Transition to Chaos in Classical and Quantum Mechanics

Bellissard, Jean.

Transition to Chaos in Classical and Quantum Mechanics Lectures given at the 3rd Session of the Centro Internazionale Matematico Estivo (C.I.M.E.) held in Montecatini Terme, Italy, July 6–13, 1991 / [electronic resource] : by Jean Bellissard, Mirko Degli Esposti, Giovanni Forni, Sandro Graffi, Stefano Isola, John N. Mather ; edited by Sandro Graffi. - VIII, 196 p. online resource. - C.I.M.E. Foundation Subseries ; 1589 . - C.I.M.E. Foundation Subseries ; 1589 .

Non commutative methods in semiclassical analysis -- Equidistribution of periodic orbits: An overview of classical VS quantum results -- Action minimizing orbits in hamiltomian systems.

The Session was intended to give a broad survey of the mathematical problems arising in the chaotic transition of deterministic dynamical systems, both in classical and quantum mechanics. The lectures of Mather and Forni thoroughly cover the area- preserving twist maps, and include an up-to-date version of the Aubry-Mather theory. The lectures of Bellissard describe the quantum aspects: classical limit, localization, spectral properties of the relevant Schrödinger operators and thus represent an exhaus- tive introduction to the mathematics of "quantum chaos". The lectures of Degli Esposti et al. reviews equidistribu- tion of unstable periodic orbits and classical limit of quantized toral symplectomorphisms.
