Generalized quantum unique ergodicity conjecture for ergodic flows and maps

At least 15 years old · documented by

Let ΦHt\Phi^t_H be an ergodic Hamiltonian flow on an energy shell EE\mathcal{E}_E, with quantum Hamiltonian H^ℏ\hat H_\hbar and eigenstates ψℏ,j\psi_{\hbar,j} of energies Eℏ,j≈EE_{\hbar,j}\approx E. Let κ\kappa be a canonical ergodic map on the torus T2\mathbb{T}^2, and let (UN(κ))N∈N(U_N(\kappa))_{N\in\mathbb{N}} be an associated quantum map. Generalized quantum unique ergodicity conjecture. All eigenstates ψℏ,j\psi_{\hbar,j} with Eℏ,j≈EE_{\hbar,j}\approx E become equidistributed as ℏ→0\hbar\to0, and all eigenstates of UN(κ)U_N(\kappa) become equidistributed on T2\mathbb{T}^2 as N→∞N\to\infty. This extends QUE from negatively curved geodesic flows to ergodic Hamiltonian flows and canonical maps; the supplied source gives no resolution.
