Microlocal trace formula conjecture for the bulk-edge invariant

Let ρ1,ρ2\rho_1,\rho_2 be the ranks of the bulk Bloch bundles \pazocalE+\pazocal{E}_+ and \pazocalE\pazocal{E}_-, and assume

ρ1=ρ2=n.\rho_1=\rho_2=n.

Let \pazocalIe(P)\pazocal{I}_e(P) denote the edge invariant, let Ph\mathbb{P}_h be the semiclassical Hamiltonian, let f(x1)f(x_1) be the cutoff appearing in the edge construction, and let Wh\mathbb{W}_h be the quantization of the symbol W(x,ξ)=λG(x,ξ;P(x2,ξ))\mathbb{W}(x,\xi)=\partial_\lambda G(x,\xi;\mathbb{P}(x_2,\xi)), where GG is supported in a 2δ2\delta-neighborhood of the crossing set of the nn-th and (n+1)(n+1)-st dispersion surfaces. Microlocal trace formula conjecture. There exists δ0>0\delta_0>0 such that, for δ(0,δ0)\delta\in(0,\delta_0),

\pazocalIe(P)=Tr\pazocalH([Ph,f(x1)]Wh)+O(h).\pazocal{I}_e(P)=\operatorname{Tr}_{\pazocal{H}}\Big(\big[\mathbb{P}_h,f(x_1)\big]\cdot\mathbb{W}_h\Big)+O(h^\infty).

The conjecture predicts that, in the semiclassical limit, contributions to the edge invariant are microlocalized near the wavefront set of Wh\mathbb{W}_h, which lies in the region where the two relevant dispersion surfaces nearly intersect; functions microlocalized away from this region should not contribute.
