Percival's conjecture for mixed dynamical systems
Percival's conjecture for mixed dynamical systems
Let be a compact Riemannian manifold with flow domain , and suppose that is the disjoint union of two invariant subsets and , where is ergodic and is integrable. Let be a complete system of eigenfunctions of the Laplace--Beltrami operator. Percival's conjecture. There exist subsets such that
equidistributes in the ergodic region , every semiclassical measure associated to the subset is supported in the completely integrable region , and
This conjecture predicts a spectral decomposition reflecting the ergodic and integrable components of a mixed dynamical system. In particular, the natural densities of the two subsets of eigenfunctions should be proportional to the Liouville measures of the corresponding invariant regions; the paper presents the Bunimovich mushroom billiard as a model case where a satisfactory general analogue of quantum ergodicity is not yet known.
