Conjecture on semiclassical transport of localized data along curved interfaces

Let y0Γy_0\in\Gamma, let α1,α2C\alpha_1,\alpha_2\in\mathbb{C}, and let λ1,λ2\lambda_1,\lambda_2 be defined by the decomposition

[α1α2]=λ1[eiθ0/2eiθ0/2]+λ2[eiθ0/2\eiθ0/2].\begin{bmatrix}\alpha_1\alpha_2\end{bmatrix}=\lambda_1\begin{bmatrix}e^{-i\theta_0/2}\\-e^{i\theta_0/2}\end{bmatrix}+\lambda_2\begin{bmatrix}e^{-i\theta_0/2}\e^{i\theta_0/2}\end{bmatrix}.

Semiclassical transport conjecture. There exists β<3/4\beta<3/4 such that, under the assumptions in, the solution Ψt\Psi_t of

(εDt+H)Ψt=0,Ψ0(x)=1εexp(xy022ε)[α1α2](\varepsilon D_t+H)\Psi_t=0,\qquad \Psi_0(x)=\frac{1}{\sqrt{\varepsilon}}\exp\left(-\frac{|x-y_0|^2}{2\varepsilon}\right)\begin{bmatrix}\alpha_1\alpha_2\end{bmatrix}

satisfies, uniformly for ε(0,1]\varepsilon\in(0,1] and t>0t>0,

Ψt(x)=λ1εexp(xyt22ε)[eiθt/2eiθt/2]+OL2(ε1/2t)+OL(εβt1/2).\Psi_t(x)=\frac{\lambda_1}{\sqrt{\varepsilon}}\exp\left(-\frac{|x-y_t|^2}{2\varepsilon}\right)\begin{bmatrix}e^{-i\theta_t/2}\\-e^{i\theta_t/2}\end{bmatrix}+\mathcal{O}_{L^2}\bigl(\varepsilon^{1/2}\langle t\rangle\bigr)+\mathcal{O}_{L^\infty}\bigl(\varepsilon^{-\beta}\langle t\rangle^{-1/2}\bigr).

This extends the preceding result from initial data aligned with the interface state to general semiclassically localized data. The component proportional to λ2\lambda_2 is predicted to disperse along the interface, with rate ε1/4t1/2\varepsilon^{-1/4}t^{-1/2} in the linear case, while the surviving localized component follows the state represented by λ1\lambda_1.
