metaplectic representation on locally compact abelian groups, irreducible representations associated with finite-dimensional coadjoint orbits of so…
In this monograph we develop magnetic pseudodifferential theory for operator-valued and equivariant operator-valued functions and distributions from first principles. These have found plentiful applications in mathematical physics, including in rigorous perturbation theory for slow-fast systems and perturbed periodic operators. Yet, a systematic treatise was hitherto missing. While many of the results can be found piecemeal in appendices and as sketches in other articles, this article does contain new results. For instance, we have established Beals-type commutator criteria for both cases, whi…
We present a generalization of the symbol calculus from ordinary multiple polylogarithms to their elliptic counterparts. Our formalism is based on a special case of a coaction on large classes of periods that is applied in particular to elliptic polylogarithms and iterated integrals of modular forms. We illustrate how to use our formalism to derive relations among elliptic polylogarithms, in complete analogy with the non-elliptic case. We then analyze the symbol alphabet of elliptic polylogarithms evaluated at rational points, and we observe that it is given by Eisenstein series for a certain …
In the objective of studying concentration and oscillation properties of eigenfunctions of the discrete Laplacian on regular graphs, we construct a pseudo-differential calculus on homogeneous trees, their universal covers. We define symbol classes and associated operators. We prove that these operators are bounded on L^2 and give adjoint and product formulas. Finally we compute the symbol of the commutator of a pseudo-differential operator with the Laplacian.
Maps are polygonal cellular networks on Riemann surfaces. This paper analyzes the construction of closed form general representations for the enumerative generating functions associated to maps of fixed but arbitrary genus. The method of construction developed here involves a novel asymptotic symbol calculus for difference operators based on the relation between spectral asymptotics for Hermitian random matrices and asymptotics of orthogonal polynomials with exponential weights. These closed form expressions have a universal character in the sense that they are independent of the explicit vale…
We revisit the celebrated Peierls-Onsager substitution employing the magnetic pseudo-differential calculus for weak magnetic fields with no spatial decay conditions, when the non-magnetic symbols have a certain spatial periodicity. We show in great generality that the symbol of the magnetic band Hamiltonian admits a convergent expansion. Moreover, if the non-magnetic band Hamiltonian admits a localized composite Wannier basis, we show that the magnetic band Hamiltonian is unitarily equivalent to a Hofstadter-like magnetic matrix. In addition, if the magnetic field perturbation is slowly variab…
In this work, we consider fixed $1/2$ spin particles interacting with the quantized radiation field in the context of quantum electrodynamics (QED). We investigate the time evolution operator in studying the reduced propagator (interaction picture). We first prove that this propagator belongs to the class of infinite dimensional Weyl pseudodifferential operators recently introduced in \cite {A-J-N} on Wiener spaces. We give a semiclassical expansion of the symbol of the reduced propagator up to any order with estimates on the remainder terms. Next, taking into account analyticity properties fo…
We extend the Bargmann transform to the magnetic pseudodifferential calculus, using gauge-covariant families of coherent states. We also introduce modulation mappings, a first step towards adapting modulation spaces to the magnetic case.
One can argue that on flat space $\mathbb{R}^d$ the Weyl quantization is the most natural choice and that it has the best properties (e.g. symplectic covariance, real symbols correspond to Hermitian operators). On a generic manifold, there is no distinguished quantization, and a quantization is typically defined chart-wise. Here we introduce a quantization that, we believe, has the best properties for studying natural operators on pseudo-Riemannian manifolds. It is a generalization of the Weyl quantization - we call it the balanced geodesic Weyl quantization. Among other things, we prove that …
Hodographs for the Kepler problem are circles. This fact, known since almost two centuries ago, still provides the simplest path to derive the Kepler first law. Through Feynman `lost lecture', this derivation has now reached to a wider audience. Here we look again at Feynman's approach to this problem as well as at the recently suggested modification by van Haandel and Heckman (vHH), with two aims in view, both of which extend the scope of the approach. First we review the geometric constructions of the Feynman and vHH approaches (that prove the existence of {\itshape elliptic} orbits without …
