Weyl Law on Asymptotically Euclidean Manifolds

We study the asymptotic behaviour of the eigenvalue counting function for self-adjoint elliptic linear operators defined through classical weighted symbols of order (1, 1), on an asymptotically Euclidean manifold. We first prove a two-term Weyl formula, improving previously known remainder estimates. Subsequently, we show that under a geometric assumption on the Hamiltonian flow at infinity, there is a refined Weyl asymptotics with three terms. The proof of the theorem uses a careful analysis of the flow behaviour in the corner component of the boundary of the double compactification of the cotangent bundle. Finally, we illustrate the results by analysing the operator $$Q=(1+|x|^2)(1-\varDelta )$$ Q = ( 1 + | x | 2 ) ( 1 - Δ ) on $$\mathbb {R}^d$$ R d .

Spectral asymptotics on stationary space-times

We review our recent relativistic generalization of the Gutzwiller–Duistermaat–Guillemin trace formula and Weyl law on globally hyperbolic stationary space-times with compact Cauchy hypersurfaces. We also discuss anticipated generalizations to non-compact Cauchy hypersurface cases.

Uniform Hyperbolicity of a Scattering Map with Lorentzian Potential

We show that a two-dimensional area-preserving map with Lorentzian potential is a topological horseshoe and uniformly hyperbolic in a certain parameter region. In particular, we closely examine the so-called sector condition, which is known to be a sufficient condition leading to the uniformly hyperbolicity of the system. The map will be suitable for testing the fractal Weyl law as it is ideally chaotic yet free from any discontinuities which necessarily invokes a serious effect in quantum mechanics such as diffraction or nonclassical effects. In addition, the map satisfies a reasonable physical boundary condition at infinity, thus it can be a good model describing the ionization process of atoms and molecules.
